WEBVTT 00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:09.759 Everybody needs a pen or a pencil. Okay, so here's 00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:11.179 what we're going to do. Everybody needs a pen 00:00:11.179 --> 00:00:12.480 or a pencil. So, Kyle, do you need a pen or a 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:14.960 pencil? I have one in my hand. Okay, awesome. 00:00:15.500 --> 00:00:20.579 I need one. Coming at you. That hurts. Okay. 00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.739 All right. So, this page. for you. Okay, so here's 00:00:31.739 --> 00:00:34.140 how we're going to do this. We're going to work 00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:36.420 down the page from the top to the bottom and 00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:39.000 in between each section, I have another pen if 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:43.920 you need it, Kyler. As we worked on each section, 00:00:44.060 --> 00:00:46.399 we're going to have a little activity so and 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.039 each one will be a little competition. Alright, 00:00:49.179 --> 00:00:52.780 and so we'll let the young people start like 00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:55.159 work our way up. The youngest people will be 00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:56.659 allowed to participate first, and then we'll 00:00:56.659 --> 00:00:58.299 work our way up from there, okay, if anybody 00:00:58.299 --> 00:01:00.820 else wants to try things. All right, so basically, 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:02.500 have you ever seen the show Minute to Win It? 00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:04.959 Have you seen that show? Okay, so these are activities. 00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:06.219 The activities that we're going to do in between 00:01:06.219 --> 00:01:08.900 are going to be activities like that. So I have 00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:11.260 a deck of Minute to Win It challenges up here, 00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:14.439 and I will pick one, and then we'll have two 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:16.439 people, or if it's one, we have enough parts, 00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:18.079 we can do more than two people at once, and we'll 00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:25.920 do more than two people once. So if anybody's 00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.120 got friends, I've got like five pages left. If 00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:29.140 you want to call your friends right now and tell 00:01:29.140 --> 00:01:33.299 them they can come. All right. Not that we couldn't 00:01:33.299 --> 00:01:36.739 make more copies. Okay. So our spiritual discipline 00:01:36.739 --> 00:01:41.000 for this six months is meditation. Okay. So meditation 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.099 is... One part of it and prayer is the other. 00:01:43.180 --> 00:01:45.079 So we're going to talk today about meditating. 00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.280 And we're going to do a meditation like together. 00:01:48.659 --> 00:01:50.019 We're all going to do a meditation together. 00:01:50.420 --> 00:01:53.480 But then we're also going to, you're going to 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:54.939 do it on your own sitting right where you're 00:01:54.939 --> 00:01:58.099 at. Okay? So there are no wrong answers on your 00:01:58.099 --> 00:02:00.239 paper. Do you need a pen, Kerry? Yeah. Okay. 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.659 I don't know if this one will write or not. There 00:02:02.659 --> 00:02:04.920 should be a box in the back. Josh, you got a 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:10.319 pen for Kerry? He's usually got pens. All right. 00:02:11.689 --> 00:02:14.969 So on these little sheets that I have here in 00:02:14.969 --> 00:02:21.810 front of me, I have meditation questions. Some 00:02:21.810 --> 00:02:24.189 are about the books and some are about the verses. 00:02:24.270 --> 00:02:31.849 I'm separating them into piles real quick. Okay. 00:02:32.849 --> 00:02:35.530 All right. So the first thing I'm going to do 00:02:35.530 --> 00:02:38.750 is we're going to meditate on the book of Genesis. 00:02:38.770 --> 00:02:42.360 The whole book, beginning to end. So I'm going 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.840 to pull a slip of paper, and then as a group, 00:02:44.900 --> 00:02:47.340 anybody who wants to answer can answer. And then 00:02:47.340 --> 00:02:49.740 you can write on your paper what you think you 00:02:49.740 --> 00:02:52.219 should write. So we're filling this box right 00:02:52.219 --> 00:02:54.159 here, buddy. We're going to write in that box 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:59.139 right here now. What does the name of the book 00:02:59.139 --> 00:03:02.360 of Genesis tell us about the book? Does anybody 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.280 know what the word Genesis means? Going once, 00:03:05.379 --> 00:03:09.230 going twice. Go ahead. In the beginning. Close. 00:03:09.230 --> 00:03:12.909 Genesis means beginnings, basically. Beginning 00:03:12.909 --> 00:03:16.469 or beginnings. So then you can make a little 00:03:16.469 --> 00:03:19.469 note in your box, whatever you want, about that. 00:03:19.689 --> 00:03:22.270 The book name is Genesis, and you could just 00:03:22.270 --> 00:03:25.330 put the word beginnings there if you want. Does 00:03:25.330 --> 00:03:27.990 the name Genesis, which means beginnings, tell 00:03:27.990 --> 00:03:36.750 us anything about the book? Say it again. Oh, 00:03:36.870 --> 00:03:41.389 Ariana, go. It tells us that it's the story about 00:03:41.389 --> 00:03:44.409 a young student. Okay, so you write something 00:03:44.409 --> 00:03:53.750 about that. You can put this under your paper. 00:03:54.590 --> 00:03:57.490 And then you collect up the papers and you can 00:03:57.490 --> 00:04:00.169 keep them in there. And you want to try it with 00:04:00.169 --> 00:04:21.399 our folder. Okay, some pens are a lot more expensive 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:26.100 than that. All right, so anything else? Anybody 00:04:26.100 --> 00:04:27.660 got anything else on that question? Otherwise, 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.319 moving on. Scrambling the book questions. We 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.319 will not answer all the same questions on each 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.439 one because they're scrambled. Okay, what is 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.379 one random fact that I know from this book? Tell 00:04:39.379 --> 00:04:41.160 me something that you know from the book of Genesis. 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.199 Go. Okay, so that would be an example. God created 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:46.740 the heavens and the earth. You don't have to 00:04:46.740 --> 00:04:48.540 put that on your paper. What else do you have? 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:50.860 Should be more, right? What else happened in 00:04:50.860 --> 00:04:55.720 the book of Genesis? Adam and Eve, what? They 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:59.420 were made, sinned against God, right? So the 00:04:59.420 --> 00:05:01.639 fall happened. So you can put that in there. 00:05:02.259 --> 00:05:07.959 Who are Adam and Eve's first sons? Yep, Abel 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.480 and Cain, right? And what did Abel do to Cain? 00:05:11.980 --> 00:05:15.360 No, Cain killed Abel, dude. But you were with 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.660 me. You're tracking. What's that? Kind of showed 00:05:18.660 --> 00:05:20.720 him up. That's probably true, yeah. Yeah, so 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.079 they both sacrificed to God. Abel gave a sacrifice 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:25.319 that was a little more near and dear to what 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:27.740 God was looking for. And Cain got really mad 00:05:27.740 --> 00:05:29.899 about it and killed his brother. First murder, 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.680 Cain killed Abel. Anything else in the book of 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.360 Genesis? It's a long book. Lots in there. What 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:36.860 other stories in the book? Kyla, what else is 00:05:36.860 --> 00:05:39.019 in the book of Genesis? Can you think? In the 00:05:39.019 --> 00:05:40.240 first book of the Bible, what else might be in 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.339 there? Go ahead, Ariane. The story of Noah's 00:05:43.339 --> 00:05:45.899 Ark. That's right. Genesis 8 is the story of 00:05:45.899 --> 00:05:48.540 Noah's Ark. So after all that happened, they 00:05:48.540 --> 00:05:50.939 all started sinning. And it got to the point 00:05:50.939 --> 00:05:52.300 where pretty much everybody on the planet was 00:05:52.300 --> 00:05:54.040 sinning. It was not doing what God wanted them 00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.279 to do, right? And so then God saw that only Noah 00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:58.120 was righteous. Then God said, I'm going to save 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.379 you, and I'm going to save your wife. I'm going 00:06:00.379 --> 00:06:01.660 to save your sons. I'm going to save their wives. 