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.
Good morning boys and girls, so nice to see each and everyone here this morning.
Looks like we start a little bit early. I wasn't sure exactly what I was early or late, but I just we're a minute early, but that's OK because we want to sing some songs. We're going to leave it up to you to make the choices and I This is a nice hymn sheet. I don't know if I ever sang off a sheet like this. This looks.
Brand new, it says, let's sing about Jesus.
I like that.
But you know, we're here not to only sing about Jesus, but we are here to sing unto Jesus, to sing unto the Lord. And so as we sing these songs, let's think about that.
We're here singing about Jesus.
And we are here. We can sing.
To our parents, for our friends.
But most importantly, we're here to sing unto the Lord. So let's think about that while we sing these songs. Now, did I see a hand? Yes.
#16.
Salvation is a big word.
Salvation is a big word, but I am not too small.
The Savior comes in.
So.
I.
God is creating Lord Jesus.
Now let's remember we're singing unto the Lord, and he's listening, and you know children's praises. He liked his ear. He loves to hear the children singing unto him.
So we're on #16 the last verse. So salvation.
Or they shall never forget.
When they followed this amount, selfish or selfish?
Greetings or peace of life or standards?
I think we're off to a good start. Anybody else have a number? Now that was a boy. How about a girl? Do I have a girl that has a choice? Yes.
5 #5.
Around the throne of me.
00:05:12
Now.
Very nice. Who else has the number?
OK, now that was a girl, wasn't it? Yes, Simon.
Which one? Three. OK #3?
The message came from.
The union taste, my God no that way.
I am so.
Because.
So I don't know, she said. His son to die.
I am so glad being for others.
Boy, do we have another girl who has a choice? Yes #1.
Number one, this is a story song, a true story. Does anybody know where in the Bible we read this story, a true story that we're going to sing about? Anybody know? Yes, it's in the Gospels. That's good. Now can you be a little more specific? Do we know what book it's in?
Yes.
It's in Luke.
When you add 1 to 18, what you got?
18 + 119 That's right, Luke 19.
Little man by name of Zacchaeus wanted to see Jesus.
And he really wanted to see him. And so he was willing to climb up into a tree. And I hope that's why we're here today, because we want to see Jesus. There were some men, they were called Greeks, and they came up to a feast and they said we would see Jesus. They want to see Jesus, too.
Jesus was on their mind. Now what's on your mind?
Today.
Is it Jesus?
Jesus was on the mind of Zacchaeus, and so let's sing about Zacchaeus and what he did.
In order to see Jesus #1.
A certain man.
00:10:46
I'm going to suggest something.
And I'm not trying to.
Change the song, but where we live we add a line to the course.
Does anybody know the line that we add to the course?
OK, that's right. We add that line and.
That you're on your way to heaven. So maybe when we sing the rest of the song, when we come to the chorus, let's sing to know your sins are all forgiven and that you're on your way to heaven.
Is something more than gold. So #1 And I believe we're on verse 3.
He climbed.
In my neighborhood that blessed him. One minute I'll be in jail.
Let's say something or something, go to the lower decision.
And have to run your hands, you have something.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, something or something.
Like that anymore that will be.
One more song, let's do one more, and okay yes, which 119 all right #19.
What can wash away my sea?
00:15:06
Makes me cry.
That's a very nice human sheet. I like those songs and I trust you like them too.
Does anybody know an action song that we could sing? Might be nice to do an action song.
Let's just set this sheets aside for the moment. Action song, yes?
What's that one?
OK, how many know this one? I may never mark infantry. Now that's one that I do not know. So.
Would a two or three be willing to come up here and do the actions and help lead this song? Is there anybody that knows it well enough to come and help us out front?
OK, good. All right, we got one here. Anybody else we could use probably a couple more. In fact, anybody that wants to come up to the front and do the actions and help us sing this song, just come right on up, okay? If you really know the actions.
OK, now this feisty audience here.
Oh, this is.
I think this is a song that I should be knowing.
OK.
Now, boys and girls, I'm going to stand back here and I want you to do the actions. And who's going to start the song?
You started good. Here we go.
Into Calgary.
Yes, Sir.
I.
Thank you very much.
I really enjoyed that. That was good. Well, perhaps.
