00:02 Hello there! Happy Sabbath!
00:04 Come on in, we're about to meet with the King!
00:53 Hello, I'm Aunty Net and it's great you have come
00:55 to join us for our worship time.
00:57 Hi Aunty Cecily, how has your week been?
01:00 Oh okay, good but a busy week.
01:02 But I'm so glad to be here
01:03 with you all for another worship time.
01:05 Yes, I'm glad the Sabbath has arrived.
01:09 Aunty Cecily, would you like to say hello to someone
01:11 who regularly watches our program
01:13 and joins with our worship time?
01:15 I sure would... I actually have several children
01:18 to say hello to.
01:19 I'd like to send a BIG Hello to Colby, Tyler and Brianna
01:24 from Queensland.
01:25 Hi Colby, Tyler and Brianna! Hello!
01:29 Now there's someone else we need to say hello to...
01:31 Hello Teddy, so good to have you on the couch with us.
01:35 Erin, can you please say a prayer for us
01:38 to welcome in our worship time?
01:40 Dear Lord... Thank You that we are all here together
01:43 to welcome in Your Sabbath day.
01:45 Thank You for the many blessings You have given us this week.
01:48 In Jesus name... Amen, Amen!
01:51 Thank you Erin.
01:52 Now let's look at another key to the Kingdom.
01:56 And I'm going to get Sophie to open our box today
01:59 and see what our key is.
02:05 "Confess your wrongs."
02:06 Can you turn the label over and tell us what the Bible
02:09 text is?
02:10 1 John 1:9. Thanks Sophie.
02:14 Caleb, can you please read that text for us from the Bible?
02:17 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just
02:21 to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from
02:24 all unrighteousness." Thank you Caleb.
02:27 Aunty Cecily, can you tell us more about this key?
02:30 Yes, remember last week's lesson, David repented of
02:34 his sin but he also confessed it.
02:38 He didn't try to make his sin any less serious
02:40 than it really was.
02:42 Confession is not about blaming someone else.
02:45 It's about taking responsibility for our own actions.
02:49 In David's prayer of repentance in Psalm 51:3,
02:53 he said... "For I acknowledge or I admit my transgressions,
02:58 and my sin is always before me."
03:01 So to confess your sin - is to admit that you did it.
03:05 Confession will not be acceptable to God
03:08 without sincere repentance and a
03:10 willingness to change our ways.
03:13 God has created us with the power of choice,
03:16 and we can choose whether to follow God or not.
03:20 What we can do is give our will or our power of choice
03:25 to God and ask Him to guide us or to direct our
03:29 steps day-by-day so that we are simply
03:32 carrying out His will.
03:34 Caleb, have you had to confess something to your mom or dad
03:38 when you've done something wrong? Yeah.
03:40 And was that a hard thing to do? Not really.
03:44 And why was that?
03:46 I knew mom wouldn't be angry with me if I told her
03:48 the truth and owned up.
03:50 Well, it's just like that when we confess our sins
03:53 to our Heavenly Father, sometimes it seems hard to do,
03:57 but if we ask God to help us confess, we'll find that it's
04:01 not so hard to do and we'll feel so much better when we do.
04:06 So as we spend time with the King this Sabbath,
04:09 let's ask God to give us the gift of repentance
04:12 and confession so that God can forgive us and cleanse us,
04:16 and keep a place for us in His Kingdom.
04:19 Thanks, Aunty Cecily, for sharing the third key with us.
04:22 God wants us to ask Him about everything and He will
04:26 give us the help we need.
04:28 I can see that Braedan has arrived to help us
04:31 with our worship time.
04:32 It's good to be here! Hi boys and girls!
04:34 Let's sing "Remember the Sabbath."
05:22 Braedan, can we please sing, "I Am So Glad?"
05:25 We certainly can.
06:29 Braedan, can we please sing, "A Little Talk with Jesus?"
06:32 That's a great song, let's sing it together.
07:22 Thanks Braedan!
07:23 Singing praises to God really lifts our spirits.