00:06:01.819 --> 00:06:03.379 And that's it. Everybody else is going to get 00:06:03.379 --> 00:06:06.199 it. Flood the whole planet, wipe them out. So 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.439 he said, build an ark, which is really like a 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.699 giant rectangular box. It's really not even a 00:06:11.699 --> 00:06:14.920 boat, per se. And they did. You can see a mock 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.100 -up of the ark in the exact side in the creation. 00:06:17.740 --> 00:06:20.959 It's called Ark Encounter down in Kentucky. So 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:22.800 you can write any of those things we just wrote. 00:06:22.860 --> 00:06:24.579 You can do more. Later is the story of Abraham. 00:06:24.819 --> 00:06:26.180 If you know something about him, you can write 00:06:26.180 --> 00:06:28.600 something on there about Abraham. There's a bunch 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:32.310 more in there. Jacob. Jacob's ladder. He saw 00:06:32.310 --> 00:06:34.110 the angels going to him from heaven. That's in 00:06:34.110 --> 00:06:37.050 there. Esau and Jacob, they were brothers. They 00:06:37.050 --> 00:06:38.810 were born real close together. Esau was just 00:06:38.810 --> 00:06:41.209 a little bit older. And in the end, Jacob stole 00:06:41.209 --> 00:06:43.490 his birthright and his blessing. You write any 00:06:43.490 --> 00:06:46.170 of those things in that box. And we do one more 00:06:46.170 --> 00:06:50.410 random, random question about the book. Okay. 00:06:50.730 --> 00:06:53.290 All right. This one's a funny one. What color 00:06:53.290 --> 00:06:58.730 or temperature or activity? comes to mind when 00:06:58.730 --> 00:07:00.569 you think about this book? When you think about 00:07:00.569 --> 00:07:03.730 the book Genesis, what color or temperature or 00:07:03.730 --> 00:07:06.610 activity comes to mind? And probably a lot of 00:07:06.610 --> 00:07:08.750 people would have different answers, right? So 00:07:08.750 --> 00:07:10.069 Natalie, when you think of the book Genesis, 00:07:10.170 --> 00:07:14.230 what color do you think of? Green. That's the 00:07:14.230 --> 00:07:15.509 color I thought of too. What about you, Kyla? 00:07:16.230 --> 00:07:21.670 Blue. Yeah, that's a lot of blue, isn't it? Yep, 00:07:21.689 --> 00:07:25.100 go ahead. I think of green, red, and blue. That's 00:07:25.100 --> 00:07:26.980 a lot. So you could write those down. So this 00:07:26.980 --> 00:07:29.600 is how meditation works. You ask questions about 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.680 what you're thinking about. So we're doing it 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.860 all together. It's a group meditation. But you 00:07:33.860 --> 00:07:35.980 would do this by yourself. And you could write 00:07:35.980 --> 00:07:38.300 the questions down that you like. And you can 00:07:38.300 --> 00:07:39.860 randomly draw them. Or you can just think of 00:07:39.860 --> 00:07:43.000 them at the time. Now, when you're meditating, 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.480 you don't actually have to write anything down. 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.060 It becomes study when you start writing stuff 00:07:48.060 --> 00:07:50.439 down. So we are doing a Bible study on meditation. 00:07:50.540 --> 00:07:52.360 So we are writing things down. But you would 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:54.540 not have to do that. You just think about it. 00:07:54.579 --> 00:07:56.879 I mean, what temperature does the book of Genesis 00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:01.300 feel like to me? Anybody think of one that jumps 00:08:01.300 --> 00:08:04.879 in your head? Go ahead. Like hot. Okay. I don't 00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.199 know why it's hot. It jumps in your head hot. 00:08:07.339 --> 00:08:10.120 Okay. Like just hot, like hot outside or hot 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.839 like the sun or hot like a fire? Like the sun. 00:08:14.139 --> 00:08:18.240 Okay. Yeah. All right. Okay. So that's it on 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:19.699 the book of Genesis. We're going to do a little 00:08:19.699 --> 00:08:22.199 activity. So who's the youngest person in the 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:24.620 room? No, definitely not Kashawn. All right, 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.100 so Kyler. Who's the next youngest after Kyler? 00:08:27.139 --> 00:08:29.560 What grade are you in now? Sixth? Sixth, sixth. 00:08:29.699 --> 00:08:31.740 So you're both in sixth. What grade are you in? 00:08:32.139 --> 00:08:33.860 All right, you're up here with Kyler. Come on. 00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:36.399 All right, now if I draw one that can do more 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:37.919 than two people, we'll do more than two people. 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:43.700 Okay, it is one that we can do more. Okay? All 00:08:43.700 --> 00:08:46.500 right, put your folders down. This is an up activity. 00:08:46.700 --> 00:08:50.080 We're getting up out of our seats for this. Okay, 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:53.580 stand up. All right, I can do... I can do plenty 00:08:53.580 --> 00:08:55.820 of people. Who all wants to play? I can do 12 00:08:55.820 --> 00:08:59.720 people maximum. If you want to play. All right. 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:04.299 Stand up. Stand up. Stand up. Put your folder 00:09:04.299 --> 00:09:05.919 down. You're going to want your hands free. What 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.139 are you doing with this? Come on, Mike. Come 00:09:08.139 --> 00:09:13.500 on. Come on. I can do up to 12 people. Okay. 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.500 Everybody. Everybody. Yes. I didn't know there 00:09:16.500 --> 00:09:18.779 was a color preference. Next time, close your 00:09:18.779 --> 00:09:20.159 eyes. You won't see the color. I want white. 00:09:20.620 --> 00:09:37.940 Orange. Okay, so here's we're gonna do When I 00:09:37.940 --> 00:09:40.899 say go you're gonna put the ping -pong ball between 00:09:40.899 --> 00:09:45.320 your knees like this You have to hold it and 00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:47.580 then you're gonna go out this room leave this 00:09:47.580 --> 00:09:50.639 room and Touch either door of the multipurpose 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.120 room and be the first one back here. Okay, just 00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.549 spread out give yourself some room You can touch 00:09:55.549 --> 00:09:58.870 either door. If you drop it, you have to stop, 00:09:59.090 --> 00:10:01.710 get the ball back, and go back to the spot that 00:10:01.710 --> 00:10:03.429 you dropped it at and start again. You don't 00:10:03.429 --> 00:10:05.990 come back here. Just wherever you dropped it 00:10:05.990 --> 00:10:14.169 at, you come back to that spot. Remember, there's 00:10:14.169 --> 00:10:15.950 a whole other door that goes where you want to 00:10:15.950 --> 00:10:17.309 go, too, so you don't all have to go to the same 00:10:17.309 --> 00:10:19.789 door. Spread out. The more spread out you are, 00:10:19.870 --> 00:10:21.210 the less likely you are to interfere with each 00:10:21.210 --> 00:10:25.269 other. On your mark. Touch the door of the multi 00:10:25.269 --> 00:10:27.090 -purpose room across the hallway and come back 00:10:27.090 --> 00:10:45.029 to me set go Now you gotta find it hurry up Kyler's 00:10:45.029 --> 00:10:57.340 got his wedged in there She did a very strong 00:10:57.340 --> 00:10:59.440 start.

