00:01 Hello there and Happy Sabbath.
00:04 Come on in. We're about to meet with the King. 00:07 ¤ ¤ 00:55 Good day. I'm Auntie Nat. 00:57 And I'm Auntie Cecily. 00:58 We're so glad that you've decided to join us in our 01:00 worship time together to welcome in the Sabbath aren't 01:03 we kids. Yes. Auntie Cecily. I know you want to say a big hello 01:07 to someone who's been watching the program. 01:10 Yes, I want to say a big hello to Sarah from Queensland. 01:13 Hello Sarah. Hello Sarah. Hi. 01:16 We also can't forget to say hello to Teddy. Teddy is so 01:21 wonderful to have you back on the couch with us again. Auntie 01:24 Cecily would you like to say a prayer for us please before we 01:27 open our worship time together. 01:29 Yes. Let's bow our heads. Dear Father in heaven, we thank you 01:33 so much for keeping us safe during the past week. And we 01:36 thank you so much for the Sabbath and we pray that you 01:40 would be with us now as we worship you. 01:42 In Jesus' name. Amen. 01:44 Amen. Thanks Auntie Cecily. Did you have a good week this week? 01:48 I did. I had a rather busy week but I'm really glad it's the 01:51 Sabbath and I really enjoy the Sabbath day's rest. 01:54 Aw yes. I'm so grateful that the Sabbath has arrived because we 01:58 can rest from our busy week. Do you know that Sabbath is a time 02:01 that we can be a blessing to others to share Jesus' love. 02:05 We have a blessing box here and I'm going to get Ben to open the 02:10 box and pull out a blessing that we can do for someone this 02:13 Sabbath. 02:16 Invite a visitor from church or a friend home for lunch. 02:20 Wow. So that's the blessing of hospitality. Do you sometimes 02:24 have people home at lunch at your place? What's your favorite 02:27 food you like to eat on Sabbath for lunch? Ben. 02:30 Definitely haystacks. 02:32 That sounds wonderful Ben. Haystacks is my favorite as well 02:35 but how much more wonderful to share that with someone else. 02:38 Boys and Girls, have you shared a meal with someone recently 02:41 to show how much Jesus loves them. If you have, we would love 02:45 to hear from you so we can share the blessing here with the 02:49 children. Our contact address is 02:50 on the screen. www. adaywiththeking. com 02:51 Quick, write it down. 02:53 dwk@3abnaustralia. org. ua 02:55 Um Cecily, I know that you have a blessing to share 02:57 with us as well. 02:58 Yes. Today I want to talk with you about the promised land. 03:00 Later in our Bible study we'll 03:02 read how the children of Israel 03:04 finally entered the promised land, the land of Canaan. God 03:09 kept His promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But do you know 03:14 that God has also prepared a promised land for us. 03:18 It's called heaven. There are promises in the Bible that tell 03:22 us about this. Here's a beautiful passage found in the 03:26 Bible in John 14:1-3. Jesus is speaking these words. He says: 03:32 Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also 03:37 in me. In my Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so 03:43 I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you and if I 03:48 go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive 03:53 you to myself that where I am there you may be also. These 03:59 promises give us great hope and comfort. So remember to believe 04:03 in God's promises. 04:05 Amen. Thanks Auntie Cecily. God is so good. I can't wait to get 04:10 to the heavenly promised land. Oh hello Pastor Rick. It's great 04:14 that you've come to join us in praising God in song. You're 04:18 such a blessing to us. 04:19 It's lovely to be here again. 04:21 And it's just so special to be 04:22 here on Sabbath and to sing songs to Jesus which is really 04:26 special. I've got a special song called We Gather to Meet With 04:29 the King. Can we sing this one together? Yes. 04:30 All right. ¤ ¤ 05:12 Pastor Rick can we sing God Is My Best Friend? 05:16 That's a lovely song Caleb. Let's sing it together. 06:18 Pastor Rick can we please sing On Jordan's Stormy Banks? 06:21 Yes we can because it's a beautiful song. 07:05 Thanks Pastor Rick. It's so good to praise God in song. 07:11 Guess what. Dr. John's back with some more wonderful stories 07:15 for us. We learn so much from his stories don't we? So let's 07:19 go and join him in his study. 