Jesus N Me Clubhouse with KC & Friends 7: Jesus Helps Me Seek God · Adventures: Bible Truths in Action

• 0:22
  I'm so glad you could join us today.
• 0:24
  Let's say our motto. Repeat after me.
• 0:27
  I will tell my friends. I will.
• 0:29
  Tell my friends. So they can know God.
• 0:32
  So they can know God. Here's something I know about
• 0:35
  God. God rewards those who seek Him.
• 0:39
  God wants us to get to know Him. The Bible calls it seeking God.
• 0:45
  Oh, hello, Casey. Can I bear you clubhouse today?
• 0:48
  Well, sure, squeakers, everyone is welcome here.
• 0:52
  A bunch of kids and I will really enjoy a student.
• 0:55
  To know them well. Funny you should mention that,
• 0:57
  Squeakers. Today I'm telling the kids how
• 0:59
  God rewards those who seek Him. Seek Him.
• 1:03
  That's impossible because no one can seek.
• 1:05
  God can see. He's our spirit.
• 1:08
  Well, you're right, squeakers, but seeking God doesn't mean
• 1:11
  looking for Him. Then what?
• 1:13
  What does it mean? It means getting to know God,
• 1:17
  spending time with him. How can?
• 1:19
  You spend time with someone that you can't see.
• 1:21
  That's a good question, Squeakers.
• 1:23
  We spend time with God by coming to church and praying and
• 1:27
  worshipping, even when we give him the offering.
• 1:31
  All those are ways we seek God. Asking Jesus to come live in
• 1:35
  your heart with how you start getting to know God right.
• 1:38
  You're right, squeakers. Boys and girls, if you want to
• 1:41
  ask Jesus to come live in your heart, then I want to pray with
• 1:44
  you, dear God. Dear God, thanks for sending
• 1:48
  Jesus Thanks. For sending.
• 1:51
  Jesus to die for my sins, to die for my sins.
• 1:55
  Jesus come into my heart. Jesus be the boss of my life.
• 2:01
  Be. The.
• 2:03
  Boss of my life in Jesus name. In Jesus name, Amen.
• 2:07
  Amen. Now.
• 2:09
  Let the. Sister speaking God rewards
• 2:12
  those who spend time with him. Oh, I need to go spend some time
• 2:16
  with a piece of cheese. Casey, I just fed you an hour
• 2:21
  ago, Squeakers. I know, but I have a very very
• 2:24
  smart stomach. But it's empty again because I
• 2:27
  pooted. OK, bye cheese.
• 2:29
  Bye Squeakers. Hey kids, did you know that
• 2:33
  there are books about Chubby and Bree?
• 2:36
  They're available on Amazon and e-book and paperback formats.
• 2:50
  Up in a tree hanging down from above a beehive busily buzzing
• 2:55
  God's Love. Papa Bee, Mama Bee, Chubby and
• 2:59
  Bree buzzing God's way. Take a look and you'll see
• 3:09
  Sunday, the day we go to church. Bees leave their hive, birds
• 3:13
  leave their perch, bears leave their dim bunnies their home.
• 3:18
  Learning God's Word, that is their goal.
• 3:25
  This week is different. Bri explained.
• 3:27
  Chubby responded. Girl, you're insane when Papa
• 3:32
  hears what you want to do. Chubby buzzed on.
• 3:35
  I'd hate to be you. Bree cried out.
• 3:39
  You. Don't understand.
• 3:41
  At the Park is a really cool band.
• 3:43
  Drums and guitars. This band's for real.
• 3:46
  If I skip church, what's the big deal?
• 3:50
  Sounds like fun. Was Chubby's reply.
• 3:53
  Wish I could go, I'm not going to lie, some other day I'd be
• 3:57
  there too. But Sunday church is what I do.
• 4:02
  What will it hurt to miss one day?
• 4:04
  Bri waited for what Chubby would say.
• 4:07
  Not much, but then maybe a lot. If you miss for this, where will
• 4:12
  it stop? Is there a good reason not to
• 4:15
  pray, Not read our Bible? Not do things God's way?
• 4:20
  You decide what's important for you.
• 4:22
  Do the wise thing. That's what I do.
• 4:26
  Then Chubby buzzed out of the room.
