Children—Andy Buchanan and Wally Dear
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.
School back where I live, and so if you're not familiar with it, the children's songs are the ones on the back. But you know.
Umm, there's favorites all through here, so we can sing any of them, but let's start by singing something, uh, to start the Sunday school here.
Does anybody have a favorite?
And if you don't know the number, that's OK, because we might know it if you just tell us the name of the song or what it's about.
You know, I see a little boy up here in the front row. There's a song on the back sheet that's a favorite. I think I enjoyed it when I was a boy. Maybe there's other boys here that like it too #44 is about a boy that's dying here. Maybe we'll sing that 1 #44.
Salvation Story.
Of the children of men, nobody ever has told me before.
No worries. Yeah, I've heard that story. I know.
Again, no way it's not again.
Foundation. Sorry before I go.
And say I'm not children of men.
Nobody ever had so many people.
OK, I said there would be a story, and so here's one that happened just today.
I got in the car this morning. I come here to Sunday school and the person that is, uh, that would typically be standing up here having the Sunday school had already left and we got onto I-25 heading South. They come down to the Sunday school today.
And I saw a sign, it caught my attention and said I-25 closed the head. And just then my phone rang and it was the car that had left ahead of us. And they said we're stuck. We're stuck in traffic.
And I said you better be careful, you better get off here and take this next exit and go down a different road and umm, cut around this.
This highway is closed.
And so my wife looked on her phone after that conversation, and she found that earlier today, somebody was driving on that road and there was an accident and somebody died. You know, it made me think of that verse that says that tells us that we don't know what a day is going to bring forth. We don't know what's going to happen today.
00:05:01
And so it's so important to listen in Sunday school because.
These songs and the verses that we learn, they tell us how we can be saved and how we can be right with God. And so that if that had been you in that car, you would have gone to be with the Lord Jesus. And so we need to be ready. And so boys and girls, here is the story of a boy who was dying and he wanted to be ready. And so I hope you're ready. And I look around the room and I think probably most people in this.
Are ready, but it's a good reminder that we need to be ready in case that's you.
OK, who else has a song? All right.
25.
Fits in really well.
Nsnoise.
Nsnoise.
Umm, if we bring you on your way, you may find no offering yours and your card is not delayed.
Enterprise details today.
In my.
Uh, it is gliding 25 and then challenge may fall on our King of Swan *** flowing time.
All my gratitude count, the cold air in the face of the light may grow, and your priceless soul belongs.
Nsnoise.
Enterprise Nsnoise.
Umm, from darkness and to the highway I'm no way. Let's see the flow.
Oh man, start by having tonight.
Beginning time.
Midnight.
World of life and you have called to be in time.
Inventing along your ways, you may find no open day.
00:10:05
8:00 PM.
OK, good. That was another good song about being ready, being in time. You know, we don't know how much time we have. And so that I don't even, I don't even know if it was a boy or a girl that passed away on the highway or driver. But you know what? I don't think that person started out their day thinking that today would be their last day.
Or the last chance to be saved. You know, this could be the last Sunday school that you get to listen to.
And so it's important to be ready to be in time. It says now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the day of salvation. And so it's important to the Lord. And so it should be important to us to realize it now is is the is the right time to be ready. OK, who else has a song?
Do you have a song? Would you like to sing a song? No. All right.
Kinda tight here. Umm, you know, maybe we should stretch a little bit. Umm, do we all know why? Why does the ocean? That's a good one, kind of wake up in the morning, right? So let's, let's sing that one.
Why? Why did I say hello?
I am having the time of the hit the sink in my.
Or his voice did just be in the heart. And his mother of 3006 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Isn't that wonderful? The Lord's love reaches us everywhere. There's no place we can go where the Lord can't love us. OK, who else has a song? It can be from your sheet or one that you know from your Sunday school that you normally sing.
I don't wanna forget so many, OK?
Oh, you tricked me twice, OK.
That's a favorite. Very good.
There once was a wildlife.
He had to be sighted a tree and Jesus was thinking about him. He said go and bring him to me and waste layer brought him to Jesus.
And Craig, we have never taken.
10-4 10-4 10-4 10-4 oh 10-4 10-4 10-4 1 10-4 10-4 10 10-4 10-4 0100. 10-4 10-4 oh 10-4 10-4 10-4 100000 oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 10-4 100 10-4 oh 10-4 0010010 oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 10-4 0600. 10-4 oh 10-4 oh 10-4.
When Jesus was on Friday upon him, he went just the way that he should.
Uh, why? Submissive Lee Donkey makes no I love what I don't know God.
And Jesus is able to make you.
Whatever he wants you to be.
He until I want to go to you and make you look happy and free.
