- 0:06Speaker 1: Hello friends, welcome to the Seed Pod for Kids. Thank
- 0:09Speaker 1: you for joining me today as we spend time with
- 0:13Speaker 1: our friend Jesus. Spending time with Jesus is the best
- 0:17Speaker 1: way to start your day. Let's begin our time together
- 0:21Speaker 1: praising Him.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Have you ever seen someone learn about Jesus because of
- 0:28Speaker 2: your witness and your example? There is nothing like it.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Miss Katie met a woman at the park one day
- 0:36Speaker 2: and they started talking and exchanged phone numbers. Their kids
- 0:40Speaker 2: were about the same age and they hit it off.
- 0:43Speaker 2: They started doing things together and talking about Jesus too.
- 0:47Speaker 2: The woman was interested in learning more about what Miss
- 0:50Speaker 2: Katie believed about the Bible. It wasn't overnight, but soon
- 0:54Speaker 2: the lady and her family started attending church and studying
- 0:57Speaker 2: the Bible. And now their family loves Jesus and follows him.
- 1:02Speaker 2: This is what this song is talking about. rejoicing as
- 1:05Speaker 2: we bring people to Jesus.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness, sowing in
- 1:17Speaker 3: the noontide and the dewy eve. Waiting for the harvest
- 1:23Speaker 3: and the time of reaping, we shall come rejoicing, bringing
- 1:29Speaker 3: in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves.
- 1:35Speaker 3: We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves, bringing in
- 1:40Speaker 3: the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves. We shall come rejoicing,
- 1:46Speaker 3: bringing in the sheaves, sowing in the sunshine, sowing in
- 1:52Speaker 3: the shadows, fearing neither clouds nor winter's chilly breeze. By
- 1:58Speaker 3: and by the harvest and the labor ended.
- 2:02Speaker 4: We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.
- 2:07Speaker 3: Bringing in the sheaves. We shall come rejoicing, bringing in
- 2:15Speaker 3: the sheaves. Bringing in the sheaves. We shall come rejoicing,
- 2:23Speaker 3: bringing in the sheaves.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Lord, thank you for each boy and girl who's here
- 2:42Speaker 1: today that we're spending time with you. We pray for
- 2:46Speaker 1: your spirit to be with us in Jesus name.
- 2:49Speaker 5: Amen.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Hey, boys and girls, do you remember our story yesterday?
- 2:54Speaker 1: Jesus had just given life back to someone who had died.
- 2:58Speaker 1: And for a little while, everyone had stood perfectly still
- 3:02Speaker 1: and stared at what was happening. I'm sure they were
- 3:05Speaker 1: in complete shock. They had never seen Jesus raise somebody
- 3:09Speaker 1: to life before. They had heard stories of like Elisha
- 3:13Speaker 1: and Elijah raising people to life, but not Jesus. It
- 3:18Speaker 1: was as if they couldn't believe their eyes. But then...
- 3:22Speaker 1: They realized that it was true. Jesus had actually made
- 3:27Speaker 1: a dead person alive again. So what did they say?
- 3:30Speaker 1: Let's turn in our Bibles to Luke chapter 7, verse 16.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Luke chapter 7, Matthew, Mark, Luke, chapter 7, verse 16.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Luke chapter 7, verse 16. What were the people saying?
- 3:53Speaker 5: God has visited his people.
- 3:55Speaker 1: They glorified God and said that there is a great prophet.
- 3:59Speaker 1: They realized, wait a second, people who have done this
- 4:02Speaker 1: have been really great prophets in our past, so that
- 4:05Speaker 1: must be who Jesus is. Do you think that that
- 4:08Speaker 1: kind of news traveled really fast? One person told another, hey,
- 4:12Speaker 1: did you hear? And another person told another, Oh, did
- 4:16Speaker 1: you hear what happened in Nain and Jesus and this
- 4:18Speaker 1: crowd of people? And then another person told another.
- 4:21Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
- 4:23Speaker 5: No way. Are you serious?
- 4:25Speaker 1: Who's? Oh, wow. That's amazing. Look at verse 17.
- 4:31Speaker 5: And this report about him went throughout all Judea and
- 4:35Speaker 5: all the surrounding region.
- 4:37Speaker 1: It was like wildfire. Have you ever seen a wildfire?
- 4:41Speaker 1: It starts burning and it starts kind of small, but
- 4:44Speaker 1: then it burns more and more and it can move
- 4:48Speaker 1: really fast. In fact, if the wind starts to blow,
- 4:51Speaker 1: it blows the embers and the flaming bits of wood
- 4:55Speaker 1: or leaves up ahead of the fire and it can
- 4:58Speaker 1: start fires a half a mile ahead of where the
- 5:01Speaker 1: main fire is. It goes fast. That's what was happening here.
- 5:08Speaker 1: People were sharing the message quickly. It was no secret.