07:27 Now Dr. John has another inspiring
07:29 story for us, let's go and listen!
07:32 Hello boys and girls, it's wonderful to have
07:35 you as my little friends again.
07:38 I want to say a special welcome to the older people
07:41 all around the world because I know you watch
07:43 "A Day With the King," and you love the stories.
07:47 Thank you for joining us today.
07:49 I want to tell you a story from the Bible and I'll bet
07:52 you've never heard it before.
07:53 It's from the Bible and from history and there's just
07:57 one little verse in the Bible that mentions his name.
07:59 But I'll start with a man called, "Manaen,"
08:03 and he was a prophet.
08:06 And he was walking down the road one day,
08:08 and this is from Josephus, the historian...
08:12 And God said to Manahen, "Do you see that little
08:15 boy walking down the road?"
08:17 Jeremiah, you be my little boy today - stand-up and
08:21 turn around.
08:22 Now this little boy was going to school and he wasn't
08:27 too happy about it.
08:28 He was walking - come on, going-to-school-face, alright!
08:33 Now God said to Manahen "I want you to go and tell
08:38 that boy that one day he's going to be king."
08:43 Now how do you tell a little boy, who is 7 years old,
08:46 (you're a bit older than 7), how do you tell a little boy
08:49 something that he will not forget because little boys
08:52 have got very good forgetteries, and so Manahen thought...
08:56 "I know what I'll do."
08:58 He snuck up behind him... (don't you look at me,
09:01 you look that way) and when the little boy
09:06 least expected it, Manahen came up behind him
09:11 and went "BOOM" on the backside!
09:13 And he jumped in the air and he turned around
09:16 and he said, "Young man, one day you will be king,
09:21 off you go to school."
09:22 Thank you Jeremiah.
09:25 Many years later, the boy became king!
09:30 And the first thing he did was to call Manahen.
09:33 He said, "You made a prophecy that I was
09:36 going to be king, and you were right!"
09:39 He said, "Will I be king for 10 years?" "Um hm"
09:44 "Oh good, will I be king for 20 years?"
09:47 "Um hm." Then he got bold,
09:51 he said, "30 years?"
09:54 And Manahen's face didn't look quite as cheerful,
09:57 and he said, "Yes, but your last
10:02 10 years won't be very happy ones." "Oh, okay."
10:07 And he said, "I'm going to reward you by adopting
10:11 your son and he will be a half- brother to one of the princes."
10:15 The king's name was... he called himself "Hero," Hero the Great,
10:20 we know him as "Herod" and he became a special friend
10:25 to little Manaen, the son of Manahen,
10:28 to King Antipas and he stayed with him.
10:33 He ate at the royal table; everything he did
10:37 was at the royal table and he was probably
10:40 watching when Jesus was tortured and teased,
10:45 and mocked by King Antipas.
10:49 And one day he said, "I cannot stay here any longer."
10:54 And he said, "That man that you crucified, Jesus Christ,
10:59 I believe He was the Messiah, the Son of God,
11:03 the Savior of the world and I have to leave."
11:08 He went all the way across to Antioch and all the disciples
11:12 were in Antioch because they had been driven by
11:15 persecution out of Jerusalem.
11:18 And one day God said, "I want you to do a very special
11:24 thing - I want you to ordain my servant "Saul
11:28 and Barnabas to be ministers and to spread the gospel
11:33 to the whole world."
11:34 And I've got one of your "Day With the Kings Bibles,"
11:38 and I've got a bookmark here and there is only one text
11:41 that mentions "Manaen," and it is from Acts 13:1.
11:47 Let me read it... "Now in the church that was at Antioch
11:50 there were certain prophets and teachers;
11:52 Barnabas, Simeon, Lucius and Manaen (then it says)
11:59 who had been brought up with
12:01 Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
12:04 And as they ministered to the Lord and fasted,
12:06 the Lord said, "Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul..."
12:09 And they fasted and prayed and they put their hands on them,
12:14 and ordained them to the gospel.
