Transcript
- 0:00Hey kids, welcome to Jesus and Me Clubhouse.
- 0:03I'm Casey. I'm so glad you could join us
- 0:25today. Let's say our motto.
- 0:28Repeat after me. I will tell my friends.
- 0:30I will. Tell my friends.
- 0:32So they can know God, so. They can know God.
- 0:36Here's something I know about God.
- 0:38God wants us to be thankful. The Bible says in everything,
- 0:42give thanks. Special.
- 0:45Delivery. For.
- 0:46Casey special delivery for me. What a coincidence.
- 0:52We're learning how to be thankful when someone gives us
- 0:54something I know I thought I'd take advantage of.
- 0:58This. Opportunity.
- 1:01What did you say? I mean I, I think.
- 1:03You're going to. Like this delivery?
- 1:05Well, I do like getting packages.
- 1:08It's like opening a present. Oh, let's see what I got.
- 1:14It's a spider. I don't really like spiders.
- 1:18But you should be thankful, Casey.
- 1:21You're right. I need to be thankful.
- 1:24Wait, there's a note attached. The note says flu.
- 1:29Wait a minute. Sickness is not from God.
- 1:32Sickness comes from the devil. Wait.
- 1:34Wait, wait, wait. What happened to being?
- 1:36Thankful for everything. Boys and girls, the only gift
- 1:39you shouldn't be thankful for is anything the devil tries to give
- 1:43you. The devil only gives bad things
- 1:46and what makes. You think of.
- 1:47This is bad. It says flu.
- 1:50Everyone knows the flu is bad and God only gives good things.
- 1:54So this is from the devil and I'm not going to take it by
- 1:57Jesus stripes. I'm healed.
- 2:00Ouch. Devil, take your sickness and
- 2:02get out of my body in Jesus name.
- 2:05Fine, I'll go. Just don't speak any more of
- 2:08God's word. Oh, so much for giving thanks.
- 2:13Hey kids, did you know that there are books about Chubby and
- 2:17Bree? They're available on Amazon in
- 2:20e-book and paperback formats. Up in a tree hanging down from
- 2:34above a beehive busily buzzing God's Love.
- 2:38Papa Bee, Mama Bee, Chubby and Bree buzzing God's way.
- 2:44Take a look and you'll see Chubby was happy his birthday
- 2:51arrived with Grandma's birthday gift in his beehive.
- 2:55Gifts from my grandma are always the best.
- 2:58He figured this gift was like all the rest.
- 3:01He poked in the Stinger, swished his bee tail, and all of the
- 3:05wrapping on the gift just fell. He looked at the gift that had
- 3:09just been unwrapped. That's when his face looked like
- 3:13he had been zapped. Oh.
- 3:15No. Buzz chubby as loud as he could.
- 3:19This gift, I don't like it. This gift is no good.
- 3:23It's good that your grandma is nowhere around to hear you cry
- 3:29and plop on the ground. Chubby.
- 3:32Warned Mama. Your behavior's bad.
- 3:35If grandma was here, I'm sure she'd be sad.
- 3:40There's never a reason to behave this way.
- 3:45Always be thankful, especially today.
- 3:50But Mama. Cried Chubby.
- 3:52Look what I got. Not just one worm Mama, I got a
- 3:56lot. Worms.
- 3:58Mama gasped. Oh, that's not right at all, but
- 4:02we should be thankful. Give Grandma a call.
- 4:06No way. Chubby started to protest the
- 4:09thought. I cannot say thank you for
- 4:12worms. I will not.
- 4:14That would be lying, and it's wrong to lie.
- 4:17How can I be thankful for worms? How can I?
- 4:21Chevy. Said Mama.
- 4:23When you get a present, it's 'cause someone loves you, so
- 4:28just be pleasant. It's not for the gift that you
- 4:31tell them thank you. It's knowing God loves you and
- 4:35that bee does too. You know grandma loves you.
- 4:39Chubby just smiled. I'll call Grandma now.
- 4:43As he started to dial. Grandma.