Don't 00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:08.399 give up. Don't give up. Finish the race. Finish 00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:11.679 the race. All right. Okay, I'll take the ping 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:14.159 pong balls back for now, and we might use them 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:21.980 again. I'll show them. Let's put them in the 00:11:21.980 --> 00:11:26.200 box. Okay. All right. Now, we're going over, 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:27.980 get your papers back, get your papers back. We're 00:11:27.980 --> 00:11:30.220 going over to the right to the book of Psalms. 00:11:31.539 --> 00:11:34.240 Okay? The book of Psalms. And we're going to 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:36.379 randomly draw a question. We may or may not get 00:11:36.379 --> 00:11:38.399 the same questions. Okay? They're different questions. 00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:42.419 I didn't give you a paper. I'm so sorry. I slacked 00:11:42.419 --> 00:11:44.240 off my paper. Sorry. I didn't write anything 00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.940 on my paper yet either. So, let other people 00:11:46.940 --> 00:11:50.779 guess that. Okay. All right. I'm randomly picking 00:11:50.779 --> 00:11:52.820 a question. All right. This is about the book 00:11:52.820 --> 00:11:56.769 of Psalms. Okay? How many letters are in the 00:11:56.769 --> 00:12:01.070 name of the book of Psalms? And how far from 00:12:01.070 --> 00:12:02.970 the front of the Bible is it? And how far from 00:12:02.970 --> 00:12:05.710 the back of the Bible is it? So somebody said 00:12:05.710 --> 00:12:12.629 seven. P -S -A -L -M -S. Six. Psalm six. And 00:12:12.629 --> 00:12:15.289 then how far from the front of the Bible is the 00:12:15.289 --> 00:12:17.250 book of Psalms? And how far from the back is 00:12:17.250 --> 00:12:22.149 it? It's in the middle. Right? Without getting 00:12:22.149 --> 00:12:25.440 any numbers, it's in the middle. You can count 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:27.840 if you wanted to count. You could just put it 00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:30.259 in the middle. By the way, if you take most Bibles, 00:12:30.299 --> 00:12:31.580 if they don't have a lot of notes, if you hold 00:12:31.580 --> 00:12:33.320 the Bible and you split it down the middle, you'll 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.360 be in the book of Psalms. If you have a lot of 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:38.240 notes in the back of the Bible, you might be... 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:42.019 Let's see, which way would that push it? A lot 00:12:42.019 --> 00:12:44.240 of notes back here would push it toward Proverbs. 00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:47.740 You might be in Proverbs. Okay? So then you would 00:12:47.740 --> 00:12:49.480 just think about that. Think about how many letters 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:51.919 there are. Think about where it's located in 00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:54.980 the book, in the Bible. Okay, we got one that 00:12:54.980 --> 00:12:58.360 we repeated. So what color, temperature, or activity 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:00.919 comes to mind when you think about this book? 00:13:02.539 --> 00:13:05.539 Say it again. Pink. Pink. Pink comes to mind. 00:13:05.659 --> 00:13:07.019 You're supposed to be writing these things down, 00:13:07.059 --> 00:13:08.720 Kyler. If your paper is complete at the end, 00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:10.139 you have a chance to win a prize, so you might 00:13:10.139 --> 00:13:16.159 want to pay attention. Bonus points. Okay. So 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.340 I got pink. Anybody got a temperature that goes 00:13:18.340 --> 00:13:24.419 with Psalms? Go ahead. Just a tiny bit chilly, 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.840 basically. Just a tiny bit chilly. Mike said 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.480 cold, fall weather. Okay. So you just write down 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:32.500 what you think. It's your ideas, your thoughts. 00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:34.120 And that's the way meditation works. It's always 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:36.940 what you think of it. It's like you're communicating 00:13:36.940 --> 00:13:39.539 back and forth with God in prayer. But when you're 00:13:39.539 --> 00:13:41.799 meditating, you're working with what you already 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:45.899 know. So notice, by the way, if you would look 00:13:45.899 --> 00:13:49.480 up on the Internet, you'd Google it, and you'd 00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:51.679 say, how far from the front of the Bible is Psalms? 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:53.519 How far from the back of the Bible is Psalms? 00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:55.120 And you write that down, that's not meditation. 00:13:55.899 --> 00:13:59.659 You didn't meditate, you researched it. If you 00:13:59.659 --> 00:14:01.919 bust out your Bible, for example, and you count, 00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:04.100 and I'll use your Bible, then I'll say that's 00:14:04.100 --> 00:14:07.340 probably okay. That's probably still meditation. 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:11.639 Did anybody have a verb that comes to mind when 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.360 they think of the book of Psalms? Say it again. 00:14:16.009 --> 00:14:19.389 A verb? Like an action word? What do you do when 00:14:19.389 --> 00:14:21.090 you think of psalms? I have two that come to 00:14:21.090 --> 00:14:23.490 mind immediately. Singing. Yeah, that's the one 00:14:23.490 --> 00:14:26.809 I was thinking of. Lots of the psalms actually 00:14:26.809 --> 00:14:30.250 are songs from the old temple. That's what lots 00:14:30.250 --> 00:14:33.789 of them are. Reading. Reading is good too. The 00:14:33.789 --> 00:14:37.990 other one is prayers. To pray, a lot of the psalms 00:14:37.990 --> 00:14:41.649 are prayers. Now we've only got one more on psalms. 00:14:41.889 --> 00:14:46.269 Already one more. Alright. So this one's a little 00:14:46.269 --> 00:14:49.230 fun. It says, find a random verse in this book, 00:14:49.350 --> 00:14:52.629 and then consider the four longest and the four 00:14:52.629 --> 00:14:57.370 shortest words. Four shortest other words. Okay, 00:14:57.409 --> 00:15:00.330 so I'll do it. Remember I told you, if you open 00:15:00.330 --> 00:15:02.049 your Bible right to the middle, let's see if 00:15:02.049 --> 00:15:05.809 it works. Oh, nope, I'm in Job. Okay, now I'm 00:15:05.809 --> 00:15:10.789 in Psalms. Okay, so I chose, completely at random, 00:15:10.929 --> 00:15:15.750 Psalm 73 .1. Psalm 731 said, God is indeed good 00:15:15.750 --> 00:15:19.190 to Israel, to the pure in heart. That's what 00:15:19.190 --> 00:15:22.169 Psalm 731 says. So the longest words in this 00:15:22.169 --> 00:15:26.750 are indeed. That's six letters. You write that 00:15:26.750 --> 00:15:33.149 down. Israel is also six letters. And there's 00:15:33.149 --> 00:15:34.970 only one word that has five, and it's heart. 00:15:35.169 --> 00:15:40.259 So you would add indeed, Israel, and heart. That's 00:15:40.259 --> 00:15:44.179 the three longest words. And now we're down to 00:15:44.179 --> 00:15:46.899 four letters. So four letters are two words that 00:15:46.899 --> 00:15:52.940 tie good and pure. So you could write either 00:15:52.940 --> 00:15:55.759 or both of those down if you want. So we have 00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:59.279 the verse again was God is indeed good to Israel 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:02.460 to the pure in heart. And the longest words were 00:16:02.460 --> 00:16:07.980 indeed Israel, heart, good and pure. The shortest 00:16:07.980 --> 00:16:13.230 words. There's no A's. So then we get is, to, 00:16:13.470 --> 00:16:17.629 T -O. There's two of them. T -O twice. And in. 00:16:18.389 --> 00:16:21.610 Is, to, to, in. And you know what's really interesting 00:16:21.610 --> 00:16:23.330 about it? If you can remember all those words, 00:16:23.389 --> 00:16:25.990 you have almost the whole verse. Indeed, good 00:16:25.990 --> 00:16:30.950 Israel, pure heart. Is, to, to, in. And then 00:16:30.950 --> 00:16:32.429 the only other words left in the whole verse 00:16:32.429 --> 00:16:37.210 are God and the. Okay. And that. And we're meditating. 00:16:37.490 --> 00:16:39.639 Okay. And we're done with the book of Psalms 00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:42.179 already. Next activity. Let's see what we get. 00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:46.299 Okay, we've got ball in cup. Starting with the 00:16:46.299 --> 00:16:48.360 youngest people in the room. Who wants to play? 