Transcript
- 0:22I'm so glad you could join us today.
- 0:25Let's say our motto. Repeat after me.
- 0:27I will tell my friends. I will.
- 0:29Tell my friends. So they can know God.
- 0:32So they can know God. Here's something I know about
- 0:36God. God wants us to follow Him.
- 0:39Have you ever played Follow the Leader?
- 0:41Oh, I want to play. I want to play.
- 0:44Oh. Not right now Fetch.
- 0:47I have a club meeting. Oh, oh, throw a club, I'll run
- 0:51the game I want to play. OK, fetch.
- 0:53OK, calm down. This is fetch.
- 0:55He's my dog and and he loves to play fetch, likes to play.
- 0:59Follow the leader. Don't you fetch?
- 1:01Oh, oh, you'll be a leader, Casey.
- 1:02I'll follow you. If if you jump, I'll jump.
- 1:05If you run, I'll run. I'll get you, Casey.
- 1:08I'll run fast. Yes, you do fetch boys and
- 1:12girls. When you play follow the leader.
- 1:14You have to do whatever the leader does.
- 1:16If the leader jumps, you jump. If the leader crawls, you crawl.
- 1:22I know how to crawl, Casey. I know how to crawl.
- 1:24Whatever the leader does, you follow him and do the same
- 1:27thing. Being a Christian is like
- 1:29playing follow the leader. Do you know who the leader is
- 1:32when you're a Christian? Oh, I know, Casey.
- 1:35I know. Ask me, I'll tell you.
- 1:37OK, fetch, who's our leader? Oh, Jesus is he's the leader.
- 1:41I am the follower. That's right, the Bible says
- 1:44imitate God in everything you do.
- 1:46Jesus prayed for sick people and they got better.
- 1:49So when we pray for sick people, they'll get better too.
- 1:53Why? Because Jesus lives in your
- 1:56heart, Casey. Jesus isn't your heart.
- 1:59That's a good point. Fetch boys and girls.
- 2:01You can be a follower of Jesus. When you receive him in your
- 2:04heart, then you can do what Jesus did.
- 2:07If you want to ask Jesus to come live in your heart, then I want
- 2:10to pray with you, dear God. Dear God, thanks for sending
- 2:15Jesus. Thanks for sending.
- 2:16Jesus. To die for my sins.
- 2:19To die for my sins. Jesus come into my heart.
- 2:26Be the boss of my life in Jesus name, Amen.
- 2:35Now they can play too, Casey. They can follow the leader.
- 2:39Jesus is their leader now. That's right, fetch here go
- 2:43fetch. Where'd it go?
- 2:45Where'd it go? I didn't throw anything, but he
- 2:48thinks I did, so he'll be looking a long time.
- 2:54Kids, did you know that there are books about Chubby and Bree?
- 2:58They're available on Amazon and e-book and paperback formats.
- 3:12Up in a tree hanging down from above a beehive busily buzzing
- 3:17God's Love. Papa Bee, Mama Bee, Chubby and
- 3:21Bree buzzing God's way. Take a look and you'll see.
- 3:29Be. Kind, was the thought stuck in
- 3:32Bree's head. When you're feeling mean, just
- 3:35be kind instead. Feeling too busy to lend folks a
- 3:40hand? Taking a moment to be kind is
- 3:43grand. When Bree saw Annie Ant running
- 3:47around crying. Mad Dad, though, nowhere to be
- 3:52found. Annie Ant didn't know.
- 3:54Just outside her view, Mom and Dad were running around looking
- 3:58for her too. Bree quickly helped Annie Ant
- 4:02find her way. An act of kindness Bree did that
- 4:05day. All back together they cried.
- 4:08Bree, thank you. Bree replied as she flew and
- 4:15then Barney Beetle tipped or on his back his legs were kicking.
- 4:19I'm stuck in this. Crack.
- 4:22God, he's so big and I know I'm small but I can't buzz off doing
- 4:28nothing at all. Bree quickly prayed.
