come out come out wherever you are over there on that great book is grand old
holy she is really old and wise and she tells us wonderful stories when she is awake and we love to sing
ooh know you three again anyway today I will tell you a really interesting story of how
God saved all the creatures and a good man named Noah
a long time had passed since Adam and Eve were created the land was now full
of wicked people this made God very unhappy
there was only one good man called Noah he blessed Noah but being a good person and
said I will destroy all bad and wicked people only you and your family
will be saved so he asked Noah to build a huge boat God called the ark god then said bring your
family and two of every kind of family to the ark he also asked him to gather
enough food to last for a very long time he then told him that in seven days he
would send rain which would go on for 40 days and 40 nights the rain will bring a
huge flood only noah and his family and the animals on the boat would survive
Noah did everything that God had asked him to do he spent many days building
the ark we gathered two animals of every kind gathered food and got inside the
ark with his family God sent the rains for 40 days and 40 nights Noah and his
family was safe inside the ark after the rain had stopped to know what
was going on outside Noah would send out a dove everyday
but the dove would come back with nothing one day the Dove came back to him with an olive leaf no
one knew that the earth was finally drying out they stepped out of the boat
after a year very happy to have survived the flood I hope you have been listening
very carefully because this question is a little tough tubby if you answer this
question correctly I will sing along with you okay here is a question how did
no one know it was time to leave the ark he sends out a dove and came back with
an olive branch very good
do tell us another story about Moses you want to listen to a story about Moses
again all right I will tell you the story of how God appeared to Moses in a
burning bush Moses was the Prince of Egypt who lived
in the pharaoh's palace for 40 years in order to save the people of Israel from
slavery he had run away and he started living in the desert there he lived as a
shepherd and herded his own flock of sheep
one day Moses went to Mount Horeb with his sheep their God appeared to him as a
flame of fire in a bush when he saw the burning bush Moses noticed a very
strange thing he saw the bush was not burning up suddenly he heard God's voice
calling him from the bush Moses Moses God wanted him to come near the bush and
he asked him to remove his sandals as Moses was standing on holy ground God
said I am the God of your ancestors Abraham Isaac and Jacob Moses
immediately hid his face and could not look at God God told him that he had
come to save the people of Israel from slavery he told Moses
he needed his help to bring them out from Egypt he asked Moses to tell the
people that he was sent by God to rescue them but Moses was worried that they
would not believe him God said I will send your brother Aaron to help you
Moses and Aaron together went to Goshen and talk to the leaders of Israel they
believed Moses and Aaron now let me see if you listen to the story I just told
you I will ask each of you a question tubby why was Moses on Mount Horeb
he was attending to his flock of sheep absolutely now gumbo who called Moses
from the burning bush God duh of course freckles why did Moses hide his face
because Moses was ugly
and that's holy she will tell us a story from the Bible like always
holy wake up its story time
oh you kids are back I see so holy which story are you going to tell us today
today's story is about the 12 spies
after Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt God led them through deep forests
and jungles into the land of Canaan the land which he had promised to them when
the whole nation of Israel count at the edge of the land of Canaan Moses sent
one man from each of the twelve tribes of Israel to go to Canaan and explore
Canaan and find out everything about it as God had commanded it was important
for Moses to know the number of people who lived there
how they were if the soil was fertile enough for them to grow good crops and
also what fruits and vegetables could grow on that soil so the spies need to
do the land and explored it for 40 days after 40 days they came back to report
to Moses but samples of fruits had a huge cluster of juicy grapes the whole nation
of Israel gathered and were more than eager to know what the spies had to say about Canaan
the spice said the land of Canaan is magnificent the soil is healthy and it
grows healthy crops like we've never seen before
and they show then the fruits they had gathered but the people living there are
like giants they said 10 of the 12 spices said we felt like grasshoppers next to
the people of Canaan they're very strong and powerful and the city is protected