- 4:45Said Chubby. I just called to say thanks for
- 4:48the gift you got for my birthday.
- 4:51Grandma just laughed, and then she laughed some more.
- 4:55She finally asked what? Are you thankful for that gift?
- 4:59Wasn't for you? Don't you know those worms you
- 5:02got were for my bird friend Crow?
- 5:05So what did you get? Me.
- 5:07Chubby's face beamed. One of them jerseys from the
- 5:10Hornets ball team and a ball signed by the Hornets star
- 5:14player. Thank you, Grandma.
- 5:17Chubby said with a prayer. You're welcome, chubby.
- 5:20Grandma went on to say. Why did you thank me for worms,
- 5:24by the way? Because.
- 5:26Chubby answered. I'm thankful for you.
- 5:29I'm thankful you love me and God he loves me too.
- 5:33The party continued. It was all great trick, candles,
- 5:37party games and birthday cake. And for each present he was
- 5:41thankful that day. Because being thankful, that is
- 5:46God's way. Casey, look what I got for my
- 5:52birthday. That's a really nice shirt.
- 5:55No it's not. I hate purple.
- 5:59Who gave this to you? My friend Susie.
- 6:01Did you thank her for it? Why should I?
- 6:04I don't even want it. I'm just going to give it back
- 6:07to her and tell her I don't like it.
- 6:09Stacy, have you ever given someone a gift?
- 6:12Yes, lots of times I color pictures for mom.
- 6:16And why do you like to give gifts to mom?
- 6:19To let her know that I love her. Does mom say thank you?
- 6:22Yes, and she gives me a big hug. And how does that make you feel?
- 6:27I want to color another picture for her.
- 6:29And how would you feel if mom told you that your picture was
- 6:33ugly? I would probably cry.
- 6:36And you might not color any more pictures for her ever again.
- 6:40Yeah. So how do you think Susie will
- 6:43feel when you tell her you don't like her present?
- 6:46She might cry. She might and she might not ever
- 6:50buy you another present. But I like to get presents.
- 6:55I just don't like purple presents.
- 6:58But you don't want to make Susie cry, do you?
- 7:01No. That's why God tells us to be
- 7:03thankful. He doesn't want Susie to cry
- 7:06either. So I should tell Susie thank you
- 7:08for the shirt. Yes you should, and remember
- 7:11that Susie loves you, that's why she gave you the gift.
- 7:15But what do I do with the shirt? Well, wait a couple of days
- 7:18because you might change your mind and decide you like purple.
- 7:21But if not, then when mom goes to the store, maybe she can
- 7:25exchange it for a color you like.
- 7:27Oh. Thanks, Casey.
- 7:34I've got a question for you. Do you like to get presents?
- 7:40I do. I love presents.
- 7:45Have you ever gotten a present that you didn't like or that you
- 7:49didn't want? I have.
- 7:53I remember as a little boy a friend of mine got me a toy that
- 7:57I already had. So when I opened his gift and
- 8:00saw that toy I said I don't want this.
- 8:03I already have this toy. Well that made my friend really
- 8:08sad. So my mom came over and talked
- 8:11to me and she told me that I needed to tell my friend sorry I
- 8:15hurt his feelings by telling him I didn't want his toy.
- 8:19When people give us gifts, it's them showing us that they love
- 8:24us. When people give us gifts, it's
- 8:27also them showing us that God loves us.
- 8:32My mom told me about a Bible verse in First Thessalonians 518
- 8:37and it says in everything give thanks.
- 8:43That's our memory verse for today.
- 8:45Can you say it with me? All right, say in everything in.
- 8:50Everything. Give thanks.
- 8:53Give thanks. One more time, say in
- 8:56everything. In everything.
- 8:58Give thanks. Give thanks.
- 9:01After this I went over back to my friend and I told them that I
- 9:05was sorry and then I took the toy that they gave me and the
- 9:09toy that I already had and he and I got to play together with
- 9:13that toy. We had so much fun.
- 9:18I learned that day that whenever anybody gives me anything, I
- 9:22should always say thank you. Let's practice.