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:51.960 Are you playing? Are you playing or not? You'll 00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:54.480 get the rules if you say yes. Otherwise, you'll 00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:58.399 be a spectator. You don't need the rules until 00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:00.019 I explain the rules. Do you want to play? Come 00:17:00.019 --> 00:17:03.840 on. I can do three pairs. I'll take the two of 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.980 you. I need somebody to be her partner. Come 00:17:06.980 --> 00:17:10.400 on. Hannah. I choose you. You have been chosen. 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:12.859 Like in Pokemon. You are my favorite Pokemon 00:17:12.859 --> 00:17:17.799 of the moment. Okay, come on up here. You're 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:25.960 going to take this with you. You're going to 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:38.849 need this. You're going to need this. Josh, you 00:17:38.849 --> 00:17:41.329 have a lot of points. Okay, here's what you have 00:17:41.329 --> 00:17:45.130 to do. You're going to take the ping pong ball. 00:17:45.750 --> 00:17:47.730 One person has the cup and the other person has 00:17:47.730 --> 00:17:49.430 the ping pong ball. The person with the ball 00:17:49.430 --> 00:17:52.130 bounces the ball. The person with the cup catches 00:17:52.130 --> 00:17:54.690 the ball. Okay, wait a minute. You have to do 00:17:54.690 --> 00:17:57.789 it five times, then switch the cup to the other 00:17:57.789 --> 00:18:00.609 person and do it five times. The first one to 00:18:00.609 --> 00:18:03.589 complete the challenge, that team wins. Here 00:18:03.589 --> 00:18:06.759 you go. Five bounces. It has to be caught. If 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:08.279 you miss it, you've got to keep going until you 00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:12.119 get five times in the cut. Okay? And then switch 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:13.940 the cup to the other person and do five times. 00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:28.000 Ready? On your mark. Get set. Go. Try again. 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:51.359 Oh, it's harder than it looks. One team has five. 00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:55.819 It's a race. Oh, two teams. Nice. Now you're 00:18:55.819 --> 00:19:34.279 rocking. At one point, they got like boom, boom, 00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:36.420 boom. Nicely done. Okay, turn them in, turn them 00:19:36.420 --> 00:19:39.759 in. That was fun. That was good. You guys really 00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:44.420 rock. Hold it out. Hold it out, hold it out. 00:19:44.660 --> 00:19:47.359 Nicely done. Okay, now we're going to do the 00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:50.119 book of Malachi. Now, this is a little less known, 00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:51.880 right? We don't know this book quite as well. 00:19:51.940 --> 00:19:54.720 Would you say that's true? I don't know. Well, 00:19:55.180 --> 00:19:56.619 you should be learning the Bible. That's why 00:19:56.619 --> 00:19:57.819 you're in church. That's one of the reasons why 00:19:57.819 --> 00:19:59.299 you're in this room, so you can pick these things 00:19:59.299 --> 00:20:02.200 up. Okay? All right. So here we go. The book 00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:05.319 of Malachi. The question is, where in God's story 00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:07.960 does this book fit? Aha! That's a tricky one 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:09.440 if we don't know this book very well. Right? 00:20:09.779 --> 00:20:12.779 Does anybody know? Does anybody know where it 00:20:12.779 --> 00:20:14.519 occurs in the Bible? I'll help you out a little 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:17.339 bit. It's a prophet. Malachi's a prophet. Right? 00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:21.519 Yep. So it's the last book of the Old Testament. 00:20:21.660 --> 00:20:25.859 Malachi is. And then the next book after it, 00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:26.980 because you start the New Testament, the first 00:20:26.980 --> 00:20:29.869 book in the New Testament is what? Ariana? First 00:20:29.869 --> 00:20:32.430 book in the New Testament is? Matthew. Matthew, 00:20:32.529 --> 00:20:34.329 all right. So it goes Malachi, then Matthew. 00:20:34.710 --> 00:20:37.690 And I just know, because I've looked at it before, 00:20:37.829 --> 00:20:41.630 there's a 400 -year gap between the book of Malachi 00:20:41.630 --> 00:20:45.789 and the book of Matthew, okay? Now, everything 00:20:45.789 --> 00:20:48.410 that happened in the Old Testament happened before 00:20:48.410 --> 00:20:52.309 that, okay? So the book of Malachi comes after 00:20:52.309 --> 00:20:54.789 everything that's in the Old Testament and before 00:20:54.789 --> 00:20:56.769 everything in the New Testament. So that's your 00:20:56.769 --> 00:20:59.200 answer. So where in God's story does it happen? 00:20:59.299 --> 00:21:01.559 Well, it's the last big thing that happens before 00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:05.220 Jesus is born. Anybody else want to add anything 00:21:05.220 --> 00:21:08.539 to that? Any other thoughts you might have? Malachi 00:21:08.539 --> 00:21:12.420 does prophecy about the birth of Christ. It tells 00:21:12.420 --> 00:21:14.859 that it's going to happen. And then there are 00:21:14.859 --> 00:21:19.079 no more prophets until the lifetime of Jesus. 00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:23.960 Okay, here we go. Okay, well, the first part 00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:26.930 of this is super easy. Who wrote it and why? 00:21:27.250 --> 00:21:32.130 Who wrote it? Jeremiah. No. Go ahead. Malachi. 00:21:32.230 --> 00:21:35.529 Malachi, right. It's because he was a prophet. 00:21:36.029 --> 00:21:38.329 Okay, yeah, you could put that. That would be 00:21:38.329 --> 00:21:41.829 a true answer, right? Malachi. You name it a 00:21:41.829 --> 00:21:45.029 book, it's Malachi. And Malachi wrote it. So 00:21:45.029 --> 00:21:51.630 who wrote it? Malachi. Okay. So Malachi wrote 00:21:51.630 --> 00:21:55.039 the book. did the preaching that was included 00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:58.559 in the book because the people were in sin. He 00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:00.440 was calling them back to righteousness. He was 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:02.740 calling them back to be right. And the book is 00:22:02.740 --> 00:22:05.039 a lot about that. They were robbing God of the 00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:07.700 tithes and offerings. They were mistreating their 00:22:07.700 --> 00:22:10.380 wives. They were marrying people they weren't 00:22:10.380 --> 00:22:12.079 supposed to. They were doing a lot of bad things, 00:22:12.299 --> 00:22:15.200 worshiping false gods. And Malachi was telling 00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:17.279 them, don't do that because God's going to send 00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:20.759 a judge, a proper right judge, and we're going 00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:24.430 to pay for it. Okay? All right, one more. Randomly, 00:22:24.430 --> 00:22:29.890 not even looking. What does the name of the book 00:22:29.890 --> 00:22:31.950 tell us about the book? Oh, that was an easy 00:22:31.950 --> 00:22:34.630 one. So we already know. Go ahead. Who wrote 00:22:34.630 --> 00:22:36.730 it? It tells us who wrote it. That's right. Very 00:22:36.730 --> 00:22:40.289 good. Nicely done, Kyler. Okay, that was an easy 00:22:40.289 --> 00:22:43.289 one. Okay, that was so easy. We're going to go 00:22:43.289 --> 00:22:45.150 right on to the book of Judges, and then we'll 00:22:45.150 --> 00:22:48.329 do a game after that. Yep. We're going really 00:22:48.329 --> 00:22:50.250 fast, so we'll do the Book of Judges, and then 00:22:50.250 --> 00:22:51.670 we'll do a game. The last three are going to 00:22:51.670 --> 00:22:56.630 be a little longer. Book of Judges. Okay, so 00:22:56.630 --> 00:22:58.630 do you know any more about this one than you 00:22:58.630 --> 00:23:01.509 did about Malachi? Those of you who have been 00:23:01.509 --> 00:23:04.089 here on Sunday, everything we've been doing has 00:23:04.089 --> 00:23:05.670 been in the Book of Judges since we got back 00:23:05.670 --> 00:23:07.910 to it after Christmas. Randomly picking one. 00:23:08.710 --> 00:23:11.990 Okay, what color, temperature, or activity, pick 00:23:11.990 --> 00:23:14.450 a verb, comes to mind when you think about this 00:23:14.450 --> 00:23:18.480 book? Mahogany. Mahogany, white. Orange. Orange, 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:23.140 okay. All right. How about a verb? By the way, 00:23:23.180 --> 00:23:28.839 to judge is a verb. Judging. Judging, yeah. Go 00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:32.359 ahead. Judge. Yep, there you go. Anything else? 00:23:32.660 --> 00:23:36.279 The only thing that comes to mind with a verb 00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:38.119 that comes to mind for me when I think of judges 00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:41.279 is fight. The book of Judges has a lot of fighting 00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:44.200 in it. Yeah. The judges, most of the judges were 00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:47.500 military leaders. Who's the most famous judge, 00:23:47.660 --> 00:23:51.160 just out of curiosity? Anybody think of one? 00:23:53.339 --> 00:23:58.259 Talk about it in the Bible, dude. God said Gideon 00:23:58.259 --> 00:24:00.240 or Samson. You know Samson, right? Everybody's 00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.819 heard the name Samson. So Samson is probably 00:24:03.819 --> 00:24:05.819 one of the most famous. Gideon's very, very famous. 