07:22 Hello boys and girls. My name is Dr. John Hammond and welcome 07:26 to my study. And all the boys and girls around the world, I'm 07:31 so glad that you can join us. You know, my name is John and 07:35 my middle name is Gilbert and I am John G. and I'm named after 07:41 this man. He's got more whiskers than I've got. But his name is 07:47 in my family's name. My mother's name was Ollie Peyton Duff Howey 07:54 and John G. Peyton was a famous missionary. He was just a little 08:01 boy in Scotland and he wanted to be a missionary and he put 08:05 his hand up and he said, I will go anywhere that God wants me 08:09 to go. And they looked at him and they said, Would you like 08:13 to go to the New Hebrides. That's what we call Vanuatu 08:18 these days and the New Hebrides was a very, very dangerous place 08:24 It was terrible. And he got married and he got on board a 08:28 boat that took him four months to get to the Island of Tanna 08:34 and he was scared because there were cannibals. Now what does a 08:39 cannibal do that we don't do? Eat people? Eats people. 08:46 And when he landed he could hear them all yelling and screaming 08:50 and carrying on. He was so scared. During the night he 08:55 could hear fighting and yelling. In the morning, he opened his 08:59 trunk and he'd come all the way from Scotland. You know what 09:05 Scottish people like to bring? He had brought with him a tea 09:10 pot and he said to his servant I would like some water for my tea 09:16 pot. Could you go and get it? And he went down to the spring 09:19 and he got some water and he came back and he looked very 09:23 sad and he said, Ah Pastor, the water's not very good it's all 09:28 red because the cannibals were there last night getting ready 09:33 to eat the bodies. Oh oh. You know what? He never drank any 09:39 more tea while he was there. Instead he went and he got a 09:46 coconut and all the time that he was there he only ever drank 09:52 coconut water because the cannibals didn't like it. Would 09:57 you like a little sip?. Is that nice? He lived on coconuts for 10:05 years. And you know the longer he lived there the harder the 10:12 work became. And then one day he decided he would teach them how 10:18 to read. And he got all the boys and girls and he got all 10:23 the cannibal chiefs and he said the first person who can recite 10:28 the alphabet and write it is going to get a prize and I have 10:32 a special present here. He said, I have a red shirt. Look at that 10:41 All those people wore ever was pigs grease and dirt and maybe 10:48 a feather. Ah, they said, I'd love a shirt like that and the 10:55 next day an old cannibal chief, he was the worst of the 11:00 cannibals, he came and put his hand up and he said, I know, I 11:02 know, I've got the secret. I can give you the alphabet. Really? 11:08 And he said, A, that's the legs, two legs without a body, num num 11:18 This was a cannibal alphabet. B, two eyes, Num num num and he 11:26 went right through the alphabet, all cannibal alphabet. F was a 11:32 man holding a big club and a little club. There was a man holding 11:40 three clubs, until he got to Zed with the broken body and he said 11:47 can I have the shirt? And you know, he became a Christian. 11:49 He taught the boys and girls how to say the alphabet. He couldn't 11:55 stop using his cannibal alphabet You know, Pastor Peyton had only 12:01 been there for three months and his wife died and then his 12:07 little baby died 20 days later. He lost everything he ever had 12:14 And finally all he had left was a little dog and his name was 12:21 Klootha and Klootha actually came one night when the 12:25 cannibals were wanting to kill him, jumped up on the bed and 12:27 he pulled the bedclothes and out he came and he realized that he 12:33 being surrounded and he got on his knees and he spoke to the 12:37 people and they finally settled down. But before he left 12:41 Scotland, an old man said to him, You will be eaten by 12:46 cannibals. And he said it every time he saw him. And finally 12:49 John Peyton said, One day you'll be eaten by worms and I might be 12:56 eaten by cannibals but we'll still meet in heaven. But you 13:00 know, he was never eaten. He went through terrible, terrible 13:06 hardships. He was badly treated but he died an old man, very 13:11 happy and he served God all his life and he actually died here 13:16 in Australia. And he is known as the greatest of all our 13:21 missionaries in the Pacific Islands. A wonderful man 13:26 John Peyton. Thank you boys and girls. 13:29 Hi boys and girls. Welcome to our Bible study. If you haven't 13:32 got your Bibles ready yet, go get them now so you can follow 13:35 along with us. Kate would you like to say a prayer to open up 13:39 our Bible study today. 13:40 Dear Father thank you for your word. Be with the children who 13:45 are joining us and help them to understand what we read today. 13:49 In Jesus' name. Amen. 13:51 Amen. Thank you Kate. Do you know we're going to start in a 13:55 new book of the Bible today and that book is Joshua. Now there 13:59 was a man named Joshua who the book is named after. Now last 14:02 time we met when we finished our Bible studies, Moses had 14:06 passed away and Joshua was named the new leader. And Anna can you 14:10 remember where the children of Israel were? 14:13 At the border of the promised land. 14:15 Yes they were. And Aunt Cecily's just going to show on our map 14:18 here where they were. Just up there, ready to cross over. 14:22 Thanks Aunt Cecily. Now Anna, you're going to start our 14:25 reading off today in Joshua 1:2-3 and 5. 