We're going to take time to pray and we're going to ask the Lord's help today. I believe He's helped us to sing the songs. Very nice. And now we'll ask him to help us with the rest of this.
Sunday School. So let's pray.
OK.
Who's going to say a verse today?
Do you have anybody that's say verse for us?
Well, I see a lot of hands caught, so let's see. I just will start here.
Jesus Christ by the will of God, smoking soul brothers.
From For the Saints and Faithful Brothers. Literate, Classy.
Grace the unto you and peace in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

There's no difference for something come short of the glory of God.
Romans.
3:22, 20/20/2023.
I need to inform you.
There is no difference with.
00:20:03
But all I asked him to come through as the glory of God. One minute 323. Thank you very much. You know, this little black box is amazing. He's talking to this little fox and everybody from here. I mean, this is a little box.
How much? 2322 and 22?
There is no different solace in the control of glass.
3/22/26.
There's there's, there's no difference.
Proverbs 15 and one before.
A soft dancer turns the way to rest. The greatest words stir up anger.
The terminates the wise uses knowledge right, but the mouse is the foolish. There are poised out foolishness. Guys with the Lord are in every place becoming the evil and also the good. A wholesome tongue is a tree of life. But perversioners, Darren is a breach in the spirit of 15-1 The 4th. Thank you very much, very good.
5362.
There is no difference for all soon to come short of the glory of God.
I also you want to OK.
There's no difference.
So I'll say come short.
Shot.
I know. I don't even know.
OK, so I will.
'S thank you very good.
22 and 23. There is no difference for all of control of the glory of God. Romans 322 and 23.
Common state Chinese children Chinese say there is no difference for all of human control of the gold 22 and 23.
Romans 322 and 23. There is no difference for all of sin and come short of the glory of God. Only 322 and 23. Romans 322 and 23 For there is no difference for all of sin to come short of the glory of God. Romans 322 and 23. Thank you very much.
Robbie 323 and 22 and 23. There is no difference for all of saved and come short of the glory of God. Romans 322 and 23. Thank you very much. That was lovely. Now anybody else that we're missing here?
OK, I guess I put this back on because you're supposed to be listening, but they're so nice to get the boys and girls like that.
Well, you know that there is no difference. Kind of depressing.
But you know, later on in Romans.
Those words are repeated, but this time it says there is no difference, for the same Lord over all is rich.
Unto all that call upon Him. And that's so wonderful to realize that no matter who you are, God wants to make you rich. He wants to bless you. He wants to save your soul. He wants to make you happy.
00:25:03
And he can, because he is a wonderful God. Now our time is running out, but I'm going to take time for this. It's not really the subject of the story I was going to tell you, but I'd like to do this. Who here thinks they can jump really well? Do we have anybody that can jump?
Anybody that's a high jumper?
OK.
Well, at least you're honest. It's a good thing.
One time I saw.
Three children and they said they could jump. They were high jumpers and so they got up in front.
And the man that was talking, he said, all right, I would like you to jump and touch the ceiling.
So the first one jump.
Quite high.
Never touch the ceiling, the second one jump never touch the ceiling and the third one jump never touch the ceiling. And there was one that jumped higher than all the rest but never touched the ceiling. And that made quite an impression on me to realize that there are people that are trying to get to heaven.
By their own efforts, by doing good.
Means are good deeds.
We can be thankful for good deeds, but they will never save your soul. We really need to look outside of ourselves and put our faith in the Lord Jesus. And he is the one that can say because the Bible says neither is there salvation in any other, yourself included. There's no other name under heaven given among men.
Whereby we must be saved. And that name is Jesus and he's given among the boys and girls and he is the one that we want to speak about here today. You're already saying about him now. We want to speak about him now last night.
Mr. House, he spoke about miracles.
And it was very good. He spoke about miracles that Jesus did in the book of Luke. And some of those miracles had to do with the healing of the body. And you know, loof was a what? You recall what he said last night. What was it?
Yes, he was a doctor, He was a medical doctor and so he recorded things that.
Often had to do with healing.
Now I'm thinking today.
About another miracle, and it's not recorded in any other gospel than the Gospel of Matthew because Matthew is one who collected taxes.
And this has to do with collecting taxes.
Is anybody have any idea what miracle I'm thinking about?