• 4:28
  Bri was left alone in her gloom. In her heart she knew what was
• 4:33
  right, but she ignored it with all of her might.
• 4:40
  Papa, said Bri. I.
• 4:42
  Know it's Sunday but can we go to the park today?
• 4:45
  Leave miss church cause the band plays at 10.
• 4:48
  They're famous and might not come here again.
• 4:52
  Papa thought about what he should say.
• 4:55
  He could make her do things God's way or teach her to do all
• 4:59
  things wise. So his answer was quite a
• 5:03
  surprise. Let's pretend you get to decide,
• 5:07
  but first think about why Jesus died.
• 5:11
  He wanted to live inside your heart so He can help you do
• 5:16
  what's smart. We go to church so we can know
• 5:21
  how much God loves us, which helps us grow.
• 5:25
  God wants us all to learn His way and make wise choices every
• 5:32
  day. Then Papa buzzed off just that
• 5:36
  quick. What would I choose if I could
• 5:40
  pick? Bree thought about what Papa had
• 5:43
  said, then thought about the park instead.
• 5:48
  I should be happy, so why am I sad?
• 5:53
  And will that concert make me glad?
• 5:57
  So Bree prayed. God, what should we do?
• 6:02
  You guessed it, off to church they flew.
• 6:15
  US Stacy, what are you doing with that telescope?
• 6:18
  JC I am earning my reward. What are you talking about?
• 6:23
  I read a verse in the Bible that says God rewards those that seek
• 6:28
  him. So you're using that telescope
• 6:31
  to try to find God? I don't want to find God.
• 6:35
  Why not? Because if I find him, I won't
• 6:38
  have to look for him anymore. You're not making any sense,
• 6:43
  Stacy. KC The Bible doesn't say God
• 6:47
  rewards those who find him. It says God rewards those who
• 6:53
  seek him. So I'm just going to seek him
• 6:56
  and seek him and seek him and seek him with my telescope.
• 7:01
  So you just go right ahead with the club and I'll stay out of
• 7:04
  your way. Hey boys and girls, do you know
• 7:14
  what these are? They're roller skates and you
• 7:18
  put these on instead of shoes. Some people, they can skate
• 7:24
  backwards, I got mine on. Some can skate forward or spin
• 7:31
  around. Some people skate fast, some
• 7:35
  people skate slow. Roller blades are kind of like
• 7:40
  seeking God because the more time you spend getting to learn
• 7:45
  how to rollerblade, the better you get.
• 7:48
  And the more time you seek God And the more time you spend with
• 7:52
  God, the more you learn just how much He loves you.
• 7:57
  And when you pray, it's like learning to skate.
• 8:01
  And when you give in the tithes and offering, it's like learning
• 8:05
  to skate even better. And when you lift your hands and
• 8:10
  you worship God, it's like twirling around on your skates.
• 8:15
  The more time that you spend seeking God, the more you get to
• 8:19
  know Him. Our memory verse today is
• 8:22
  Hebrews 11/6. God rewards those who seek Him.
• 8:27
  Can you say that with me say God rewards?
• 8:30
  God. Rewards those who seek him,
• 8:32
  those who. Seek him.
• 8:33
  One more time, God rewards. God rewards those who seek.
• 8:38
  Him great. I got to go.
• 8:47
  Today, boys and girls, we're going to visit my good friend
• 8:50
  Coach Conway. Coach.
• 8:55
  What a humdinger you are, Casey. Do you skate?
• 9:01
  Oh, you saw me skateboard. I like to ride it when I get
• 9:05
  tired of walking. That way I can just roll
• 9:08
  wherever I want to go and if I don't like where I'm going I
• 9:11
  just start rolling backwards in the other direction.
• 9:15
  When I don't know where I want to go, I just twirl around in a
• 9:19
  circle until I get so dizzy I don't want to skate anymore.
• 9:23
  Then I get off and walk. You make it sound so easy it.
• 9:28
  Is you just put one leg in front of the other and keep trading
• 9:32
  off. That's walking.
• 9:34
  I meant skating. You make skating sound easy.
• 9:38
  It is, but it didn't used to be. No siree.