- 4:31Lord, I'm in a bind. I need to help Barney.
- 4:35I want to be kind. And then an idea just popped up
- 4:40in Bree. Using her Stinger, she flipped
- 4:43Barney free when Crabby Crow's wing was bunched in a knot.
- 4:48Bree tried to help. Crabby got rather hot.
- 4:51You're. Just a bee, what good can you do
- 4:55the knot? In my wing.
- 4:56Is bigger than you I'll. Pray, Bree answered as she bowed
- 5:00her head. That knot has to go wing be
- 5:03healed instead. In Jesus name I pray for crabby
- 5:08crow. The wing straightened out.
- 5:10The knot had to go. Crabby Crow marveled how Bree
- 5:14was so kind, and Barney Beetle now off his behind.
- 5:19Annie and Mom and Dad Aunt all agree they'd never met anyone
- 5:24kinder than Bree. Kindness is God's way.
- 5:27Bree tried to explain. God sent us Jesus who bore all
- 5:32our pain. He carried our sins as he died
- 5:35on that tree. The best act of kindness for you
- 5:38and for me. Now, every Sunday, Crabby Crow
- 5:42lands with Barney, Beetle and a family of ants to learn about
- 5:47Jesus like Brie taught them to. When given a chance to be kind,
- 5:52they do. KC what's wrong with Fetch?
- 5:59He's going crazy back there looking for something.
- 6:02Speaking of crazy, what are you doing with that space helmet on
- 6:06your head? Well, I'm trying to tell others
- 6:08about Jesus, but all my friends already have Jesus in their
- 6:12heart. OK, so how does the space helmet
- 6:15figure into this? Well I saw this movie where an
- 6:19alien lands on earth and he says take me to your leader.
- 6:23He was wearing a helmet like this.
- 6:25So I thought that if I I had one too, maybe I could talk to the
- 6:29aliens and get them all saved. We're talking about how Jesus is
- 6:34our leader today. I know.
- 6:36And Jesus wants us to follow him.
- 6:38Jesus wants us and the aliens to follow him.
- 6:43I'm going to get the aliens to follow Jesus.
- 6:45When they say take me to your leader, I'll lead them in a
- 6:49prayer to get Jesus in their hearts.
- 6:51But what if they don't know who Jesus is?
- 6:54Casey, everyone knows who Jesus. Well, no, they don't.
- 6:59You have to teach them. That's what Jesus did.
- 7:02He showed people that God is good.
- 7:04When someone was sick, Jesus prayed for them and they were
- 7:07healed. You can do the same thing.
- 7:11And Stacy, I don't think there are such things as aliens.
- 7:14That's just a movie. It's not real.
- 7:17So you should take off the helmet and just go meet some new
- 7:20people. No, that's why I couldn't find
- 7:23any aliens to talk to all day. They're not real.
- 7:27Thanks, Casey. I'll just go make some new
- 7:29friends and tell them all how much God loves them.
- 7:32That's a good idea, Stacy. Do you like to play pretend?
- 7:40Have you ever put on a cowboy hat and acted like a cowboy?
- 7:45Howdy. Partner or or maybe a pirate.
- 7:50Or matey. Or a superhero.
- 7:55I'm Batman. When I was a kid I would spend
- 7:59hours pretending to be someone that I had seen in a movie or on
- 8:03tvi was imitating them. The Bible's full of stories of
- 8:09Jesus imitating God. He acted just.
- 8:12Like God. In fact, Jesus tells us that he
- 8:16only said what God told him to say, and he only did what God
- 8:21told him to do. Jesus wants us to act just like
- 8:25him so that people can become safe.
- 8:28Jesus went and told people about the goodness of God, so his
- 8:33disciples did the same thing. We should.
- 8:35Do that too. Jesus went around healing the
- 8:39sick. So did his followers.
- 8:42We also should be doing that. We should be imitating God in
- 8:46everything we do today. Our memory verse is Ephesians
- 8:5151. Imitate God in everything you
- 8:55do. Can you say that with me?
