Come Down

Children—Cecil Roossinck
DISCLAIMER: The following has been auto-transcribed. We hope it will help you to find the section of this audio file you are looking for.
I'm going to get you there.
Oh, maybe there's a switch here?
Well, it's all right. It doesn't work. We can.
OK, who, like, give out the first song? Wow.
Last time I opened Sunday school, I had to. Nobody put up their hand and so I had to skip the first one. We had to start with second one. I think we better start with a girl, don't you? You tell us what song.
27.
That doesn't seem to work. That's all right, 27 it is.
27.
Don't forget to check the Backpage because there's some real nice ones back there.
27.
OK, what if we sing the first and last verse? Then we'll get more people to choose. Is that OK? 27, verse one and verse 6.
My God, I have found the worst blessed, blessed Christ, where life and life, and where life, and where joy, and where joy and joy and drew and true.
Verse 6.
Lord.
Waving my heart.
By the glory.
Boy.
You make it so hard for me to choose this side of the rooms. We're going to get a boy from the front. Get this young lad here, Yeah, Number six. Did you hear it, #6?
All righty.
So we get a lot of numbers versus one of the Force. I don't know any verses one and four.
God and mercy and his heart to the Lord.
00:05:19
We are going to sing some more, but before we do, let's just ask the Lord to help us. We need His help even with the same, so let's.
Bow our heads and have a little talk with the Lord Jesus for joining Father.
Dear loving God, our Father.
We give thanks this morning for the one who died for sinners, one who we've been saying about the Lord Jesus Christ. Lord, we pray that this morning he may be exalted and we may be.
Humbled.
We know, Lord, that thy desire is to save and to bless. And we pray for every boy, and we pray for every girl. That's here this morning. May they see never before may they see the need of the Lord Jesus and just receive him by faith in their hearts. We ask Thy help and wisdom. Pray for Thy word wherever it's told forth this morning.
Give thanks in Jesus precious and worthy name. Amen.
Oh, I think we'll have two more songs and then we're going to see if anybody has a memory verse. And it must be a girl's turn this time. So do we have a girl who has a song?
There's a girl, 41.
Sounded good and clear 41.
I was hopefully getting this Backpage because I was planning on saying we're going to sing until we've had at least two from the Backpage and we could be singing all morning. So hearing one from the back, page 41.
All around the throne of God.
Children. December. All four. Goodness.
Glory, glory. Glory. Glory.
Of our mind enjoying worlds upon this way, this one will be our name.
Will it everlasting light and joy with my heavens?
Glory. Glory. Glory.
In the fall.
What brings unto that world I'll never know, so brightly I can bear.
Where I'll be peace and joy as long as the children.
They're seeing glory.
Glory. Glory.
To God.
Because I say yours and it's like super go away.
It's no one anywhere, was president. What? Behold, and why let me?
Say glory, glory, glory.
Good. We're going to have one more than I hope somebody's ready to say their memory verse.
Is a boy and we've got to go back to this **** roll.
#40 #40 There's our second one from the Backpage, so we can feel free to stop saying anytime. Thanks.
Jesus loves me. This I know.
00:10:00
And we sing the first verse, of course.
We're going to stop and we're going to find out how to do some actions on the course after the first, let's say first person. Of course first. Jesus loves me to sign it over.
To live here, everybody is strong.
Somebody.
Already caught on though it's coming next when we get to the course. I thought it'd be fun if if we could try to do it like a deaf person would do. Didn't know how to speak, what they could see. So when we get to the course, it's yes, just like their hand is saying yes and Jesus has veil plains. Jesus is like this and loves, I believe his heart. Thee yes.
Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me. And I some of you probably knows better than me, so I probably get some wrong. But he can break me out. And then.
The Bible is Jesus book so.
They'll print the book, the Bible tells me. So you think you can do that? We'll try it together and see how we do on the course. So here's the second personal Jesus.
Life filled down with my life, in my wash, our way, my sins.
Jesus.
Christ, every heart.
Failure slides me.
Here Jesus fuzzy.
There was the 4th verse. Now I was just going to say try to get this straight because when we get the fifth verse, we're all going to make health and we can't hear, so nobody's going to sing a word. So try to remember what we have to do. We'll make out if we're just talking with our hands and not our lips.
But we'll get one more chance to practice on the 4th verse. Jesus.
No, this is the hard part.
Sing the birds When we get to the course. We don't want to hear anybody singing, but we want to see everybody sing. We'll be able to see everybody singing grown-ups as well as Doctor Kirsten.
But a lot of people saw.
Dead side. Hey, let's see what we can do. Jesus.
Must be all.
00:15:10
It will Take Me Home on time.
Very good.
That was very clear.
Everybody glad to hear. I mean, see, very nice. Now, I said. After that song, we're going to see if anybody has a person. I got to admit, I don't know what the verse is for this week.
I was staying over at Nelson. He didn't know reversal there.
So nobody could tell me what the first was.
But I hope somebody knows it, because I'd like to find out what it is.