12:16 That little boy, who grew up in that awful home,
12:20 there is a lovely hymn that says, "Turn your eyes
12:24 upon Jesus," and he saw Jesus at His trial and he gave
12:29 his heart to Him and I'm really looking forward
12:32 to meeting Manaen in the Kingdom of Heaven, are you?
12:36 We're all going to be there, thank you boys and girls!
12:39 Come on in and join us for our Bible study!
12:42 Don't forget to grab your Bible, so you can follow along with us.
12:45 Aunty Cecily, can you please say a prayer
12:47 for us to open our study? Yes.
12:49 Dear Heavenly Father... Thank You for our Bibles,
12:52 and we just pray for the Holy Spirit to guide our minds
12:56 and give us understanding as we read from Your word.
13:00 And please bless the children who are joining us
13:03 from home. In Jesus name... Amen, Amen!
13:07 Abigail, do you remember what we studied about last Sabbath?
13:10 David and his sin with Bathsheba.
13:13 Yes, we know that David repented and God forgave him,
13:16 but God could not take away the consequences of David's sin,
13:20 and that is what we're going to study about today
13:22 because it particularly affected his children.
13:25 Okay Erin, you're going to begin our study with
13:28 2 Samuel 12:24-25.
13:32 "Then David comforted Bathsheba, his wife, and went into her
13:37 and lay with her, so she bore a son and he called
13:41 his name "Solomon."
13:43 Now the Lord loved him, and He sent word by the
13:46 hand of Nathan the prophet;
13:47 so he called his name Jedidiah because of the Lord."
13:52 So even though there was great controversy
13:55 surrounding Solomon's birth, God loved him,
13:59 and he was given a special name by God, "Jedidiah,"
14:03 which means "beloved by the Lord."
14:05 You know what? God is so good!
14:07 Now because David had lots of children from different
14:10 wives, the children were always in conflict with one another.
14:14 The Bible tells us that Amnon did a great wrong against his
14:19 stepsister Tamar and Absalom killed his stepbrother Ammon
14:23 for what he did.
14:24 Can you remember last Sabbath, we read about David
14:26 pronouncing his own judgment by saying the
14:28 wrongdoer should pay fourfold...
14:31 well this prophesy that David would lose four of his sons
14:35 to death; the first was Bathsheba's first child,
14:38 and now the second was Amnon.
14:40 Abigail, can you read 2 Samuel 13:37 and 39.
14:46 "But Absalom fled and fled to Talmai, the son of
14:49 Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his
14:52 son every day.
14:53 And King David longed to see Absalom for he had
14:56 been comforted concerning Amnon, because he was dead."
15:00 Thanks Abigail.
15:01 Absalom fled to Geshur and stayed with King Talmai,
15:05 who was actually his grandfather,
15:07 and stayed there 3 years.
15:09 Can you show us where the area "Geshur" is?
15:11 Thank you Aunty Cecily.
15:13 After David had mourned the loss of Amnon,
15:15 he longed to make amends with Absalom.
15:19 Joab, who was David's commander, wanted to help
15:21 with reuniting David and Absalom; this he did and
15:25 David agreed to bring his son back from exile,
15:29 but he was not allowed to speak to his father.
15:31 Bethany, can you read 2 Samuel 14:25-26? Yes.
15:37 "Now in all Israel there was no one who was praised
15:41 as much as Absalom for his good looks.
15:43 From the sole of his foot to the crown of his head
15:46 there was no blemish in him.
15:48 And when he cut the hair of his head, at the end of
15:50 every year, he cut it because it was heavy on him,
15:53 when he cut it, he weighed the hair of his head at
15:56 200 shekels according to the king's standard."
15:59 So Absalom was known for his good looks and beautiful hair.
16:04 Now since being back in Jerusalem, Absalom had not
16:08 seen his father for 2 years.
16:09 If you add up the three years he was in exile,
16:12 he had not seen his father for 5 years... this Absalom
16:16 was getting tired of and demanded to speak to Joab,
16:19 David's commander to find out why.
16:22 Sophie, can you read 2 Samuel 14:33.