• 9:42
  When I first started skateboarding, no matter where I
• 9:45
  wanted to go, I ended up on my bottom.
• 9:48
  But I would kick it up and try again.
• 9:51
  My friends would say I'll race you to the corner and I would
• 9:54
  say first one to the bottom wins and bloop, I would win.
• 10:01
  Not anymore. Now I skate to the corner.
• 10:05
  So how did you get good at skating?
• 10:07
  The same way you get good at anything, you just keep doing it
• 10:10
  over and over. That makes sense.
• 10:14
  It's the same with seeking God, Casey.
• 10:17
  The more time we spend with God, the better we get to know him.
• 10:21
  Every time we go to church, every time we read our Bible,
• 10:25
  every time we worship God, we're seeking God.
• 10:29
  You're right, Coach. That reminds me of a story in
• 10:33
  the Bible. People were crowding around
• 10:35
  Jesus to hear and speak, so he got into a boat and asked the
• 10:39
  owner to take him out a little way so everyone could hear him
• 10:43
  talk about the love of God. When he was finished, Jesus told
• 10:47
  the man to let his Nets down in the water to catch fish.
• 10:50
  The man told Jesus he had already been fishing all night
• 10:54
  and hadn't caught anything. Besides, it wasn't the right
• 10:57
  time to fish in the middle of the day.
• 11:00
  He was planning to go fishing again after the sun went down,
• 11:03
  but he decided to obey Jesus, so we let down his net and he
• 11:08
  caught so many fish he had to have his friends come with their
• 11:12
  boat to hold them all. That fisherman was Peter, wasn't
• 11:15
  it? You betcha.
• 11:17
  Jesus rewarded Peter for letting him use his boat to teach people
• 11:21
  about the goodness of God. Hebrews 11/6 says God rewards
• 11:26
  those who seek him. That's good to know.
• 11:30
  Thanks, Coach. You bet your Casey.
• 11:37
  Let's get our hearts and minds ready.
• 11:40
  I'm ready, so am I. Green, are you wearing glasses?
• 11:47
  Not just any glasses, magnifying glasses.
• 11:51
  I'm seeking God. Stacy told me about a verse she
• 11:54
  found in the Bible. Hebrews 11/6.
• 11:58
  God rewards those who seek Him. So you, you already know our
• 12:02
  verse for the day. I do.
• 12:05
  Yes, I I thought for sure you would mess it up a couple of
• 12:08
  times. You know, like God rewinds those
• 12:11
  that speak to Him. That doesn't even make sense,
• 12:15
  Casey. Yeah, I said rewards, not
• 12:19
  rewinds, boys and girls. Let's say the verse for Casey.
• 12:24
  Repeat after me God rewards. God rewards.
• 12:28
  Those who seek. Him, those who seek him.
• 12:33
  One more time, kids, God rewards.
• 12:36
  God rewards. Those who seek him.
• 12:39
  Those who seek him now you try it, Casey.
• 12:43
  I know the verse heart. And say it right.
• 12:47
  I said it wrong on purpose. Sure you did.
• 12:51
  If you know the verse, Mr. Smarty Pants, why aren't you
• 12:55
  seeking God like me and Stacy? Oh, my mom has a pair of
• 12:59
  binoculars you could use. I don't need any binoculars or
• 13:03
  telescopes or magnifying glasses.
• 13:06
  He's right. That is not how you seek God.
• 13:10
  It's not. No, you seek God by spending
• 13:14
  time with Him in prayer and worship.
• 13:17
  Yeah, like these kids do. And by going to church.
• 13:22
  Exactly. By listening to the word of God.
• 13:25
  Yes, God rewards those who spend time with Him because He loves
• 13:29
  to bless His children. That's a lot easier than walking
• 13:33
  around looking in the sky. I've tripped 3 times already
• 13:36
  because I wasn't watching where I was going.
• 13:39
  Thanks for explaining it, Casey. Yeah, thanks.
• 13:42
  Now it's time for today's Bible story.
• 13:45
  I can't wait to hear it and I. Can't wait to.
• 13:48
  Do it. It's the hearer and the doer of
• 13:52
  God's Word. Who's blessed?
• 14:04
  One day, as Jesus was preaching on the shore of the sea, great
• 14:08
  crowds pressed in to listen to the word of God.