00:24:06.140 --> 00:24:08.619 Gideon had an army of 20 ,000 men, and God withered 00:24:08.619 --> 00:24:10.640 it down to 300. That's the guy we're studying 00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:12.740 right now on Sunday is Gideon. In fact, this 00:24:12.740 --> 00:24:16.140 coming Sunday, he's going to die. The end of 00:24:16.140 --> 00:24:20.799 him. Yeah, well, I mean, it's in the Bible, so 00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:25.119 really no surprise. All right, write it down. 00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:29.220 Okay, here we go. Find a random verse in this 00:24:29.220 --> 00:24:31.200 book and consider the four longest and the four 00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:36.180 shortest words. Okay, here we go. Judges. Judges. 00:24:37.819 --> 00:24:45.900 Judges 3. Okay, it says in Judges 3, 1. These 00:24:45.900 --> 00:24:49.480 are the nations the Lord left in order to test 00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:52.859 Israel, since the Israelites had fought none 00:24:52.859 --> 00:24:56.019 of these in any of the wars with Canaan. That's 00:24:56.019 --> 00:24:59.599 a pretty long verse. Okay. So Israelites is the 00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:05.440 longest word. I -S -R -A -E -L. Like Israel. 00:25:05.579 --> 00:25:10.400 I -S -R -A -E -L. Ites. I -T -E -S. Israelites. 00:25:12.099 --> 00:25:17.630 Okay. And then... nations, N -A -T -I -O -N -S. 00:25:20.869 --> 00:25:28.990 And then we have a tie between Israel, Canaan, 00:25:29.029 --> 00:25:32.369 and Thot. All of those are six letters. You can 00:25:32.369 --> 00:25:34.549 pick any one you want. Or two, actually. Any 00:25:34.549 --> 00:25:36.210 two of those you want. Or you can write them 00:25:36.210 --> 00:25:39.529 all down if you want. Be an overachiever. Israel. 00:25:43.049 --> 00:25:46.609 nation, I'm sorry, Israel fought, F -O -U -G 00:25:46.609 --> 00:25:52.890 -H -T, and Canaan, C -A -N -A -A -N. Okay? And 00:25:52.890 --> 00:25:54.710 then the shortest words, not a lot of really 00:25:54.710 --> 00:25:59.650 short words, we've got in, I -N, to, T -O, of, 00:25:59.789 --> 00:26:02.230 O -F, and we have two of those, there's two ofs, 00:26:02.230 --> 00:26:07.210 and one in. Okay? So again, You wouldn't necessarily 00:26:07.210 --> 00:26:09.210 normally have to write anything down if you were 00:26:09.210 --> 00:26:11.190 meditating on that verse. You'd just think about 00:26:11.190 --> 00:26:13.710 what we just said. And if you think about the 00:26:13.710 --> 00:26:15.349 word Israelites, well, that should mean to you 00:26:15.349 --> 00:26:18.269 that's God's people. The nation Israel, that's 00:26:18.269 --> 00:26:19.670 what they're called, and they're Israelites because 00:26:19.670 --> 00:26:23.029 they're of that nation. The nations, that means 00:26:23.029 --> 00:26:26.849 there's multiple countries. They fought. There's 00:26:26.849 --> 00:26:30.049 my verb in the past tense, but there it is. So 00:26:30.049 --> 00:26:31.809 you just think about what those things mean. 00:26:34.560 --> 00:26:37.799 And we've got one left. I'm not looking. Some 00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:39.720 of these we haven't even seen yet. Let's see. 00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:45.539 What is a conflict in the book? If you were paying 00:26:45.539 --> 00:26:47.440 attention, I just gave it to you. It was in the 00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:51.079 verse. What is a conflict in the verse? Okay. 00:26:51.299 --> 00:26:53.420 God said Samson and the Philistines. That comes 00:26:53.420 --> 00:26:55.900 to mind for him. Yeah, Samson beat the snot out 00:26:55.900 --> 00:26:58.519 of the Philistines. God gave him warrior powers 00:26:58.519 --> 00:27:02.630 and kicked their butt. Samson and Delilah, that's 00:27:02.630 --> 00:27:04.390 a different kind of conflict, but yes, that is 00:27:04.390 --> 00:27:09.269 a conflict. That's right. Delilah was basically 00:27:09.269 --> 00:27:13.670 his love interest, or he was passionate about 00:27:13.670 --> 00:27:16.930 her, and she eventually tricked him. She tried 00:27:16.930 --> 00:27:18.430 really hard for a while and failed, and then 00:27:18.430 --> 00:27:20.190 she eventually tricked him into telling him that 00:27:20.190 --> 00:27:22.190 if his hair was cut, he would lose his strength. 00:27:22.650 --> 00:27:25.109 That's the story of Samson. Anybody else have 00:27:25.109 --> 00:27:26.750 a different conflict in the book of Judges that 00:27:26.750 --> 00:27:31.680 you might want to write down? In this sermon 00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:34.140 that we just had this last Sunday, Gideon collected 00:27:34.140 --> 00:27:36.779 earrings from the people that they had defeated, 00:27:36.940 --> 00:27:38.200 which were the Ishmaelites. You don't have to 00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:39.940 remember that. But because he collected the earrings 00:27:39.940 --> 00:27:43.880 and made an ephod, then his whole family went 00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:49.059 into idolatry. So that's a conflict. And you 00:27:49.059 --> 00:27:52.039 might have others. Somebody trying to be king. 00:27:52.220 --> 00:27:55.400 That happened a couple of times. Okay, that's 00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:57.059 the book of Judges. We're going to play a game. 00:27:57.099 --> 00:28:01.670 Let's see what we get. All right. Let's see here. 00:28:03.329 --> 00:28:09.049 Okay. Let's see. How many cups do we have? One, 00:28:09.089 --> 00:28:15.849 two, three, four, five. Plenty of cups. As many 00:28:15.849 --> 00:28:17.569 people want to play as they want to play. Who 00:28:17.569 --> 00:28:34.500 wants to play? Come get a cup. Anybody else? 00:28:36.500 --> 00:28:42.680 Nice try. So the trick is you're not allowed 00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:46.660 to drop the cup. Oh, you did. Sorry. Anybody 00:28:46.660 --> 00:28:49.740 else? All right, here we go. You're going to 00:28:49.740 --> 00:28:52.880 lie down on the floor. Find space. Find space. 00:28:52.980 --> 00:28:58.240 Lie down on the floor. You're going to balance 00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:04.759 the cup on your forehead. Either way, however 00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:12.680 you want. That's not nice. It doesn't matter. 00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:16.059 You're going to do five sit -ups without dropping 00:29:16.059 --> 00:29:20.240 the cup. If you drop the cup, start over on that 00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:25.390 particular sit -up. It's not my problem. It must 00:29:25.390 --> 00:29:27.049 be doable, otherwise it wouldn't be in the game. 00:29:27.750 --> 00:29:30.910 Okay. You know how? The question is whether you 00:29:30.910 --> 00:29:32.309 can do them without dropping the cup. That's 00:29:32.309 --> 00:29:35.829 the question, right? Everyone plays at the same 00:29:35.829 --> 00:29:45.789 time. First one to get five setups wins. Hang 00:29:45.789 --> 00:29:50.089 on. We're adding a player. There's a way. There's 00:29:50.089 --> 00:29:55.339 a way. There's a way. There's a way. Yeah, you 00:29:55.339 --> 00:29:57.539 cannot balancing the cup says you can't hold 00:29:57.539 --> 00:30:03.779 it ready set go He's got one Mike's got none 00:30:03.779 --> 00:30:11.319 start over I've got two somebody's got two. Oh 00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:15.559 I got one That's two. Sorry. Oh, she's got this 00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:18.859 going on up here. Look at this How many got Haley? 