16:26 "So Joab went to the king and told him, and when he had
16:29 called for Absalom, he came to the king and bowed
16:32 himself on his face to the ground before the king.
16:35 Then the king kissed Absalom." Thanks Sophie.
16:38 Finally reconciliation happened, but on Absalom's
16:41 part was only superficial.
16:44 He had become bitter and was working out ways
16:47 he could overthrow his father.
16:49 Absalom started standing at the main entrance of Jerusalem.
16:53 Let's see what he would say.
16:54 Matthew, can you read 2 Samuel 15:4-6.
16:59 "Moreover Absalom would say, "Oh, that I were made
17:02 judge in the land, and everyone who has any suit
17:05 or cause would come to me; then I would give him justice.
17:09 And so it was, whenever anyone came near to bow down
17:13 to say that, he would put his hand and take him and kiss him.
17:18 In this manner Absalom acted toward all Israel
17:22 who came to the king for judgment.
17:27 So Absalom stole the hearts of the
17:29 men of Israel." Thanks Matthew.
17:31 So, Absalom, unbeknown to his father,
17:34 was undermining David's leadership as king and telling
17:38 the people that, basically, he would do a better job.
17:42 Mia, can you read 2 Samuel 15:13-14.
17:46 "Now a messenger came to David saying, "The hearts of the men
17:50 of Israel are with Absalom."
17:53 So David said to all his servants who were with him
17:57 at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee, or we shall not escape
18:01 from Absalom.
18:03 Make haste to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly and
18:09 bring disaster upon us and strike the city
18:12 with the edge of the sword." Thanks Mia.
18:15 So with the threat of his own son in taking over his throne,
18:19 David left Jerusalem with his household and his army
18:23 so his beautiful city would not experience the ravages of war.
18:27 David mourned greatly that he had to leave Jerusalem.
18:31 David knew the reason his son was committing treason
18:35 against him - was the result of his sin with Bathsheba.
18:39 Okay, let's see where they go.
18:41 Aunty Cecily, can you read 2 Samuel 17:24.
18:46 "Then David went to Mahanaim and Absalom crossed over
18:50 the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him."
18:54 Okay, let's have a look on the map where Mahanaim is.
18:57 Aunty Cecily, can you please show us that?
18:59 We've looked at that city before.
19:01 So we just read that Absalom followed in pursuit
19:04 with his men and if we were to read on, the Bible tells us
19:06 that Absalom and his men lost the battle and Absalom died.
19:11 Absalom was David's third son to die in the prophecy.
19:15 The Bible tells us that after after this,
19:17 David returned to Jerusalem to continue his rule as king
19:20 over Israel - let's see what David gets up to next.
19:25 Erin, can you please read 1 Chronicles - we going over
19:29 to 1 Chronicles now... 1 Chronicles 21:2-3, please.
19:36 "So David said to Joab and to the leaders of the people,
19:40 "Go, number Israel from Beersheba to Dan,
19:43 and bring the number of them to me that I may know it.
19:47 And Joab answered, "May the Lord make His people a
19:50 hundred times more than they are.
19:52 But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants?
19:57 Why then does my lord inquire this thing?
20:00 Why should he be a cause of guilt in Israel?"
20:03 Oh dear! David wanted to follow the customs of what the
20:07 nations around him were doing.
20:09 Pride moved on his heart, even Joab, David's commander,
20:13 knew that they shouldn't do this thing.
20:16 Let's look at our torch light, Mrs. White's writings,
20:19 to see what they shine on these verses.
20:21 Abigail, can you please read that for us?
20:25 "The prosperity of Israel under David had been due to the
20:29 blessing of God rather than to the ability of her king
20:33 or strength of her armies, but increasing of the military
20:38 resources in the kingdom would give the impression of
20:42 surrounding nations that Israel's trust was in
20:45 her armies not in the power of Jehovah." Thanks Abigail.
20:48 God wanted the nation of Israel to depend on Him
20:52 to fight their battles.
20:53 He didn't want them to depend on the numbers of
20:56 their army, but David was insistent.
20:58 Bethany, can you read 1 Chronicles 21:7-8, please.