• 14:11
  He noticed 2 empty boats at the water's edge.
• 14:14
  Stepping into one of the boats, Jesus asked Peter to push it out
• 14:18
  into the water. So Jesus sat in the boat and
• 14:20
  topped the crowds from there. Jesus, I love it when you teach
• 14:26
  us about God. So do I.
• 14:28
  Well, thank you for taking me out on your boat so that
• 14:30
  everyone can hear me teach God's Word.
• 14:32
  I'm glad we got to hear you teach too.
• 14:35
  Go out into the deeper water and let down your Nets now.
• 14:38
  But we've been fishing all night and we didn't catch anything.
• 14:41
  Night time is the best time to catch fish because they come up
• 14:44
  to the top of the water. We'll go out again after it gets
• 14:47
  dark. We need to get some sleep.
• 14:50
  But if you say so, Jesus will go out again right now.
• 14:54
  We will. Jesus told us to let down the
• 14:56
  Nets. So we will.
• 14:59
  Let's go. OK, let down the Nets.
• 15:12
  Are you sure? I just finished cleaning them
• 15:14
  Come. On.
• 15:15
  Andrew, I'll help you. Whoa.
• 15:22
  The net is full of fish. Ready.
• 15:25
  Let's pull it up. It's too heavy there's.
• 15:28
  Too many fish. We need some more men and
• 15:31
  another boat. God bless Peter and Andrew with
• 15:35
  so much fish that day. They had to get their friends to
• 15:38
  help and they filled up two boats with fish.
• 15:42
  God rewards us with so much so that we can be a blessing to
• 15:46
  other people too. Time for spiritual exercises.
• 15:50
  Everyone stand up on your feet. Here we go.
• 15:53
  You ready? Repeat after me.
• 15:55
  Stretch it up real high. I love the Lord I.
• 16:00
  Love the Lord. All my heart, all my heart.
• 16:04
  Now show me your muscles. God is good.
• 16:07
  God is good. All the time.
• 16:10
  All the time. I'm not afraid.
• 16:14
  I'm not afraid. God is with me.
• 16:17
  God. Is with.
• 16:18
  Me good. Now show me your Superman pose
• 16:22
  by Jesus stripes. By Jesus stripes I am healed.
• 16:27
  I am. Healed nice this work now these
• 16:30
  are my favorite. Kinky push ups.
• 16:33
  Up, down, up, down. I love others.
• 16:37
  I love others like Jesus loves me.
• 16:40
  Like Jesus loves me. That was a good workout.
• 16:45
  All right, let's cool it down. Let's stretch it out.
• 16:49
  I obey my parents. I obey my.
• 16:52
  Parents. For this pleases God for it.
• 16:55
  Pleases God. Oh, good job kids, Now just
• 16:58
  shake it out. Shake it out.
• 16:59
  Turn around if you want. Good job, kids.
• 17:04
  I'm proud of you. OK, so one day Jesus is teaching
• 17:14
  all the people. All the people.
• 17:16
  OK, well, a lot of people. How many is a lot?
• 17:19
  I don't know, maybe 100 or 1000. I don't know.
• 17:24
  Don't bug me. Anyway, there is so many people.
• 17:27
  Jesus is like, I got to get out of here.
• 17:30
  What? So he says to Pedro.
• 17:32
  He says Pedro. Do you mean?
• 17:34
  Peter. See Pedro?
• 17:36
  Anyway, so he says, hey Pedro, give me a ride in your boat,
• 17:39
  huh. And so Pedro chased Jesus out in
• 17:41
  his boat. And then Jesus starts teaching
• 17:43
  all the people, a lot of people maybe 100 or 1000 and and they
• 17:49
  could all hear what Jesus was saying a lot better since he was
• 17:52
  on the boat. Why?
• 17:54
  You don't know water makes what you say louder, man.
• 17:58
  It does. Now you should know this.
• 18:01
  You're a fish. All I can hear when I'm in the
• 18:04
  water is blah blah blah. Well, yeah, that's because
• 18:07
  you're under the water. But if you're on top of the
• 18:10
  water, we can hear you loud and clear, I say.
• 18:13
  You want to tell him how Jesus knew to do that?