14:32 Moses my servant is dead. Now, therefore, arise. Go over this 14:37 Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving 14:42 to them, the children of Israel. Every place that is the sole of 14:47 your foot will tread upon I have given you as I said to 14:53 Moses. No man shall be able to stand before you all the days 14:57 of your life. As I was with Moses so I will be with you. 15:00 I will not leave you nor forsake you, 15:03 Wow. So God is telling Joshua that he wants the children of 15:07 Israel to cross the Jordan and take possession of the land. 15:11 I like the promise that God is giving to Joshua in verse 5 that 15:15 just God was with Moses, He would also be with Joshua. 15:20 Now Matthew you're going to do our next reading in Joshua 1:7-8 15:25 Finally be strong and very courageous that you may observe 15:29 to do according to all the law which Moses my servant 15:33 commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the 15:36 left that you may prosper wherever you go. This book of 15:40 the law shall not depart from your mouth but you shall 15:44 meditate in it day and night that you may observe to do 15:49 according to all that is written in it. For then you will make 15:52 your way prosperous and then you will have good success. 15:56 Wow. Thanks Matthew. That was great reading. So God is 15:59 reminding Joshua how important it is for the children of Israel 16:03 to keep His commandments because Matthew just read if they do 16:07 that they will prosper. Now we're going to continue on to 16:11 the next verse, Joshua 1:9, and we're going to read that 16:14 together as a memory verse. Can we do that? Joshua 1:9. 16:18 Let's start. 16:19 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do 16:25 not be afraid nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with 16:32 you wherever you go. 16:34 Wow. This is a good promise for us to remember. So Joshua 16:38 decides to send out two men to spy out the land and he wants 16:42 them to spy the city of Jericho. And they come to a 16:47 house where Rahab lived and do you know what the king found 16:51 out and he sent two of his soldiers and what do you think 16:55 they did. They sent (knock, knock, knock) on Rahab's door. 16:59 Let's see what happens. Bethany, can you read 17:01 Joshua 2:3-6 please. 17:03 So the king of Jericho sent to Rahab saying, Bring out the men 17:07 who have come to you who have entered your house for they have 17:12 come to search out all the country. Then the woman took 17:15 the two men and hid them. So she said, Yes the men came to me 17:19 but I did not know where they were from and it happened as the 17:23 gate was being shut when it was dark that the men went out. 17:28 Where the men went I do not know. Pursue them quickly for 17:32 you may overtake them. But she had brought them up to the roof 17:36 and hidden them with stalks of flax which she had laid in order 17:39 on the roof. 17:41 Wow. So Bethany where did she hide the spies? 17:43 In the um stalks of... yeah. 17:47 Up on the roof didn't she. Yeah. Okay, Kate I want to read what 17:52 Rahab says to the spies. Can you do that in Joshua 2:10-11 please 17:56 For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red 18:01 Sea for you when you came out of Egypt and what you did to the 18:05 two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the 18:10 Jordan, Sidon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed. And as soon 18:15 as we heard these things our hearts melted; neither did there 18:19 remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for the 18:24 Lord your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth below. 18:28 Mmm. Thanks Kate. So Rahab is telling the spies that all the 18:32 people in the city of Jericho and Canaan are faint hearted 18:36 because they can see that the Israelites God is very great. 18:41 Rahab in verse 11 acknowledges that God is the God of heaven 18:45 above and the earth beneath. Let's continue Caleb in 18:49 Joshua 2:12-14. 18:52 Now therefore, I beg you, swear to me by the Lord, since I have 18:57 shown you kindness, that you also will show kindness to my 19:02 father's house and give me a true token, and spare my father, 19:06 my mother, my brothers, my sisters and all that they have 19:11 and deliver our lives from death So the men answered her, Our 19:16 lives for yours, if none of you tell this business of ours. And 19:20 it shall be when the Lord has given us the land that we will 19:25 deal kindly and truly with you. 19:29 Wow. Thanks Caleb. So by faith Rahab is reaching out and 19:33 choosing to believe in the Israelites God and is asking 19:37 them to look after her and her family and not to harm them and 19:42 the two spies promise. Okay J J let's see what happens next. 19:46 Joshua 2:15. 