00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:23.640 It's gonna be close She beat you by half a second. 00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:25.440 Who's the next person? Who's the next person? 00:30:25.740 --> 00:30:29.559 You got it? I got it. He got it. I figured it 00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:33.059 out. Everybody's got it now. Did you get it, 00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:35.779 Kyler? No. Okay. All right. Bring the cups back 00:30:35.779 --> 00:30:39.119 to the front. It's all right. It's all right. 00:30:39.140 --> 00:30:43.140 It's all fun. Bring them up here. I got it last 00:30:43.140 --> 00:30:47.680 minute. That was good. All right. I got it last 00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:54.319 minute. That was good. Okay. It's all fun. All 00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:57.440 right. So now we're going to look at verses. 00:30:57.740 --> 00:31:02.980 Okay. So our first verse is Psalm 1, 2. Psalm 00:31:02.980 --> 00:31:10.599 1, verse 2. Psalm 1, verse 2. Okay. It said, 00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:14.720 instead, his delight is in the Lord's instruction, 00:31:14.900 --> 00:31:18.299 and he meditates on it day and night. I'll read 00:31:18.299 --> 00:31:21.579 it again. It says, instead, his delight. So this 00:31:21.579 --> 00:31:24.950 is the person. The person who follows God, basically, 00:31:24.970 --> 00:31:27.650 the person who believes in the Lord. His delight 00:31:27.650 --> 00:31:31.289 is in the Lord's instruction, and he meditates 00:31:31.289 --> 00:31:33.789 on it day and night. That's the verse, okay? 00:31:33.930 --> 00:31:35.789 Now, we have different questions for the verses. 00:31:37.609 --> 00:31:42.289 Also, some of the questions are artistic. Yes. 00:31:43.210 --> 00:31:47.509 His, instead, comma, his delight is in the Lord's 00:31:47.509 --> 00:31:50.890 instruction, and he meditates on it day and night. 00:31:52.800 --> 00:31:54.960 Which you know why I chose that version out, 00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:58.319 don't you? Yes. Because it's a verse about meditating. 00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:04.400 That's why. I got one. You will run out of space 00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:07.940 if you write large. Fill that box up. All right, 00:32:07.940 --> 00:32:16.099 here we go. Okay. What does... You can pick something 00:32:16.099 --> 00:32:18.819 of what we're talking about right now. Those 00:32:18.819 --> 00:32:22.039 right here in this box. Okay. I'm going to give 00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:24.059 you what to write right now. Okay. What does 00:32:24.059 --> 00:32:27.559 this verse say about God? What does the verse 00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:34.519 say about God? God gives instructions. That's 00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:36.500 true. It does say that. Okay. So you could write 00:32:36.500 --> 00:32:38.839 that. Or if you're meditating, you could think 00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:41.259 that. Right? It says that God gives instructions. 00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:48.000 What else does it say? Anything else? Okay. We're 00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:52.140 going to go to the next one. Is there a body 00:32:52.140 --> 00:32:56.079 part mentioned in this verse? I'll read the verse 00:32:56.079 --> 00:33:01.980 again. Instead, his delight is in the Lord's 00:33:01.980 --> 00:33:04.960 instruction and he meditates on it day and night. 00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:09.579 Okay. He says nervous system. That's the body 00:33:09.579 --> 00:33:13.259 part. The brain. I agree completely. The brain. 00:33:13.299 --> 00:33:21.460 That's the body part. Okay. Going on. What is 00:33:21.460 --> 00:33:26.579 the big idea? Mike says meditation. I tend to 00:33:26.579 --> 00:33:29.640 agree. I also think there's something in there 00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:33.880 about desire, like what you want, like delighting 00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:35.940 in and meditating on the word. So it's like, 00:33:35.980 --> 00:33:40.240 it's good stuff. Two more and we'll move on. 00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:49.000 Then we'll play a game. In this verse, who is 00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:52.769 talking? To who? Is it to who or to whom? To 00:33:52.769 --> 00:33:56.970 whom? Who is talking to whom? In this verse. 00:33:59.109 --> 00:34:02.109 So the person talking is the psalmist, right? 00:34:02.170 --> 00:34:04.369 That's who's writing it. We don't for sure know 00:34:04.369 --> 00:34:08.710 who wrote it. Is God talking to us? I think so. 00:34:08.909 --> 00:34:12.670 Say it again. God is talking. I agree. Yeah, 00:34:12.670 --> 00:34:14.730 you can put that. I think both those things are 00:34:14.730 --> 00:34:18.090 true. Good. And that's how meditation is done. 00:34:18.550 --> 00:34:21.190 One left. Last one on this verse, then again. 00:34:22.949 --> 00:34:26.489 When you read this verse, is there a happy or 00:34:26.489 --> 00:34:29.250 a sad feeling? Do you get a happy feeling or 00:34:29.250 --> 00:34:38.250 a sad feeling? Okay. And I think it would be 00:34:38.250 --> 00:34:41.809 if you love God and you're delighting in his 00:34:41.809 --> 00:34:43.789 word and you're meditating on his word, then 00:34:43.789 --> 00:34:45.849 yeah, I think it would be happy. But if you don't 00:34:45.849 --> 00:34:50.699 love God, maybe not. You know, or if you say 00:34:50.699 --> 00:34:52.760 you love God, but you're not actually delighting 00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:54.639 in his word or meditating on his word, that seems 00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:57.139 kind of sad. All right. Okay. That was all of 00:34:57.139 --> 00:34:59.820 those. Let's see what we've got here in the game 00:34:59.820 --> 00:35:03.860 stack. Okay. All right. How many dice do we have? 00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:11.300 I've got 12. No, I've got 10 dice. I can have 00:35:11.300 --> 00:35:15.440 10 players. If you're playing, come get one dice. 00:35:16.389 --> 00:35:30.429 They're all red and blue. Does everyone have 00:35:30.429 --> 00:35:34.530 a dice spread out? You playing, Kyler? Taking 00:35:34.530 --> 00:35:39.449 a break? Okay. Okay, you're going to lie down 00:35:39.449 --> 00:35:43.010 on the floor. Oops. Again. Again with the on 00:35:43.010 --> 00:35:49.659 the floor thing. All right. You're going to balance 00:35:49.659 --> 00:35:52.039 the die on your forehead again. Like the cup. 00:35:52.980 --> 00:35:58.760 Okay. Nope. And then you need to stand up, completely 00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:02.280 up, without the die falling. If it falls, you 00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:04.300 have to start over. You have one minute to succeed. 00:36:05.860 --> 00:36:08.719 And you wear a forehead crown on your head, whatever. 00:36:09.340 --> 00:36:17.340 It says forehead specifically. On your mark. 00:36:17.969 --> 00:36:22.289 Get set. Go. You have one minute. Nope. Start 00:36:22.289 --> 00:36:26.869 over. You got it. Anybody else? There it is. 00:36:28.670 --> 00:36:35.690 River's still trying. Awesome. Right here. Got 00:36:35.690 --> 00:36:42.489 about 20 seconds left. 20 to 30 seconds. You 00:36:42.489 --> 00:36:47.019 can do it, River. No, you can't do it. Not that 00:36:47.019 --> 00:36:52.320 time anyway. Don't lose my dice. Don't shake 00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:58.500 your head. Oh yeah, you got that. Ten. Nine. 00:37:00.860 --> 00:37:06.480 Eight. Seven. It's like I will not give up. Five. 00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:18.090 Four. I said, okay, put the dice in the cup and 00:37:18.090 --> 00:37:26.289 find that one. Aria was the fastest stander -upper. 00:37:26.429 --> 00:37:31.690 I only have six. One more dice somewhere. Do 00:37:31.690 --> 00:37:33.090 we need to use them all? So it should be one 00:37:33.090 --> 00:37:36.449 more dice. One more. Got it? Thank you, sir. 00:37:36.510 --> 00:37:46.869 Very good. I think we got it now. Yes, we have 00:37:46.869 --> 00:37:52.989 them all. Okay, that was fun. Alright, Psalm 00:37:52.989 --> 00:37:59.789 7712. Psalm 7712. I forgot to get a video that 00:37:59.789 --> 00:38:06.510 time. Psalm 7712. Psalm 7712 says, I will reflect 00:38:06.510 --> 00:38:11.329 on all you have done and meditate on your actions. 00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:14.940 I will reflect on all you have done and meditate 00:38:14.940 --> 00:38:17.360 on your actions. Now, here's a question for you, 00:38:17.380 --> 00:38:19.400 Kyler. See if you know the answer to this question. 