Well, I think we're going to turn to it in five, this is found.
In the book of Matthew.
Chapter 17.
Matthew, Chapter 17.
And verse 24.
It's a miracle.
And when I read this story, this is a true story, I say to myself.
I want to be.
Associated with the Lord Jesus, who could do something like this?
I want to be his friend because he's so wonderful that he can do something that nobody else can do. It's an impossibility for anybody else.
He can do it because of who he is.
00:30:00
He is Jesus, and you know the Lord Jesus, He performed many miracles, but He never did any miracles to make life easier for himself.
And that's something to think about. He could have had an easy life here in this world by doing miracles.
In order to make life easy, but rather than that.
We find that he was tired, he was hungry, he didn't even have a house to call his own, he said. The foxes that got the bins, the birds of the air, they got their nest. But the son of man, he has nowhere to lay his head.
And you know the word Jesus, it tells us that the death of Lazarus, he was weak, He wept, He chose to trouble himself in order to show to Mary and Martha and the others that were gathered there. They were in mourning and he wanted to sympathize with them. So I will say this.
Why is it that the Lord Jesus performed miracles?
Not to make life easy for himself.
What do you think?
Yeah, that's good to make life easier for others.
He had others on his mind.
First of all, he had his father on his mind. He could say I do always those things that please the father, but he also wanted to help others.
That was a good answer. And you know the word Jesus also, He did miracles so that people could see who he is, so that he could show his power and glory. And even though he did these impossible things as far as human.
Heart is concerned.
He's.
Love and he wanted those people for two years, not only man, but God.
You can go and get these states people rejected you. So I hope there's nobody in that category here today. So we're going to read this little story here and it says in verse 24, when they were some to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter and said.
That's not your master. Pay tribute. And he said yes.
Peter.
You wanted this master to appear as though he was like everybody else and he paid his taxes, his tribute.
But you know what? The Lord Jesus, He is different.
Than everybody else and I understand this tribute or this tax was a little bit of money that was collected in order to maintain the temple, which was the House of God in Jerusalem. And back in Exodus we read about how they were to give a half a shepherd. Now that's not a lot of money, but a half a shepherd.
And so this tribute was collected.
To help take care of the expenses of the temple.
Now it tells us here.
That Peter.
Went into the house so he answered the question without asking Jesus.
And he just sometimes need to talk off the top of his head and he said things that weren't really appropriate.
And I think we all fall into that category at times, you know, and say things that really we wish past we hadn't said.
But you know when he went into the house, it tells us here that the Lord Jesus.
Prevented or anticipated the movie is coming and he said what? Thank you S sign and the kings of the kings of the earthquake custom recidivism of their own children for a stranger.
The fact is.
The Lord Jesus.
Who owned the temple? You know in Matthew's Gospel we read about the Lord Jesus as.
00:35:02
Being in the King's son and for that reason, he didn't really have to pay anything. He didn't have to pay taxes, he didn't have to pay tribute.
But I think Peter wanted to appears, you know, it's good too, but.
Let's see what happens next.
Peter, he gave the correct answer.
And Jesus said, Whom did the kings of the earth take custom attribute of their own children?
Or strangers.
Peter said unto him of strangers.
Jesus said unto him, Then are the children 3.
What's the girl?
The word pizza.
Never had to pay tax. You never had to pay like everybody else because of who he was. But you know what? He paid it anyway.
Why did he pay it?
I think he paid it so that the other people, they wouldn't take offense if somebody that wasn't paying their taxes, somebody that was perhaps trying to take advantage of the people. You know, I understand the Queen of England and the Prince of Wales, there's taxes they they don't have to pay because of who they are.
But they pay tax anyway.
It's a voluntary thing, so.
That's the people.
Do not leave.
Queen, the Prince of Wales are taking advantage of that and I think it's very grateful how the Lord.
Here he says in verse 27, Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou.
Through the sea and casting hook and take up the fish that first.
Hummus up, and when thou has opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money that take and give unto them for me, and he's done.
This is the most unusual way to find money in order to pay tax.
But you know Peter.
He was a good fisherman and he knew a lot about fish.
And so.
The Lord told him to go and I we're going to do a little fishing here today.
So how many here you like to fish?