- 8:58Say imitate God. Imitate.
- 9:01God in everything you do. In everything you.
- 9:04Do the more you imitate God, the more you act like him and you
- 9:08talk like him one more time, imitate God.
- 9:13Imitate. In everything you do in.
- 9:15Everything you. Do great job.
- 9:21We're back to visit our friend Clownsy.
- 9:25Casey. Hi, Clownsy.
- 9:28It's good to see ya. Wait a minute, let me put on my
- 9:32special glasses. There, that's better.
- 9:37Clownsy, you are so silly, you're always pretending.
- 9:41You're right Casey, when I watch someone on TV that I like, I try
- 9:46to imitate them. Like when I watch a cowboy
- 9:49movie, I want to act like a cowboy.
- 9:52Howdy partner, how was the horse ride over here?
- 9:57I don't have a horse. I walked.
- 10:00Casey, you're not pretending. That's why I'm here.
- 10:05I heard you got a horse for sale.
- 10:08How much money you got? I've got a dollar.
- 10:12That's a little bit of money for a little bit of horse.
- 10:17You like to play pretend, don't you Clownsy?
- 10:20I do. Casey imitating reminds me of
- 10:25Jesus. Jesus loved to imitate God.
- 10:29He said what God would say, and he did what God would do.
- 10:34Only Jesus wasn't pretending because he was God.
- 10:38Jesus wants us to imitate him, doesn't he, Clownsy?
- 10:42Absolutely. The people in the Bible that
- 10:46followed Jesus were called Christians because the word
- 10:50Christian means little Christ. It's because they were acting
- 10:54like Jesus. We are supposed to act like
- 10:57Jesus too. That's what Christians are
- 10:59supposed to do. The Bible says Jesus went about
- 11:03doing good. So we should go around doing
- 11:07good. That's one way we can imitate
- 11:09God. And when someone was sick, Jesus
- 11:13would pray for them. That's.
- 11:15Another way we can imitate God. The Bible says imitate God in
- 11:20everything you do. Ephesians 5/1.
- 11:23That's good to know. Thanks Clownsy.
- 11:27Thanks for coming, Casey. Wait.
- 11:30Let me put my glasses back on. See you later.
- 11:40Now, boys and girls, is your heart and mind ready to receive
- 11:43God's Word? Today.
- 11:44I'm ready, Casey. Heart, are you feeling OK?
- 11:49I feel fine, why do you ask? You look a little green.
- 11:55See, I was pretending to be an alien so Stacy could take me to
- 12:00her leader. Oh.
- 12:05Sorry I'm late, I was on my way here and I took off running
- 12:08because please don't think I'm crazy.
- 12:10I saw an alien. Casey, That's the alien.
- 12:16That's not an alien, it's heart. Stacy and I were pretending to
- 12:21save the world. Well, at least it's for a good
- 12:25cause. OK, here's our Bible verse for
- 12:29today. Ephesians 51 Imitate God in
- 12:33everything you do. Let's say it together, boys and
- 12:36girls imitate God. Imitate God.
- 12:39In everything you do in. Everything you.
- 12:43Do I'm late God and everything is blue?
- 12:47What? That's not how the verse goes.
- 12:50I said imitate God. Imitate God?
- 12:54What? What does that mean?
- 12:55We imitate God by acting like Jesus, Like the way you were
- 13:00acting like an alien? Exactly.
- 13:04What did Jesus do when someone was sick?
- 13:06Jesus prayed for them and they were healed.
- 13:10That's right. So when we see someone who is
- 13:13sick, we can pray for them. Jesus obeyed his parents, so we
- 13:17should obey our parents. What about sharing toys?
- 13:21I really don't like to do that. Well, we don't have any Bible
- 13:25stories about Jesus sharing toys, but we do know Jesus
- 13:29shared his food. I don't like sharing my food
- 13:31either. Since Jesus shared his food, we
- 13:34should too. And we should share our toys
- 13:38too. That's right heart.