00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:22.519 When I read this verse, I says, I will reflect 00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:25.480 on all you have done and meditate on your actions. 00:38:25.500 --> 00:38:28.519 Both the you and the your are capitalized. Why 00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:32.619 do you think that might be? Any idea? Want to 00:38:32.619 --> 00:38:36.019 phone a friend? Want to pick somebody to guess? 00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:40.960 No, you don't want to? Okay. Ariana, go ahead. 00:38:41.369 --> 00:38:43.409 Because it's talking about a person, it's talking 00:38:43.409 --> 00:38:46.650 about us. Not talking about us. If it was talking 00:38:46.650 --> 00:38:48.369 about us, it would not be capitalized. When I 00:38:48.369 --> 00:38:50.469 say I love you, I don't capitalize the Y unless 00:38:50.469 --> 00:38:54.590 I'm capitalizing it like all cats. So, go ahead. 00:38:57.130 --> 00:38:59.489 Capital pronouns refer to God, right? So the 00:38:59.489 --> 00:39:02.269 you and the your in this verse are talking about 00:39:02.269 --> 00:39:06.030 God. So it says, I will reflect on all you, that's 00:39:06.030 --> 00:39:09.610 God, have done and meditate on your, that's God, 00:39:09.670 --> 00:39:12.429 actions. All right. So we're going to meditate 00:39:12.429 --> 00:39:15.710 on all that God has done and his actions. And 00:39:15.710 --> 00:39:17.809 then we're going to look at the verses, meditation 00:39:17.809 --> 00:39:24.590 words here. Shuffling them back in, randomizing. 00:39:26.440 --> 00:39:29.380 And the question is, oh, this is an activity. 00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:35.219 On your paper, draw a pair of shoes looking at 00:39:35.219 --> 00:39:39.780 a cross. On your paper, anywhere you want, draw 00:39:39.780 --> 00:39:46.860 a pair of shoes looking at a cross. Do I have 00:39:46.860 --> 00:39:49.699 to draw the cross on the paper, too? I would. 00:39:49.820 --> 00:39:51.239 I think so. Otherwise, how would you know what 00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:59.769 they're looking at? Does it say it? Nope. That's 00:39:59.769 --> 00:40:03.550 your thing, I guess. This paper does not say. 00:40:03.670 --> 00:40:05.769 I think my original notes said running shoes, 00:40:05.869 --> 00:40:12.949 but it doesn't matter. Shoes are shoes. Shoes 00:40:12.949 --> 00:40:16.130 looking at a cross. About ten more seconds on 00:40:16.130 --> 00:40:19.650 your shoes looking at a cross. Now here's one 00:40:19.650 --> 00:40:22.329 of the beautiful things. About five more seconds. 00:40:23.010 --> 00:40:31.380 A sketch. A drawing, a cartoon, painting, anything 00:40:31.380 --> 00:40:33.320 that you can make a picture of what's in your 00:40:33.320 --> 00:40:37.880 head are great tools to use for meditation. Actually, 00:40:37.940 --> 00:40:41.360 I could argue, and I think a lot of psychologists 00:40:41.360 --> 00:40:44.320 and sociologists would actually agree with me. 00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:47.519 that when people get a lot of benefit out of 00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:50.019 doing arts and crafts, one of the reasons, not 00:40:50.019 --> 00:40:51.780 the only reason, but one of the reasons that 00:40:51.780 --> 00:40:53.179 they get a lot of benefit out of it is because 00:40:53.179 --> 00:40:57.920 it is very similar to meditation. You can, while 00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:01.699 you're doing your arts and crafts, focus on the 00:41:01.699 --> 00:41:03.739 other part of your mind that's not necessarily 00:41:03.739 --> 00:41:06.440 thinking about whatever, or you can choose to 00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:08.000 think about nothing else and just think about 00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:10.019 your arts and crafts. Both of those things are 00:41:10.019 --> 00:41:12.599 really good for your mind. So a lot of arts and 00:41:12.599 --> 00:41:14.960 crafts are used in meditation and psychology 00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:17.760 and sociology and counseling and stuff like that. 00:41:18.199 --> 00:41:20.739 So that sketch you just did probably says a lot 00:41:20.739 --> 00:41:22.940 to you about the fact that we're running toward 00:41:22.940 --> 00:41:25.139 God, focusing on God, that kind of thing. All 00:41:25.139 --> 00:41:26.559 right, now we're going to... Oh, we got another 00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:28.880 drawing one. Oh, that's fun. Okay, now you're 00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:31.820 going to draw a thought bubble with a lightning 00:41:31.820 --> 00:41:33.619 bolt. You know what a thought bubble is? That's 00:41:33.619 --> 00:41:35.679 like in the cartoons. A thought bubble with a 00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:42.110 lightning bolt. That. Like the flash, like the 00:41:42.110 --> 00:41:46.369 flash has. Thought bubble with a lightning bolt. 00:41:49.110 --> 00:41:54.429 A bubble? Yeah. Yeah, like a thought bubble, 00:41:54.489 --> 00:41:56.210 like from a cartoon where they put the words. 00:41:56.849 --> 00:41:59.349 I actually did it above the person. That's fine. 00:42:00.710 --> 00:42:09.550 Thought bubble with a lightning bolt. We have 00:42:09.550 --> 00:42:11.349 one activity left that we've got to get through 00:42:11.349 --> 00:42:15.789 at the end. All right. We need two more on this 00:42:15.789 --> 00:42:19.090 verse yet. The next meditation question on this 00:42:19.090 --> 00:42:22.210 verse is, what is the big idea of this verse? 00:42:22.929 --> 00:42:27.010 What is the big idea? The reference was Psalm 00:42:27.010 --> 00:42:30.909 77, 12, and it says, I will reflect on all you 00:42:30.909 --> 00:42:34.070 have done and meditate on your actions. Talking 00:42:34.070 --> 00:42:36.550 about what God has done and his actions. So what's 00:42:36.550 --> 00:42:41.269 the big idea? Okay, he says drawing inspiration 00:42:41.269 --> 00:42:44.750 from God's, did you say word or work? Either 00:42:44.750 --> 00:42:47.909 way works, yeah. So drawing inspiration, he said 00:42:47.909 --> 00:42:49.730 drawing inspiration from God's word or work. 00:42:49.949 --> 00:42:53.670 Anybody else have another thought on what the 00:42:53.670 --> 00:42:58.369 big idea of this verse is to them? To you? I'll 00:42:58.369 --> 00:42:59.710 tell you, when I looked at it, one of the things 00:42:59.710 --> 00:43:01.710 that struck me was that it's about what God has 00:43:01.710 --> 00:43:06.090 done. So a lot of people in the world, it's all 00:43:06.090 --> 00:43:08.340 about what they read. It's not necessarily really 00:43:08.340 --> 00:43:10.219 wrong with that, because this is really important 00:43:10.219 --> 00:43:12.980 stuff that you read in here. But 1 John 1 .3, 00:43:13.019 --> 00:43:15.500 I'll be just a second. 1 John 1 .3 says, we proclaim 00:43:15.500 --> 00:43:19.559 what we have seen and heard, right? So what have 00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:21.539 we seen and heard? We have seen and heard what 00:43:21.539 --> 00:43:23.920 God has done, not just what his word says, but 00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:25.420 also what he has done. So that's pretty important 00:43:25.420 --> 00:43:27.260 to me. Go ahead. Could it be drawing how you 00:43:27.260 --> 00:43:30.639 feel? Yes, drawing how you feel from what you 00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:33.500 know about God, from, yes, yeah, what you've 00:43:33.500 --> 00:43:35.820 seen and heard. Yep, absolutely. I agree with 00:43:35.820 --> 00:43:41.320 that. And again, these are your meditations. 00:43:41.420 --> 00:43:44.119 So one of the beauties of this is no two people 00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:47.260 will ever meditate the same as long as they actually 00:43:47.260 --> 00:43:49.460 do it for a minute and take it seriously. No 00:43:49.460 --> 00:43:51.880 one's going to come. Your identical twin born 00:43:51.880 --> 00:43:54.860 in the same 60 seconds you were would still not 00:43:54.860 --> 00:43:57.340 have the same answers as you. Your meditations 00:43:57.340 --> 00:44:00.559 are important. One left. All right. How many 00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:05.139 words are in this verse? Verbs, nouns, and commands. 00:44:05.579 --> 00:44:09.480 Okay. That's a doozy. Okay. So words. 7, 12. 00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:15.679 There are 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. 00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:18.519 There are 13 words. You can write down 13 words. 00:44:19.659 --> 00:44:21.400 Notice that if you use a different translation, 00:44:21.500 --> 00:44:23.980 that number may not be exactly the same, right? 