21:03 "And God was displeased with this thing;
21:06 therefore, He struck Israel.
21:08 So David said to God, "I have sinned greatly because I have
21:12 done this thing, but now I pray, take away the iniquity
21:17 of Your servant for I have done very foolishly."
21:20 Again David realized what he had done and repented.
21:24 God sent the prophet Gad to David and God gave David
21:28 three choices of punishment; either 3 years of famine,
21:32 3 months of war with his enemies, or 3 days
21:36 punishment from God."
21:38 Sophie, can you read 1 Chronicles 21:13.
21:42 "And David said to Gad, "I am in great distress.
21:46 Please let me fall into the hand of the Lord,
21:48 for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into
21:52 the hand of man."
21:53 So David decided that he would much rather receive
21:57 punishment from God than from man because he knew
22:00 God was more merciful.
22:02 Let's look at our memory verse in Ephesians 2:4,
22:07 and let's read that together.
22:11 Ya got that?
22:13 "But God who is rich in mercy because of His great love
22:18 with which He loved us..."
22:21 So because of God's great love for us,
22:23 He shows us great mercies.
22:25 Matthew, can you please read 1 Chronicles 21:14-16.
22:32 "So the Lord sent a plague upon Israel,
22:36 and 70,000 men of Israel fell.
22:39 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it.
22:42 As he was destroying, the Lord looked and relented
22:47 of the disaster, He said to the angel who was
22:50 destroy, "It is enough; now restrain your hand."
22:54 And the angel of the Lord stood by the threshing floor
22:58 of Ornan the Jebusite.
23:01 Then David lifted his eyes and saw the angel of the Lord
23:05 standing between earth and heaven, having in his hand
23:09 a drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem.
23:12 So David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth,
23:17 and fell on their faces." Thanks Matthew.
23:23 David was greatly humbled that 70,000
23:25 had died because of his sin.
23:28 God directed David to build an altar to God at the
23:31 threshing floor of Ornan and offered burnt offerings
23:35 and peace offerings to God.
23:37 This David did and God accepted the offerings
23:40 with fire from heaven.
23:41 We serve such a merciful God.
23:44 Thank you boys and girls for reading along with us.
23:46 We have a devotional available that goes into more depth
23:49 than what we studied today.
23:51 Here's how you can get that...

24:25 Thanks Kate and Dana!
24:27 Boys and girls, perhaps there's someone you can share
24:30 one of the devotionals with to help them understand
24:33 how much God loves them.
24:35 Aunty Net, can you tell us what we're going
24:36 to be studying about next week?
24:38 Yes, next Sabbath, we are going to study about a king
24:42 who asked for something special from God.
24:45 We look forward to studying that with you again next week.
24:47 Aunty Cecily, shall we go over the memory verse
24:49 we learned in our Bible study today? Yes.
24:51 Let's all say it together... Ephesians 2:4...
25:03 Well children, our worship time is almost over again.
25:08 Caleb, what did you learn about the king today?
25:11 That God wants us to ask Him if we need help.
25:15 Yes, He does.
25:16 God is always willing to help us.
25:18 Aunty Net, are we ready to sing our blessing song
25:21 to the girls and boys at home?
25:23 Yes, I think so - children can you turn around
25:26 so that we can sing our blessing song
25:27 to the children at home.
25:34 May God bless you and keep you,
25:39 and fill your heart with love.
25:44 May God guide and protect you,
25:49 and watch you from above.
25:55 And Sabbath after Sabbath,
26:00 we greet the Day of Rest.
26:05 The day the King of Glory
26:10 has sanctified and blessed.
26:15 Goodbye my friend till we meet again,
26:20 for another day with the King.
26:26 Goodbye! See you next Sabbath!
26:36 My favorite story in the Bible is about Jesus because
26:41 He loves children.
26:46 My favorite Bible story is David because of how
26:48 he trusted and had lots of faith in God
26:51 through all the tough times.
26:54 My favorite story is Ruth because she was brave
26:57 to follow Naomi to a foreign town.