All right, 1230, here's a girl. Oh, he's thrilled. Like the kids, too. Oh, good, that girls. Oh, they like the kids. All right. Very good.
So I got to have somebody up here to go fishing.
Man.
Anybody want to try it?
OK, you're like, alright.
Look, this is coming along.
This is going all over the place, right?
It's a nice little thing, Yeah. Hopefully this.
00:40:06
There we go.
Almost got him almost done.
I don't know how long. I'll tell you one thing.
It was the first, yeah, OK.
Yeah, all the way up. Yeah, she caught it. I helped you back anyway.
Good job. Thank you very much. Oh, well, now here. You want to see if there's any money in this thing. Let's see.
Oh, there it is.
Right. Thank you very much. You did good job.
Now the Lord Jesus called Peter the.
Fish that comes is the fish for you, and it's exactly how he said it. And the Lord Jesus said there's going to be just enough money in that vicious mouth.
For me and for you to pay the tax and I believe it was a stator.
This happens to be a different. I'm not sure what side of the state it would be, but a stator is 2 shekels, shekels shekels.
Or I should say a stater is a shekel and a half shekel is a detractor. Please believe that's how that is so.
You know Peter.
Got the money, and of course I know he got the money. And there was money for Lord Jesus and for Peter and this Swami. Read this one more time.
Let me see how kind of stuff.
The Lord Jesus said to Peter in verse 27, Thou shalt find a piece of money that take and give unto them for me and Dee.
So the Lord Jesus associated Peter with himself and Peter.
He relied on the board. Now you know if there's been $1,000,000.
In the fishes mouth, what do you think Peter might have done?
Peter might have said, well, I think I'm going to go have a good time. I live my life away, please. I got $1,000,000. I do whatever I like, but it wasn't that way.
It was just enough for that particular need. And you know, that's how the Lord Jesus works. Sometimes we wish that we just had a huge accumulation of wealth so we don't have to worry about it tomorrow. So we're not supposed to worry about tomorrow because the fact is.
Lord Jesus supplies our need one day at a time, OK? So remember that. And He wants us to stay in dependence on Him.
And he will provide, so may the Lord bless His word.
That's what I had in my heart today and I see our time is up now, boys and girls. I cross something in this style and what this is something you can put into the water and these are.
A lot of them are fish.
You might find something that don't look like fish. That's a starfish, so fish.
You know what you say, right? You put them in water and they expand, says they'll go up to 600% of the original size. And when you take them out of the water, they print that the original size. So they're pretty neat. But everyone of these have to do with the sea. And I tell you, I was blown away as I begin to consider what's happening under the water.
You don't see that I live close to the ocean like you know, the psalmist said. They that go down.
00:45:00
To the sea and they do business in equalities. I guess the exact word is that these are the ones that see the works of the world.
Danny's wonders in the deep knowing quote their quote right. I believe the Psalm 107. But I tell you what you start reading about some of these creatures. I guess they absolutely amazing what's going on under the water. You know where we live we're not far from the Bay of funding and they get these what they call weird and it's like a big trap and the hearing come swimming by schools into.
Weird.
Kidnapped, then it both comes with a suction hose and this sucks. And right out there you've taken the market. Well, I understand there could be up to 3 billion.
Hearing in a school, you might say, how can they count like that? Well, they don't count them all like that. They just figure how many are in the area and they know the density and so on and so forth. They calculate this.
Over in a Caspian Sea.
There I understand.
We've seen schools one after another, not hearing but mullet 60 miles long, this huge schools. Well, you know, God is over all these ones that pass through the sea. Yes, it controls the fish and he was able to control that little fish right over to where Peter was and.
I crossed poison girls that this is the one.
So you have come to know that you're safe, because on the cross he gave his life. He shed his precious blood.
In order to change your sins and loves you, He wants you.
Decide to begin with, he wants you to trust him and we speak of his power and glory and creation and look at the cross. We see his lob pulled out. It's so wonderful. Why would anybody inject the Lord Jesus? I do. I feel so sad to think that there are many in the world tonight. I could say this morning.
That are without Christ and they're just groping their way in the darkness.
Not happy.
Pleasures of sin only for a small time, but Jesus is the one that can satisfy the time and eternity saved and satisfied. So let's just pray.