- 13:40Let's say the verse again. Boys and girls imitate God.
- 13:44Imitate God. In everything you do in.
- 13:47Everything you do. Imitate God in everything you.
- 13:52Glue. No.
- 13:53Imitate God in everything you do, not everything you glue.
- 13:57Oh, that makes sense now. Ephesians 51 imitate God in
- 14:02everything you do. Ephesians 51 Imitate God in
- 14:08everything you. Do that's right.
- 14:11Good job, brain. Thanks heart.
- 14:13Now it's time for today's Bible story.
- 14:16I can't wait to hear it and I can't wait to do it.
- 14:19It's the hearer and the doer. Of God.
- 14:23'S word. Who's blessed?
- 14:36One day, as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of
- 14:39Galilee, he saw two brothers, Peter and Andrew, throwing their
- 14:43Nets into the water. For they fish for a living.
- 14:47Don't you get tired of fishing, Andrew?
- 14:50What other job is there where you get to enjoy the great
- 14:53outdoors? Riding in a boat all day and
- 14:56catching Yummy for my tummy fish.
- 14:59Yeah, I like it too, don't get me wrong.
- 15:01It's just that I want to do something more with my life.
- 15:05I want my life to count for something.
- 15:08Hey Peter, our Nets are full of fish.
- 15:10Thanks to Jesus. Let's get these fish to the
- 15:12market. We're going to make a lot of
- 15:14money today. Only I could do what Jesus is
- 15:18doing. He's really making his life
- 15:20count. He's Jesus.
- 15:22You're a fisherman. Now come on, help me with these
- 15:26fish. That's a lot of fish.
- 15:29Jesus, we don't deserve what you've done for us.
- 15:32Come follow me and I will show you how to fish for people.
- 15:38Is he serious? Fish for people.
- 15:41I think so. We're going to need a bigger
- 15:43net. Bigger net.
- 15:47You heard that from way over there.
- 15:49I heard everything you said, Peter.
- 15:51You want your life to count, Follow me.
- 15:53Do everything I do. You will pray for the sick and
- 15:56they will be healed. You will tell the devil no and
- 15:59he will go. You will teach people that God
- 16:01is good and they will follow you too.
- 16:04Lead the way, Sir. Hey, wait for me.
- 16:10It's time for spiritual exercises.
- 16:12Everyone stand up on your feet. Here we go.
- 16:15You ready? Repeat after me.
- 16:18Stretch it up real high. I love the Lord.
- 16:22I love the Lord. With all my heart.
- 16:25With all my heart. Now show me your muscles.
- 16:28God is good. God is good.
- 16:31All the time. All the time.
- 16:35I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid.
- 16:38God is with me. God.
- 16:40Is with. Me good.
- 16:41Now show me your Superman pose by Jesus stripes.
- 16:46By Jesus stripes. I am healed.
- 16:49I. AM.
- 16:50Healed. Nice work.
- 16:52Now these are my favorite kinky push ups.
- 16:55Up down, up down. I love others.
- 16:59I love. Others Jesus loves me.
- 17:02Like Jesus loves me. That was a good workout.
- 17:07All right, let's cool it down. Let's stretch it out.
- 17:12I obey my parents. I obey my.
- 17:15Parents for this pleases God for it.
- 17:17Pleases. God, good job kids.
- 17:20Now just shake it out. Shake it out, turn around if you
- 17:22want. Good job kids, I'm proud of you.
- 17:30OK man, so get a load of this. God sends Jesus to the earth to
- 17:34save us from being punished for all the bad things that we were
- 17:37doing. And Jesus goes around telling
- 17:39people about how good God is and that he loves them, and he
- 17:42touches all the sick people and they get healed.
- 17:46Wait, he touched all the sick people in the whole world?
- 17:50What are you man crazy? He can't touch everyone in the
- 17:53whole world. That would take like 4 forever.
- 17:57So he just touched all the sick people that were there with him.