- 9:27If your mom or your dad or your brother came and gave you a
- 9:30cookie, what should you say? Thank you.
- 9:35What if they give you clothes? Thank you.
- 9:41What if they give you something you don't want?
- 9:46You should still say thank you because they are showing you
- 9:50that they love you and that God loves you.
- 9:56Let's say our memory verse one more time.
- 9:59Say in everything. In everything.
- 10:02Give thanks. Give thanks.
- 10:05Great job. Let's.
- 10:08Visit our good friend Coach Conway Coach.
- 10:12With your lookie there, it's Casey.
- 10:14You got a present. Is it your birthday?
- 10:17Yes. Yes, it is.
- 10:19I am one year older today than I was yesterday.
- 10:23How old are you? I don't know, I lost count.
- 10:26Happy birthday coach. I'm sorry we didn't bring you
- 10:29anything. It's OK if you had remembered to
- 10:32bring me a gift, I would have to remember to thank you for it.
- 10:36So what did you get for your birthday?
- 10:38I don't know, but I already thanked them for the gift.
- 10:42You already thanked them, but what if you don't like what they
- 10:45gave you? Giving a gift is like saying I
- 10:49love you, and when we say thank you, it's like saying I love you
- 10:53too. I never thought about it like
- 10:56that before. That reminds me of a story in
- 10:59the Bible. One time there were 10 lepers
- 11:02yelling at Jesus. They were wanting a present from
- 11:06him. They wanted the gift of healing.
- 11:09Lepers are people who have sores all over their bodies, the kind
- 11:13of sores that would make your fingers fall off.
- 11:16That's right, Casey. Lepers couldn't live at home
- 11:19anymore because they didn't want their family members to get the
- 11:22disease. They wanted to be healed so they
- 11:25could go home. So they yelled at Jesus.
- 11:27Have mercy on us. What did Jesus do?
- 11:32Told them to go show themselves to the priest, which is exactly
- 11:35what a person had to do when they got healed of leprosy.
- 11:39So while they were on their way to the priest, they were healed.
- 11:43All their sores were gone. No more hurting.
- 11:47One of the 10 lepers turned around and went back to Jesus to
- 11:51say thank you. The other nine kept.
- 11:53Going why didn't they go say thank you?
- 11:58Well. Maybe they were anxious to get
- 12:00home to their families, but the one that went back fell on his
- 12:04knees and worshipped Jesus, thanking him for his gift of
- 12:07healing. Jesus looked at the leper and
- 12:10said, Your faith has made you whole.
- 12:13Anybody. Parts that were missing weren't
- 12:15missing anymore. The man who said thank you was
- 12:18made completely whole. It pays to say thank you.
- 12:24In everything, give thanks. First Thessalonians 518.
- 12:29That's good to know, Coach. Thanks.
- 12:39Let's get our hearts and minds ready to learn the Bible verse.
- 12:43Casey, did you know it was Stacy's birthday?
- 12:47I forgot heart but I know now. What should we get?
- 12:51Her. That's a good question, brain.
- 12:53Something that's not purple, not.
- 12:56Purple. I'll explain it later.
- 12:59It's time now for our Bible verse.
- 13:02Today's Bible verse is First Thessalonians 518.
- 13:06In everything, give thanks. Let's say it together, boys and
- 13:11girls. In everything, give thanks.
- 13:17OK brain, give it a try. And everything.
- 13:21Why not purple? Stacy doesn't like purple.
- 13:24I like purple. Not now heart, say the Bible
- 13:28verse brain. And everything.
- 13:31Why doesn't she like purple? I don't know, Brain.
- 13:35You have to ask her yourself. Let's say the Bible verse again.
- 13:39For Brain. In everything.
- 13:42In everything. Give thanks.
- 13:46OK. Brain Heart.
- 13:48Where's Brain? Casey.
- 13:49You. Told him to go ask Stacy why she
- 13:52doesn't like purple. I didn't mean right now.
- 13:56I'm back. Where did you go, brain?
- 13:59You told me to ask Stacy why she didn't like purple.
- 14:02Told ya. I know how he thinks.