Now, we started off by saying we need to be prepared because we don't know today is gonna bring forth, right. But you know, it's more than that. We're just saying about the Lord Jesus being able to have that little donkey go the right direction. We talked a little bit about that yesterday, didn't we? If you were here about the Lord Jesus being able to make a donkey to go the right direction. You know, I think almost every time I hear that song, I think about when I was in school.
Time ago, about 100 years ago or so, uh, we had at our school, oh, every few, every few years there would be a company that would come in and they bring in a bunch of donkeys. And the idea was that the students would be on one team, the teachers would be on another team, and they play basketball by riding the donkeys. You had to be on the donkey to shoot the ball.
00:15:07
Or to throw it to the next guy. And so if you can imagine these trying to pull the donkey this way and other people are trying to get behind and push the donkey to the other side.
And it's they don't go where you want them to go.
And they're just like me, and probably even you.
We don't wanna go the right direction, but you know, the Lord Jesus can help us to go the right direction. And he loves you. Isn't that wonderful? He loves you and He wants to see you grow up into the man or the woman that He has in mind for you to be and to go the right direction. And He can do that. OK, who else has a song?
34 Thank you.
Nsnoise all thrives in a.
1000 and now I'm gonna drink a lot of currency.
Hey, I'm tired and I'm glad he'd been by the glow.
Maybe so I don't, right? I don't know.
Why you have no?
Heart of Jesus.
Ever.
Oh believe me, 03 is being left.
OK, we'll sing another song here in a minute. But while we're singing about it, singing the next song, I want you to think about if you would like to share a memory verse. It could be any verse. Umm, sometimes at a conference, maybe you don't wanna, maybe you wanna share verse that you're very familiar with.
Umm, and you know what everybody likes to hear when somebody wants to share a memory verse?
So think of one and uh, we'll sing another song. Who's got another song they'd like to sing?
44 OK.
Well, we can, umm, do another song, maybe 3939. Thank you.
Umm, brilliant. That's all related to.
Everything, uh, great. Thank you God and prayer.
Oh my, good clean out and.
For blood.
Oh my God. Penguins. Penguins.
I want it from the middle of the earth, shaking it in and great. Thank you God in prayer.
Retirement.
Design and that travel and you were.
00:20:15
Nsnoise.
OK umm uh, where we are, umm, rolling around.
The Tankers and you're still Mara Deewsbury and $2000 in prayer.
S Do you like rented by sports for staying safe?
Rain get through the morning pray and long till day and the day and she'll take and cheer in chilled me out or whatever my grilled soul lentils and then I'm going to be.
I think that's a good spot to, umm, just, let's stop for just a minute and ask the Lord Jesus to help us with, uh, the rest of Sunday school here, OK?
Dear Lord Jesus, thank you so much for dying on the cross for our sins. Thank you so much for making it possible for boys and girls.
Daddies and mommies, older ones, to be able to, uh, have peace with God.
Thank you so much that Your love reaches us everywhere as we could sing, and that You are able to take us as wild little donkeys and help us to go the right direction. And so now, Lord Jesus, we just ask that you would help us with the Sunday school. We ask for help if any of these boys and girls would like the same memory verse that you would help them to say it.
And we just pray that you would guide through the Sunday school. We just asked for help in Jesus name, Amen.
And it looks like.
My relief is here, so I'm gonna turn this over to, uh, Mr. Dear, although it looks like maybe, uh, we still have time to do verses. So did anybody wanna say a verse?
You wanna say a verse? If you wanna say a verse, come on up.
Actually, I think my cord will reach you wanna go first?
And it was always hard to get that first word. And I'm not sure what verse you're saying. So maybe Dad can help you out.
Psalm 18. Two.
My Lord is my rock in my fortress and my river, my God, my stink in him I will trust.
Very good. Thank you.
Uh, did you wanna come up next?
I know it gets makes you shy when you have the microphone in your face, doesn't it? OK, you want to try.
So.
The what?
Is my lock.
My flatulence.
And whom are you test?
Psalm 18 Two. That's really good. Does anybody else wanna try either of you girls?
MMM, the Lord is my.
Rock in my fortress, my God, in whom I'll trust some.
1820, that's great. Thank you. You wanna try?
718 two.
God is my work in my foot.
Well, that's, that's OK. Good job. I I'm glad you can remember where it's found. That's the hardest part for me.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress, my deliverer and my strength, and whom I will trust. Psalms 18 Two. Very good. Thank you. Anybody done? Oh, good. OK.
00:25:06
Where does my rock and my fortress and I deliver my God, my strength, and whom I will trust? Psalm 18 Two excellent. Anybody else?
OK.
I think, uh, gonna hand it over to Mr. Deer here.
Thank you very much.
Does Mr. Buchanan make a good pinch hitter?