with strong walls there's hardly any way we could take this land only two spice
out of the 12th Joshua and Caleb said it's true that the people of Canaan are
strong and powerful and there are many of them but we can win against them
after all God is on our side come on let's all be courageous and do
it however the Israelites follow the ten
frightened spice and we've refused to take Canaan in spite of seeing all the
miracles God had done this made God angry that the people of Israel did not
have faith in him he said that the present generation of Israelites will
die before the nation is allowed entry into the promise land he also said that the whole nation of
wanter in the forests and the jungles for 40 years only Joshua and Caleb will be
allowed to enter the promised land what 40 years yes
gumbo for years now it's time for the question who would like to answer okay
so Tubby tell me which two of the twelve spies were allowed to enter the land of
Canaan I know Joshua and Caleb
holy we are back its time for you tell a new story from the bible remember
course I do how can I forget so today I have decided
to tell you the story about what happened when Jonah went to Nineveh to
preach God's message that sounds quite interesting
begin with the story holy alright so God once again sent Jonah to Nineveh
to deliver his message the moment the fish spit him out
Jonah obeyed God this time and ran to Nineveh the city of Nineveh was so huge
that it took three days for Jonah to see all of it as Jonah entered the city he
shouted forty days from now Nineveh will be destroyed the people of Nineveh was
so scared they believed his message every single person living in Nineveh
from the richest to the poorest fasted and wore sackcloth
to show their sorrow even the King stepped down from his throne took off
his royal robe and borrow sackcloth he issued a decree in all Nineveh that no
living being including animals should eat or drink anything
everyone must turn away from evil ways to stop violence wear sackcloth and pray
so that God may have pity on them and not destroy them when God saw that the
people were turning away from the evil ways and starting to follow him he had
mercy on them and did not destroy the city
this made Jonah very very angry he shouted I knew you would do something
like this and that's why I ran away the first time
you are so loving and compassionate that I knew you would forgive them kill me
let me die what are you so angry about God asked Jonah Jonah went outside the
city of Nineveh and built a shelter where he could sit and wait to see what
happened to the city God made a plant grow with big leaves so that it could
shade Jonah from the Sun Jonah was very grateful for the plant but a few days
later God made a worm in the plant which ate its stem from inside finally killing
it Jonah did not have any shade from the
scorching Sun anymore he was so miserable he prayed to God to kill him
God asked Jonah is it right for you to be angry because the plant died yes
angry enough to die Jonah shouted God said do you feel bad for the plant even
though you did nothing to make it grow plants have short lives but there are
almost a hundred and 20,000 people living in the city of
nineveh who know nothing about me shouldn't I feel sorry for them that was
a good way God used to make Jonah understand don't you think yes it was wonderful
story holy so what is todays question
how many people lived in the city of Nineveh a hundred and 20,000 thats absolutely correct hello kids isn't it a
nice day am really sad holy tubby ate my chocolate
i didnt eat it i just took a small bite now don't fight kids we should all learn to share now don't you
want to hear a story from the Bible yes we do all right kids
today's story is about Jesus and Satan Jesus went to a desert to get ready for
future tasks he fasted for 40 days he didn't eat or drink anything by the end
of the 40 days Jesus was tired and hungry Satan who was the enemy of God
thought of tempting Jesus he came next to him and challenged him if you really
are the son of God say then why don't you turn this town's
into bread jesus replied the Holy Scriptures say that we cannot live on
bread alone we also need the nourishment of God's words Satan took Jesus to a
high mountain where he could see all the kingdoms of the world and said if you
pray to me then all you see from here will be yours
jesus said the Holy Scriptures say we must only pray to our God and nobody
else saten then took Jesus to Jerusalem and made him stand on the edge of the
temple and asked why don't you throw yourself of the fish and like the
scriptures say God's angels will come to save you jesus said where the scripture
is also safe not to put God to test Satan understood no matter what he said
nothing could tempt Jesus upset and embarrassed
Satan left God then sent His angels to feed and take care of Jesus I hope you
like the story I will ask a question now who tried to tempt Jesus
i can answer this saten tried to tempt jesus very good