- 14:05Brain, I didn't mean for you to go ask her.
- 14:08Now we're learning a Bible verse.
- 14:11Can you say the Bible? Verse Oh, we have a Bible verse.
- 14:15Yes. Oh, and by the way, thank you.
- 14:20For what? For putting up with me, now you
- 14:23need to thank me. For what?
- 14:25The Bible says in everything, give thanks.
- 14:30That's our Bible verse. What?
- 14:33A coincidence First Thessalonians 518 in everything
- 14:40give. Thanks.
- 14:41Now it's time for today's Bible story.
- 14:44I can't wait to hear it and I can't wait to do it.
- 14:48It's the hearer and the doer. Of God's Word.
- 14:52Who's blessed? As Jesus entered a village, tin
- 15:07lepers stood at a distance crying out, Jesus, Master, have
- 15:11mercy on us. He looked at them and said, go
- 15:15show yourselves to the priests. And as they went they were
- 15:19cleansed of their leprosy. Jesus, all ten of those lepers
- 15:25were healed. As they walked away, I could see
- 15:28their sores clearing up. God is good, isn't he, Peter?
- 15:32Praise God, Hey, you're one of those lepers.
- 15:36I was. I'm not a leper anymore.
- 15:39I'm. Healed.
- 15:40Your face looks great. He had sores all over his face.
- 15:44I did. They're all gone now.
- 15:47How come you still have your hand bandaged?
- 15:49Well. I only have.
- 15:51One finger I'm. Kind of embarrassed about it so
- 15:54I think I'll keep it covered. For now, anyway.
- 15:57I understand. Anyway, I just wanted to say
- 16:00thank you. For healing me, weren't there
- 16:0310? Of you healed.
- 16:04Yes. We're all so.
- 16:06Excited. We can't wait to get home to our
- 16:08families. But you.
- 16:10Are the only. One that came to give thanks to
- 16:12God for what he did for you. Go now.
- 16:16Your faith has made you whole. Whole.
- 16:19You mean I have all my fingers? Look, I'm whole.
- 16:27I'm whole. Thank you so much.
- 16:30I'm whole. Do you know what I'm thankful
- 16:34for? I'm thankful that Jesus lives in
- 16:37my heart. If you want to ask Jesus to come
- 16:41live in your heart, then I want to pray with you, Dear God.
- 16:45Dear God, thanks for sending Jesus.
- 16:48Thanks for sending. Jesus.
- 16:51To die for my sins. To die for my sins, Jesus come
- 16:56into my heart. Jesus.

- 17:15purple shirt. I decided I liked it and purple

- 17:54Me good. Now show me your Superman pose
- 17:58by Jesus stripes. By Jesus stripes.
- 18:01I am healed. I am healed.
- 18:04Nice work, now these are my favorite kinky push ups up down,
- 18:10up. Down.
- 18:12I love others I. Love.
- 18:14Others like Jesus loves me. Like Jesus loves.
- 18:18Me. That was a good workout.
- 18:21All right, let's cool it down. Let's stretch it out.
- 18:26I obey my parents. I obey my.
- 18:29Parents for this pleases God for it.
- 18:31Pleases God. Oh, good job kids, Now just
- 18:34shake it out. Shake it out.
- 18:36Turn around if you want. Good job, kids.
- 18:40I'm proud of you. OK, so one day Jesus was
- 18:50surrounded by 10 leopards. Wait, you already told this
- 18:54story? No, I told a story about one
- 18:57leopard. This story has 10 leopards.
- 19:01OK, but they're not leopards. They're leopards, Remember, They
- 19:06have a disease that's very contagious.
- 19:09Oh yeah? Well, maybe they were wearing
- 19:11leopard masks so they wouldn't give their germs to anyone.
- 19:15Just tell the story. Anyways, they were practicing
- 19:19social distancing, so they had to yell at Jesus.
- 19:22They said Mr. Jesus. Mr. Jesus.
- 19:26It's in the Bible. So the leopards, they say maybe
- 19:30you could see us now if you're not too busy.