Well that was so good to hear you boys and girls.
Learning your verse, saying it by memory, that's great. And I was thinking this morning.
How the Lord?
He gives us so many good things to enjoy.
Every day and.
This morning.
I was thinking that maybe we could talk a little bit about gifts.
How many here like gifts?
Whoa, I see almost every hand up. We all like gifts, don't we?
Well, you know what?
The Lord gave me something this morning.
And it was kind of a different type of a gift.
But according to the word of God, it was a gift.
You see, we were coming down I-25 to come to this Sunday school and all of a sudden the traffic.
Ground to.
Halt.
Now, are we in big trouble? Because, you know, I was asked to take the Sunday school here today.
And the highway is closed and there was so much traffic on the highway, big, huge trucks.
And cars and SUVs.
Well, we thought to ourselves, what are we gonna do?
Well, we had a good chauffeur and we had to get off the highway and of course we were delayed. But before we got off the highway we thought maybe it would be good to pray about this.
And maybe the.
Highway would open up and you know what it says?
In the Bible, in Psalm 55 and verse 22, it says this cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee. And when I looked in the little margin in my Bible.
I saw that for the word burden, it said gift.
Gift and so.
This difficult situation.
Was really a gift from God.
And sometimes that's the way it works, boys and girls, you know, the difficult times in our lives that we would like to try to avoid.
Are really times when the Lord wants to do us good and it's like a gift. Well, we're thankful that Mister Buchanan was able to open the Sunday school and I would have been happy to sit and to listen to what he had to say because I know it would have been good. But I think he was trying to be kind to me because I did have a few things to show you boys and girls and the first thing.
I have here in this bag.
Is a couple of these I'm.
Gonna have a hard time holding this so I'm gonna try to speak up.
Now how many brought these to the Sunday School?
Good.
That that you brought yours.
00:30:02
Oh yeah, you can. Oh, yeah, they're there. OK, Everybody has a set of these, right? And so do I. Now, you know, boys and girls, even be though we have a set of ears for a pair of ears.
Doesn't necessarily mean that we are hearing what's being said.
And that's why the Lord Jesus many times he said, he who has ears.
Let him hear.
She who has ears, let her hear.
Boys and girls, are you listening? Today's God is speaking through His Word. He has something to tell you.
And I hope that your ears are open. You know at least seven times in Revelation 2 and three we have these words. He that hath an ear, let him hear.
Seven times over.
And I have a brother.
Shortest to one syllable. He called me Wall.
These are kids of God.
God gives boys and girls ears to hear.
And how wonderful that is.
Did you know that?
A hearing ear and a believing heart.
But.
And boys and girls.
This is a wonderful gift from God. How many here like to open presents?
Well, not even the children, but the older ones too. All of us, we like to open gifts, right? It's a fun time. And when we go to a birthday party?
And one of the happy, fun times about a birthday is opening up all these presents. Now I got a gift.
00:35:27
$100.
But before we do this.
But then.
We come again and open the Bible now. Last night we had our Bibles open.
Now that's a beautiful verse. Psalm 18 and verse 2.
Psalm 18 verse 2. The Lord is my rock.
If we're on the rock, we're on a solid foundation. The foolish man, he built his house on stand. What happened when the storm came? Can you tell me?
Not at work.
Every good and perfect gift he comes down from the Father's life comes down from the Lord. What a wonderful Lord we have to speak a wonderful God.
00:40:06
God keeps the earth in perfect orbit around the sun so that we can have Sunday school.
So I'm going to pass out.
Go on.
All right. Oh, I'm sorry.
Now, does everybody like the bag of money?
And it goes back to the Federal Reserve. And every so often they check money, they scan it and if it's.
5 dollars 3.8 years, 10 dollars 3.6 years $20 bill. 6.7 years, $50.00 bill. 9.6 years and $100 bill.
Well, boys and girls, is what you got in these money bags.
Proverbs, chapter 8.
17 Proverbs 817 I love them that love me, and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honor are with me, ye durable riches and righteousness.
To understand and enjoy.
00:45:45
Stop.
A $100. Anybody be willing to buy this for $100?
$10.
Jesus paid the price himself to sacrifice on the cross for me. Jesus paid the price so that you and I, we could have eternal life as a free gift, free gift and the Lord Jesus could say to the woman as well, if you lose the gift of God or the free giving of God, you would have asked of me and I wouldn't give you a living wise.
So God is a giving God, the Lord Jesus is a giving Savior and.
This jet is not going to be.
Your money perish with you because you fought.
That the gift of God could be bought this month.
Oh, that was terrible.
Let's just pray together. Father, we just thank Thee for this day.
00:50:05
And also dice period the Holy Spirit to.