- 18:02Well, OK, if you say so. It sounds good to me.
- 18:04Don't you know your story? Of course I know my story and I
- 18:08would finish telling my story if you would let me finish telling
- 18:11my story, man. OK, sorry.
- 18:14All right, so Jesus, he knows he can't touch everybody in the
- 18:16whole world. So he tells his friends, hey you
- 18:19go tell people about God, how good he is, and you touch the
- 18:23sick people and just tell them I sent you and they will get
- 18:25healed and stuff. So they just did what they saw
- 18:28Jesus do. Yeah, you're pretty smart for a
- 18:31fish, man. Thanks.
- 18:33So the people that saw Jesus friends teaching about God and
- 18:36touching the sick people so they could be healed, they started
- 18:39calling Jesus friends Little Christ because they acted just
- 18:43like Jesus. That's what the word Christian
- 18:46means, Little Christ. And we are supposed to act like
- 18:50Jesus today, man. The word for today is kindness.
- 18:55God wants us to be kind to others by sharing God's love
- 18:59with them. Everybody always tells me I got
- 19:02a lot of kindness. My abuelita used to get mad at
- 19:06me for having too much kindness. Your grandma would get mad at
- 19:10you. Yeah, she would ask me, Miko,
- 19:12tell me your favorite cake so I can build you one for your
- 19:15birthday. And I would say, I don't know,
- 19:16Abuelita. I kind of like chocolate cake
- 19:18and I kind of like strawberry cake, and I kind of like lemon
- 19:22cake and I kind of like carrot cake.
- 19:24No, no, no, no, no, no. Not kindness, Kindness.
- 19:29God wants us as Christians to do good to those around us who are
- 19:33hurting and need help. Ephesians 432 says be kind to
- 19:38one another. And I kind of like spice cake
- 19:42and I kind of like apple cake and I kind of like banana cake.
- 19:46Would you quit with all the cakes?
- 19:50You are getting mad just like my abuelita.
- 19:53You should try to be kind like Jesus.
- 19:56I need some water. You can hear and see more of
- 20:00Paco and the Fish telling stories about Jesus on your
- 20:04favorite podcast or video platform.
- 20:07Just search for Paco and the Fish.
- 20:21KC You know what my favorite part of the clubhouse was today?
- 20:26No. What was it Fuzzy?
- 20:28I like the part where Brain thought Heart was an alien.
- 20:31What was that? He said.
- 20:33Oh yeah, that was really. Funny, but what did you learn
- 20:40today, Fuzzy? I learned what the only
- 20:43instrument found in a bathroom is.
- 20:46What is the only instrument found in a bathroom?
- 20:49A tuba toothpaste. Get it?
- 20:51Tuba Tuba toothpaste. I get it.
- 20:56But that's not what we learned today.
- 20:58We learned that Jesus wants us to follow Him.
- 21:01Where is he going? What?
- 21:03Well, if I have to follow Jesus, I'd like to know where he's
- 21:07going. When Jesus says to follow him,
- 21:10he means to act like he acts, to do what he does and say what he
- 21:14says. Jesus showed people God's love,
- 21:17and he wants us to do the same. Yes, imitate God in everything
- 21:23you do. Wait a minute, Imitate God.
- 21:28What happened to Jesus? When you imitate Jesus, you are
- 21:32imitating God, because Jesus imitated God well.
- 21:35That makes sense. Imitate God in everything you
- 21:39do. Ephesians 51.
- 21:41Can you say that Fuzzy? Imitate God in everything you
- 21:45do. Ephesians 5/1.
- 21:48Very good. Say goodbye, Fuzzy.
- 21:51Goodbye, Fuzzy. Goodbye kids, see you next time
- 21:56at the Jesus and Me Clubhouse. See you back again at Casey's
- 22:05Clubhouse. It's the place we learn God's
- 22:09Word. Till we meet again at Casey's
- 22:12Clubhouse, let's be doers of what we've heard.