- 19:32But Jesus was too busy, so he said go, let the priest look at
- 19:36you. I'm too busy.
- 19:37I think the priest helps Jesus with the little stuff, you know
- 19:40what I mean? I guess.
- 19:42So when they start heading to church where the priest is
- 19:44working, all their leopard spots fall off.
- 19:48You mean their sores were all healed?
- 19:51Same. Thing So one of the leopards
- 19:54that's not a leopard anymore because he doesn't have any
- 19:56spots, comes back to Jesus and falls down, probably because
- 20:00he's tired from walking back and forth, but he tells Jesus muchas
- 20:03Gracias. Mucha what?
- 20:06It means thanks a lot And Jesus says, hold on, weren't there 10
- 20:10leopards that lost their spots? And only you come back to say
- 20:13mucha gracias, thank you. And the guy says, well, I'm a
- 20:16slow marathon, but I'm I'm not as slow as those other nine are.
- 20:20Not slow. Meritan Samaritan.
- 20:24We've talked about this before. Oh yeah, the good slow Meritan.
- 20:28I remember him. But this isn't the same guy
- 20:31anyway. So Jesus tells him, you are the
- 20:34only one who came to give glory to God, so your faith has made
- 20:38you completely well. He was thankful, Paco, that's
- 20:42our word for today. First Thessalonians 518 says in
- 20:47everything, give thanks. Well, I'm thankful I didn't have
- 20:50to say. Yeah, that.
- 20:55Hey, how do you know all these big words, man?
- 20:57I went to school. Yeah, I go to school too.
- 21:00So how did you like my story? You didn't correct me this time.
- 21:03I got it right. Huh?
- 21:04The story of the 10 leopards. 10 leopards, not leopards, and you
- 21:10got most of it right. Which part did I mess up?
- 21:14Well. Since you're asking, the lepers
- 21:17didn't say Mr. Jesus, they said Jesus Master, have mercy on us.
- 21:23So Jesus said go show yourself to the priest, because people
- 21:27healed of leprosy had to have a priest check them before they
- 21:31could go back home. Go back home.
- 21:33Yeah, they don't have to socially distance anymore now
- 21:38that they don't have leprosy. Oh, and they don't have to wear
- 21:41masks anymore either. That's a lot to be thankful for.
- 21:44Yes, it is. You know what I'm thankful for?
- 21:47What? That I have a friend like you,
- 21:49man, really I am. I don't even know how to end
- 21:54this because you're not splashing away like you normally
- 21:56do. You can hear and see more of
- 22:01Paco and the Fish telling stories about Jesus on your
- 22:05favorite podcast or video platform.
- 22:08Just search for Paco and the Fish.
- 22:15Casey, you know what my favorite part of the clubhouse was today?
- 22:20No fuzzy. What was it?
- 22:22The part where the big leopard came back to thank Jesus.
- 22:26I love leopards and tigers. I love.
- 22:30Tigers. Wow.
- 22:32It wasn't a leopard fuzzy, it was a leper.
- 22:36A leper. A leper is a person with a
- 22:39disease called leprosy. Oh well that's good to know.
- 22:44I was having a hard time believing a leopard could talk.
- 22:48So what did you learn today, Fuzzy?
- 22:51I learned that turkeys are never hungry at Thanksgiving, because
- 22:55they are. Stuffed.
- 22:57No, that's not what we learned today.
- 23:00We learn to always say thank you.
- 23:03Oh, that's right, we say thank you.
- 23:07Even if it's purple. That's right in everything.
- 23:11Give thanks. First Thessalonians 518.
- 23:15Can you say that Fuzzy? In everything, give thanks.
- 23:18First Thessalonians 518. Very good.
- 23:23Say goodbye, Fuzzy. Goodbye, Fuzzy.
- 23:26Goodbye kids, See you next time at the Jesus and Me Clubhouse.
- 23:33See you back again at Casey's Clubhouse.
- 23:37It's the place we learn God's word.
- 23:40Till we meet again at Casey's Clubhouse, let's be doers of
- 23:46what we've. Heard.