19:48 Then she let them down by a rope through the window for her house 19:54 was on the city wall. She dwelt on the wall. 19:57 Mmm. So Rahab lets them down out of her window which, just a 20:01 J J said is right on the city wall so she can let them down 20:07 through the window and the spies tell Rahab for her to keep her 20:11 family safe and Rahab safe that she has to hang a red scarlet 20:16 cord in the window. So the spies have something very interesting 20:21 to say to Joshua when they get back. Auntie Cecily, can you 20:24 please tell us what that was in Joshua 2:24. 20:27 And they said to Joshua, Truly the Lord has delivered all the 20:32 land into our hands for indeed all the inhabitants of the 20:36 country are faint hearted because of us. 20:40 Ohhh, hallelujah. Was that a good report? Yes. Oh it was. 20:44 That's wonderful. So the children of Israel go to the 20:48 banks of the Jordan River and camp there for three days. 20:52 Anna, we're going to see what happens next in Joshua 3:6-8. 20:56 Then Joshua spoke to the priests saying, Take up the ark of the 21:00 covenant and cross over before the people. So they took up the 21:04 ark of the covenant and went before the people. And the Lord 21:08 said to Joshua, This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight 21:13 of all Israel that they may know that as I was with Moses so I 21:18 will be with you. You shall command the priests who bear the 21:22 ark of the covenant, saying, When you have come to the edge 21:27 of the water of the Jordan, you shall stand in the Jordan. 21:31 Thanks Anna. So God is instructing Joshua to tell the 21:34 priests to take the ark of the covenant and lead the people 21:38 across the river. God also tells Joshua He's going to do 21:42 something that will show the Israelites that Joshua is God's 21:46 appointed leader. By faith the priests had to put their feet in 21:51 the river. Matthew can you please continue in 21:53 Joshua 3:15-17. 21:58 And as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan and the feet 22:03 of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water 22:07 (for the Jordan overflows all its banks during the whole time 22:11 of the harvest), that the waters which came down from upstream 22:15 stood still and rose in a heap very far away at Adam, the city 22:20 that is beside Zaretan. So the waters that went down into the 22:25 Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, failed and were cut off and the 22:31 people crossed over opposite Jericho. Then the priests who 22:34 bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry 22:37 ground in the midst of the Jordan and all Israel crossed 22:40 over on dry ground until all of the people had crossed 22:43 completely over the Jordan. 22:45 Wow. Thanks Matthew. So once those priests' feet were in the 22:51 water then God parted the Jordan River and the children of Israel 22:55 could cross on the dry riverbed. Isn't God good. Yes. He is. 22:59 Let's have a look at our Torch Light Bethany and you're going 23:03 to read that for us and let's see what Mrs. White's writings 23:07 shine on that verse that Matthew just read. 23:11 The influence of this miracle 23:13 both upon the Hebrews and upon 23:16 their enemies was of great importance. It was an assurance 23:20 to Israel of God's continued presence and protection-an 23:24 evidence that He would work for them through Joshua as he had 23:27 wrought through Moses. 23:29 Mmm. Thanks Bethany. So God performed the miracle to assure 23:33 them that He would be them and Joshua was the newly appointed 23:37 leader. Now something happened when they entered the promised 23:41 land. Kate I need to read for me please Joshua 5:12. 23:45 Then the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce 23:51 of the land and the children of Israel no longer had manna but 23:56 they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year. 23:59 Wow. So after 40 years of God providing them manna, they no 24:03 longer needed it because they were in the promised land where 24:07 there was lots of food. So the children of Israel were now on 24:11 the other side of the Jordan River at a place called Gilgal. 24:16 Not far from their encampment was the city of Jericho. Now 24:20 Joshua knew this was the first city that they would have to 24:24 gain possession of to gain Canaan. So Joshua went off by 24:28 himself to pray. This experience must have been a great 24:32 assurance to 24:33 Joshua. God is so good. He does everything He can to assure us 24:37 that He is with us. Thank you boys and girls for reading along 24:40 with us. We have a devotional available that goes into more 24:44 depth on what we have studied today.