It will help me out like.
You'd like to start, would you say it in here for me? OK, just come on up here, hold this in your handset right into that mic. So I.
OK.
Thank you, I can't help.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them and they follow me.
And they give unto them eternal life, and they never perish.
And now unplugs them out of my hand.
John 1027 and 28 That was a long one, and I'm glad you knew it. Now everybody knows what the verse is because of the time is kind of short. We're just going to have one more say it and maybe, Oh my, look at all the hands. I'll tell you what we will do. We'll have one more set and we'll all say it together. Would you like to say it more? My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me. And I give unto the eternal life and neither.
Shall any perish? Neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. Jonathan 2728. Very good. Thank you very much.
Now let's all say it together so nobody feels that they're left out. Okay, you want to leave us, you start us out.
You hear my voice.
Me and I give unto them eternal blindness.
They shall never perish either, shall any man pluck them out of my hand. John, 1027 and 28 Very good. I didn't do very good on that with myself. I remember a couple of years ago when I was a Grand Rapids I.
He asked the boys and girls who wanted to save the version first. Of course, one or two.
First young Cameron, he said the verse first and he did a good job of can't even tell what the verse was now, but it was a verse that the Lord Jesus said when he was down here. So after they said their verses, I was talking a little bit about it and I said no.
Who said that? I was thinking that, the Lord said. When he was here, Cameron's hand shot up and destroyed the way I said.
Kevin who said that? I did. He said, well, he was right. He just said so all I said I.
Good. You did say it yesterday, but I was thinking, who said it first?
So I was thinking.
Way back. Like, who said it first? Cameron's hand shot.
Well, he was right again. That is perfect. Nice to be anxious, isn't it too, to quote the word. I hope that you boys and girls always love both God's precious word. What a wonderful book.
Well.
There's a there's a verse in the void of it.
And it's in Luke chapter 19.
The verse is the story. We're not going to read the whole story because Titus is a little short.
00:20:03
Somebody.
Let's go by that spot there.
Anyway, Group 19, and I think some of you boys and girls probably already know the story in June 19. If you do put up your hands, what's the story in week 19? Anybody 12, 19.
That is exactly right. You're you're good.
No pain. And I'm not going to read the whole story. I only want one verse.
Luke 19.
And verse 5.
There's really 5 words in that verse that I want to talk about, but I'd like to some boy read the whole verse. Or Route 5, Route 19, Verse 5. All right. Would you read for us?
Here we can hear you clear.
And when Jesus came to the palace, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, Make haste, and come down for.
Today I must abide at thy house. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Make haste and come down, both of the words that I was thinking about. Where was that kiss when he heard those words?
He was in a tree. He thought it would be better for him to get up a little higher. And we all tend to think that, you know, we want to, we want to get ourselves up, want to get ourselves up higher.
But the Lord said to Zacchaeus, Zacchaeus, hurry up and come down.
I need to come down. No, that's a little word that I think all of us could learn something from. Make haste and come down, you know, at school. That's how you did.
Make something of yourself. Get up there in that tree.
Flying the ladder and be somebody and be a big hero. Make something of yourself, Lord saying to you this morning.
Make haste and come down.
Haste down, tell us that the next chapter, or the chapter before everyone, that is, all of themselves, shall be a base. He is humblest himself shall be installed.
No, I believe boys and girls.
That's very important. Just the opposite of what you learn in school, just the opposite of what you learn in the world. The Lord Jesus says you humble yourself.
You'll be exhausted. So that is you lying down to that tree. And of course you want to get a good views. That's nice. I'm. I'm still a boy at heart and I always love to climb trees. Don't find so many anymore. You should do. But I've always liked to climb trees. How many boys like to climb trees? Girls don't climb trees, do they?
How many girls like flying trees?
My girl like, the girls like it is fun to find trees that is climbing the tree. But the Lord told me get down out of it. I've been.
Back to four. Two. Somebody else's Lumbery. Well, I don't think the Lord said it that way, that is.
Lord knew just where he was. You want the blessing before you bless him and he comes out.
No, that's not the way that we naturally think. We think we want to get ahead in this world. We want to get a blessing. We want to get something for ourselves. We've got to make an effort and we got to climb, get over to climb the corporate ladder, big wheel.
Well.
The Lord said that he has come down because.
No, that's the way of blessing. Now there was another man in the Bible, in the Old Testament. We won't take time to turn to the second five. And he wanted blessing. And he came with a on a great big cherry of horses servings and he had gold and silver and changes of rain and all these things. He was way up. He was he was an important man.
00:25:22
And you got the message from God's father was.
Drop a little higher, work a little higher, you'll make the top.
What was the message? What did the prophet say to Damon?
Anybody have an ID word? Somebody. Yeah. What was?
You are exactly like go wash in Jordan. Good for you and.
Did name and say, oh, sounds a good plan? I think I'll know it definitely.
This dog.