• 18:15
  Man. I don't know, maybe because he's
• 18:18
  Jesus, he knows everything Anyways, so when Jesus is done
• 18:24
  teaching, he tells Pedro to go fishing.
• 18:27
  Oh no fishing? Why fishing?
• 18:30
  Because that's his. Job Pedro is a fisherman.
• 18:33
  Is this going to bother you? Maybe you should leave for a
• 18:36
  minute while I finish the story, man.
• 18:38
  Why? You're a fish.
• 18:40
  Yeah, maybe I should. I'll just go swim around for a
• 18:44
  minute. All right, so then Pedro goes
• 18:47
  fishing, even though he was already fishing earlier and
• 18:50
  didn't catch nothing man. But now he catches so many fish
• 18:53
  in his boat it almost sinks. OK, fish, you can come back now.
• 19:01
  Did you finish your story? Yeah, let's just say Pedro was
• 19:04
  glad he listened to Jesus. All right, man.
• 19:07
  That's because Jesus makes us wise.
• 19:09
  In fact, the word for today is wise.
• 19:12
  All the people wanted to be wise, you know, spend time with
• 19:15
  Jesus. That's why they listen to Jesus
• 19:18
  teaching. Hebrews 11/6 says God rewards
• 19:21
  those who seek him. Peter sure got rewarded, but I
• 19:26
  can't tell you how. Peter was wise.
• 19:28
  Let's just leave it at that. I remember when I was little, I
• 19:31
  had a bunch of wise. My dad would teach me about how
• 19:35
  to do stuff. He would say, Paco, you have to
• 19:37
  do it like this. And I would say, why is that?
• 19:40
  And sometimes my mom would say, bacco, you're doing it wrong.
• 19:43
  You're supposed to do it like this.
• 19:44
  And I would say, why is that? See, I had a bunch of wise.
• 19:48
  Well, that's not exactly right. Why is that?
• 19:54
  Because you're asking why That's not the same as being wise.
• 19:58
  Being wise is seeking God. You know when you listen to
• 20:02
  Jesus in his Word. Why is that?
• 20:05
  Never mind. You can hear and see more of
• 20:10
  Paco and the Fish telling stories about Jesus on your
• 20:14
  favorite podcast or video platform.
• 20:17
  Just search for Paco and the Fish.
• 20:27
  Casey, do you know what my favorite part of the clubhouse
• 20:31
  was today? Let me guess, you liked it when
• 20:34
  squeakers pooted? That too and I liked it when you
• 20:40
  messed up the Bible verse. I did it on purpose, Fuzzy.
• 20:45
  I was surprised that brain knew the Bible verse before I had a
• 20:48
  chance to say it. So what did you learn today?
• 20:52
  I learned that when a rabbit imitates a fruit, you get a
• 20:57
  Bunny Ribbit. A Bunny Ribbit.
• 21:02
  Yeah, What did you learn, Casey? God rewards those that seek Him.
• 21:08
  But you can't see God. You're right, Fuzzy.
• 21:11
  We seek God by spending time learning the Bible.
• 21:15
  What about worshiping God? That's spending time with God,
• 21:18
  isn't it? Yes, it is fuzzy.
• 21:20
  And when we worship God, our problems get smaller and God
• 21:24
  gets bigger. That's a good way to look at it.
• 21:27
  So does God love us more because we spend time with Him?
• 21:31
  No, God loves us all the same, but the more time we spend
• 21:35
  learning God's Word, the more we realize how much He loves us.
• 21:40
  God rewards those who seek Him. Hebrews 11/6.
• 21:44
  Can you say that, Casey? God rewards those who seek him.
• 21:49
  Hebrews 11/6. Wait a minute, I'm supposed to
• 21:53
  tell you the Bible verse? Normally that would be true, but
• 21:58
  I'm not so sure you know it. Say goodbye, Fuzzy.
• 22:01
  Goodbye, Fuzzy. Goodbye kids, see you next time
• 22:06
  at the Jesus and Me Clubhouse. See you back again at Casey's
• 22:17
  Clubhouse. It's the place we learn God's
• 22:20
  Word. Till we meet again at Casey's
• 22:24
  Clubhouse, let's be doers of what we've heard.