- 5:14Speaker 1: The report was spreading really quickly, kind of like a wildfire.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Who do you think was not happy about what Jesus did? Well,
- 5:24Speaker 1: Satan wasn't happy, right? And also the priests and the
- 5:28Speaker 1: rulers were not happy either. They were refusing to believe
- 5:32Speaker 1: that Jesus was the true Messiah. They had been choosing
- 5:36Speaker 1: to follow Satan. And that made it easy for them
- 5:39Speaker 1: to refuse to believe in Jesus. The young man who
- 5:44Speaker 1: was raised to life and all the other people who
- 5:46Speaker 1: were there that day, except Jesus, they're all dead, right? Yeah,
- 5:51Speaker 1: today they're all dead and gone. But each and every
- 5:55Speaker 1: one of them who chose to trust and follow Jesus,
- 5:58Speaker 1: will they be alive again soon when Jesus comes? Yeah,
- 6:01Speaker 1: they will. The same loving heavenly father of Jesus, is
- 6:06Speaker 1: also our father. And he can save us in his
- 6:11Speaker 1: kingdom too. Let's turn to Colossians. This might be a
- 6:15Speaker 1: little more challenging to find. Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians chapter one.
- 6:22Speaker 1: So it's after first and second Corinthians, after Acts, after Romans,
- 6:27Speaker 1: it's there in the New Testament. Colossians chapter one. Verses
- 6:35Speaker 1: 13 and 14. Colossians chapter 1, verse 13 and 14.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Colossians chapter 1, verse 13 and 14. What does this
- 6:47Speaker 1: say about the power that Jesus has?
- 6:50Speaker 5: He has delivered us from the power of darkness and
- 6:53Speaker 5: conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
- 6:56Speaker 5: in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness
- 7:00Speaker 5: of sins.
- 7:01Speaker 1: He has the power to deliver us, right? And to
- 7:05Speaker 1: take us to his kingdom. Isn't that wonderful? Always remember,
- 7:10Speaker 1: boys and girls, that Jesus loves each of us so
- 7:14Speaker 1: much that he gladly became one of us, our real
- 7:19Speaker 1: human brother. He lived just like we live. He died
- 7:24Speaker 1: for us so that we can be saved. And even
- 7:28Speaker 1: if we die before he comes, He will make us
- 7:31Speaker 1: alive again and take us to live with him in
- 7:33Speaker 1: heaven forever. Isn't that wonderful? Of course, we can't help
- 7:39Speaker 1: feeling very sad when someone we love dies. But we
- 7:43Speaker 1: don't have to be sad like people who don't know Jesus.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Because we have a hope. We know that Jesus is
- 7:51Speaker 1: coming back. He will wake up everyone who has chosen
- 7:55Speaker 1: to love and trust him. In fact, he gives us
- 7:58Speaker 1: a promise. We're going to look at it. In 1
- 8:00Speaker 1: Thessalonians chapter 4, verse 16, 17, and 18. I love
- 8:06Speaker 1: this promise. 1 Thessalonians. It's in the New Testament. It's
- 8:12Speaker 1: before Hebrews. It's in the middle of the T's. You
- 8:15Speaker 1: have 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus.
- 8:20Speaker 1: This is Thessalonians. 1 Thessalonians chapter 4, and then verse 16, 17,
- 8:25Speaker 1: and 18. 1 Thessalonians chapter 4, verses 16, 17, and 18.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Here's what it says.
- 8:37Speaker 5: For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout,
- 8:41Speaker 5: with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet
- 8:44Speaker 5: of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
- 8:48Speaker 5: Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught
- 8:51Speaker 5: up together with them in the clouds to meet the
- 8:54Speaker 5: Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be
- 8:57Speaker 5: with the Lord. Therefore, comfort one another with these words.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Isn't that a beautiful promise? That we are going to
- 9:05Speaker 1: be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.
- 9:08Speaker 1: God is going to raise us from the dead if
- 9:11Speaker 1: we have died. And we have the promise that we
- 9:14Speaker 1: will go and live with him forever. And the Bible
- 9:18Speaker 1: even says, comfort each other with these words. That means
- 9:21Speaker 1: that take hope, take courage, even in your sadness. Know
- 9:27Speaker 1: that this is not the end. Isn't that a beautiful promise?
- 9:31Speaker 1: Let's thank Jesus for it. Dear Lord, thank you so
- 9:35Speaker 1: much that you've promised that when you come again, those
- 9:39Speaker 1: who are dead will rise first and that we will
- 9:42Speaker 1: get to be caught up together and join you in
- 9:46Speaker 1: the air. And thus we will always be with the Lord.
- 9:49Speaker 1: We look forward to that day. Help us to be
- 9:52Speaker 1: ready in Jesus name. Amen. Luke 1.37.

- 10:16Speaker 7: will be impossible For with God nothing will be impossible
- 10:27Speaker 7: With God nothing will be impossible Chapter 137 For with