Yeah, he was looking for some great thing to happen. He thought this prophet had come out and he'd strike his hand into the police and see some wonderful magic words and oh boy, he was just like some wonderful event. The prophet just sent a survey out and said.
Write down Jordan, the river Jordan 30 over.
He was real happy about that one. Oh, yes, Sir, I'm going right away. Didn't say that he was angry, he said. The whole life, that's a trouble.
Thank you. Thank you. Always stay wrong unless thoughts come from God's word. So amazingly went away. And wait, he didn't want to go down. He he was a man in Houston going up. He had probably had stripes, badges, all that was a great warrior. He had worked his way to the very top of the stereotype.
Outcomes the message.
In all the boys and girls you're going to go on to be with the Lord and glory, thank you.
That's repenting.
Oh, the Apostle Paul. He preached two things, 2920.
Was struggling hard to get to the top. Maybe you get a degree in your name. Always, always the first thing. Two things, Paul briefed. And maybe we'd have to ask somebody over.
The first one was repentance.
For God, that's going down.
That's going down saying yes forums.
That's what the Lord is saying is that he's come down, vacation, come down. The Lord would save your heart and mind you not say He says make haste, make haste and come down.
World say work harder to go up.
8 You ever been in Jesus feet? That's the place.
Jesus, come down.
Heading toward my face and what I can do with my strength and my power.
In our Lord Jesus Christ.
You ever ask the Lord Jesus?
Well, it's a wonderful thing.
Come down. Come down to Jesus feet and your sins. That's good. Thank you.
And.
Many man exalt himself.
I love you. Humble yourself.
Hector Vital says unless you come as a little child, you're not enter the Kingdom of God.
00:30:01
And now Jesus? He ever asked the Lord Jesus.
Oh, you're a Sinner and you want to be safe? Oh, he'll live God when he comes.
Just talking about before the Sunday school started to help quickly.
In the 21 I think the floor he was the Lord, Lord.
The Lord Savior to John.
In the Book of Revelation said Come up, hit her, come up, hit her. Well, that's what I'm waiting for.
The Lord Jesus is going to say to every boy and girl who sins are washed away those who've gone down at Jesus feet.
As a Sinner received his salvation saying come up in there.
Take us home with glory. But a wonderful, wonderful time that would be to be with the Lord Jesus. You know when I was a boy, I like to, I like to climb. I see the time has passed. I'm going to tell you a little story. Anyway, it's OK. Forgiven. I hope? I think so. Anyway, when I was a small boy and I can't even remember this I was so small with my dad and mom told me quite a few times and.
I I like to climb. I was I was still in diapers just barely toddler. And we had a leak in the roof in our house and my dad got the ladder out of two-story house, got the ladder out against the roof, way up on the roof fixing the roof. And as he was working on the roof he saw a little head come over with the edge of the roof.
It was me. I wanted to get up. I didn't like this business if I was going down.
I like to go on. So it's a little tiny toddler. I managed up that ladder two-story time and my head beeped over the edge of that roof. My dad got a little excited.
But he didn't tell me to make haste and get down, because he was right there and he took me down anyway. Let's be willing to go down. What a wonderful savior we have who wants to bring us up to glory.
If we're willing to go down at his feet.
Forgive our sins. Give us new life and take us home. Then we'll really go up, He was. The Lord needs us and you bend down so that you can go up.
There's a lot more in the Bible about going down.
Too. But our time is gone. Maybe we can sing one more quick little song before we close your prayer. OK. Did we have a boy last or a girl? I think we had a boy last. So is there another girl that would like a song? Oh, boy. We got lots of boys and boys. Remember the girls here? I'm going to have to look a little farther back to find the girl. Are you a girl? I thought you were a boy. Oh, well, OK. Maybe we'll have to have a boy after all. All these boys got to be a short one. Well, short enough. Do you have one yet?
What one would you like?
Probably just say one verse 46. Thank you 46.
Oh, it's only one verse long, so we'll sing the 1St and the last.
Day as you as I come to you as a.
Let's just pray.
Loving God, our Father.
So we look up and down these rows, we see.
Bright, happy boys and girls. But we don't know, Lord, which ones in these roles are have been down with thy feet.
And had their sins forgiven.
00:35:02
All orders. If there's any here this morning who are still in their own efforts seeking to climb to exalt themselves, may they be a beast, and may they find the Savior.
And be ready to be taken up to the heights of glory. In that moment when the Savior comes, we ask thy blessing. We commend the remainder of the day, and to Thy loving hands, giving thanks and Jesus most worthy and precious name. Amen.
Thank you.
Good morning. I'd like.
To ask you to pass your hem sheets to the two center aisles here so we can pick them up easily. And I don't see the Sunday School papers here yet, but oh, there they are. Put them on the table and you can come get your own papers.
Pair of glasses here was found, so I'll set them on the table here. Or maybe I'll keep them. You can come get them from me.
The next meeting is the breaking of bread at 10:30. I would like to ask that you please try to be seated in about 12 minutes. Start taking your seats in time. There are some refreshments in the cafeteria right now to some coffee and.