00:44:24.039 --> 00:44:28.460 They do vary a little bit, okay? Now verbs. So 00:44:28.460 --> 00:44:32.260 the verbs are reflect, and to reflect on something 00:44:32.260 --> 00:44:35.760 is to think about it, right? Or I like what Nancy 00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:39.210 said, draw. your feelings from it or draw what 00:44:39.210 --> 00:44:43.989 you think about it i will reflect done d -o -n 00:44:43.989 --> 00:44:47.110 -e is a verb it just means he did it past tense 00:44:47.110 --> 00:44:51.030 and meditate are all verbs those are our verbs 00:44:51.030 --> 00:44:59.730 or reflect done meditate okay all right and then 00:44:59.730 --> 00:45:04.650 the nouns so i is not a noun i is a pronoun okay 00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:08.420 I will reflect on all you have done and meditate 00:45:08.420 --> 00:45:12.719 on your actions. So if I have my words, my English 00:45:12.719 --> 00:45:16.679 correct actions is the only noun. I will reflect 00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:19.260 on all you have done and meditate on your actions. 00:45:19.579 --> 00:45:22.460 That sound right to you, Josh? Your translation, 00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:27.340 sure. Yes. Okay. Sounds good. And then commands, 00:45:27.539 --> 00:45:30.099 I don't really think that there is a command 00:45:30.099 --> 00:45:32.199 there, although you could draw from it that you 00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:34.659 should reflect, right? that you should reflect 00:45:34.659 --> 00:45:37.159 and meditate. Do we have one left or was that 00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:42.920 the last one? Well, one left. Last one. Randomly 00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:48.579 picking. Okay. If I do this thing, if I do what's 00:45:48.579 --> 00:45:51.579 in here, what will happen? What will happen if 00:45:51.579 --> 00:45:56.420 I do what the verse is saying? What do you think? 00:45:56.760 --> 00:45:59.460 Go ahead. Good things will come to you. Good. 00:45:59.579 --> 00:46:03.400 That would be a great answer. What else? Could 00:46:03.400 --> 00:46:05.639 learn a lot. Yeah, you grow as a person. Learn 00:46:05.639 --> 00:46:09.500 and grow. Say it again. Yeah, you would be listening 00:46:09.500 --> 00:46:12.219 to God. That's good. In fact, I think that these 00:46:12.219 --> 00:46:15.500 are two essential things to listen to God. And 00:46:15.500 --> 00:46:20.519 sometimes people miss them. Anything else? Well, 00:46:20.619 --> 00:46:22.360 all those sounded like good things. I don't think 00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:26.420 there are any bad things, right? Okay. We need 00:46:26.420 --> 00:46:28.880 a game. And then we have one verse left. Almost 00:46:28.880 --> 00:46:37.889 there. Okay. Okay. We only need two people this 00:46:37.889 --> 00:46:39.929 time, starting with the youngest. Starting with 00:46:39.929 --> 00:46:42.670 the youngest. River's in. No, who's the other 00:46:42.670 --> 00:46:43.750 person? You don't have to. You don't want to. 00:46:44.150 --> 00:46:47.210 Okay. When's your birthday? May. May. When's 00:46:47.210 --> 00:46:58.530 your birthday? May what? 2016. I'm 2014. 2014. 00:46:59.010 --> 00:47:03.570 2014. And hers is the third. And hers is the... 00:47:03.570 --> 00:47:05.409 And yours is definitely the oldest. And hers 00:47:05.409 --> 00:47:08.429 is the 25th. So you're the next youngest. You 00:47:08.429 --> 00:47:10.090 want to play? Yeah. All right. Come up here. 00:47:11.010 --> 00:47:21.230 Okay. All right. So you need a spoon. Oh, guess 00:47:21.230 --> 00:47:24.789 what? I have one extra. Come on. You can play. 00:47:24.809 --> 00:47:48.340 I got one extra. Okay, I'm gonna give each of 00:47:48.340 --> 00:48:05.989 you three dice Okay. Three. Okay, I got a five. 00:48:08.730 --> 00:48:17.090 Okay. That sucked. Alright, so here's what we're 00:48:17.090 --> 00:48:22.050 going to do. When I say go, you're going to balance 00:48:22.050 --> 00:48:24.969 the dice one on top of the other. Start with 00:48:24.969 --> 00:48:27.449 them in the spoon, then start in your hand. On 00:48:27.449 --> 00:48:30.980 the spoon with the spoon in your mouth. Okay. 00:48:30.980 --> 00:48:35.440 You have to complete one lap around the room 00:48:35.440 --> 00:48:37.500 and back to this spot. You can go either direction. 00:48:37.619 --> 00:48:39.780 Just be careful. Don't bump each other. You'll 00:48:39.780 --> 00:48:42.519 be like that in the spoon. You're going to put 00:48:42.519 --> 00:48:45.079 the spoon in your mouth, then put the dice on 00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:48.179 it. Not yet. You got the right idea, but you 00:48:48.179 --> 00:48:51.119 can't do it yet. Okay. And then you go one lap 00:48:51.119 --> 00:48:53.659 around and come back to this spot. You have one 00:48:53.659 --> 00:48:55.659 minute to succeed. The first one who succeeds 00:48:55.659 --> 00:48:59.829 wins. You can't start with them stacked. You 00:48:59.829 --> 00:49:00.869 have to start with them in your hand. Sorry. 00:49:01.369 --> 00:49:04.110 Stacking is part of the minute. On your mark. 00:49:05.190 --> 00:49:11.150 Get set. Go. They're stacking. Still stacking. 00:49:12.789 --> 00:49:21.150 She got one whole stack there. Around the back 00:49:21.150 --> 00:49:33.630 and back up the other aisle. I didn't invent 00:49:33.630 --> 00:49:38.909 the game. Still got 40 seconds. If there's any 00:49:38.909 --> 00:49:41.610 indicator, I'll bet you you'll figure out the 00:49:41.610 --> 00:49:44.130 next. Oh, she's got it. Oh, she had it. She got 00:49:44.130 --> 00:49:47.550 three whole steps in. Ariana's making progress. 00:49:49.469 --> 00:49:51.050 That's what Ariana said right before she figured 00:49:51.050 --> 00:49:53.179 it out. So I think you got it. You must be really 00:49:53.179 --> 00:49:59.380 close. You got it. Take your time. Nice. Nice. 00:50:03.300 --> 00:50:06.380 She's halfway. She's halfway. She survived the 00:50:06.380 --> 00:50:08.840 Josh barrier. Oh, you're about to be passed. 00:50:09.300 --> 00:50:14.000 She's going to pass you on the right. Oh, no, 00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:15.239 she's not going to pass you. She dropped the 00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:43.630 dice. There will be no wrestling! There will 00:50:43.630 --> 00:50:58.639 be no wrestling allowed! passed you when you 00:50:58.639 --> 00:51:00.340 dropped the dice. So once she passed you, if 00:51:00.340 --> 00:51:01.659 she didn't drop the dice, she was probably going 00:51:01.659 --> 00:51:07.480 to finish first. Are you going to take it back 00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:08.960 when I put my mouth open? Yes, I am. I'm going 00:51:08.960 --> 00:51:11.599 to wash them. We will not play another game that 00:51:11.599 --> 00:51:13.059 requires you to put a spoon in your mouth, right? 00:51:13.820 --> 00:51:28.820 I guarantee that. Hebrews 12 .3. They both did 00:51:28.820 --> 00:51:34.420 awesome. Being overly competitive in life is 00:51:34.420 --> 00:51:37.039 never beneficial, trust me. Then tell us if Josh, 00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:45.400 he cheated. He just played. All right. Hebrews 00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:49.960 12 .3, our last one then. Okay, Hebrews 12 .3 00:51:49.960 --> 00:51:54.059 says this. It says, for consider him, consider 00:51:54.059 --> 00:51:58.900 him. who endured such hostility from sinners 00:51:58.900 --> 00:52:02.840 against himself, so that you won't grow weary 00:52:02.840 --> 00:52:08.920 and lose heart. For consider him who endured 00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:12.280 such hostility from sinners against himself, 00:52:12.360 --> 00:52:14.880 that himself and him are both capitalized. So 00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:17.840 what's that tell us, Kyler? What do you think? 00:52:18.420 --> 00:52:21.980 They're both capitals. They're God. Yes, talking 00:52:21.980 --> 00:52:23.840 about God. In this case, specifically, Jesus. 00:52:24.559 --> 00:52:27.219 For consider him who endured such hostility from 00:52:27.219 --> 00:52:29.980 sinners against himself, so that you won't grow 00:52:29.980 --> 00:52:36.980 weary and lose heart. That's the verse. Endured 00:52:36.980 --> 00:52:41.699 such hostility. Let me look it up again. Who 00:52:41.699 --> 00:52:44.940 endured such hostility from sinners against himself, 00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:47.760 so that you won't grow weary and lose heart. 00:52:47.840 --> 00:52:50.059 So we're considering so that we won't grow weary 00:52:50.059 --> 00:52:58.940 and lose heart. Okay? Alright, here we go. Draw 00:52:58.940 --> 00:53:02.159 a heart with a Bible in it. Somewhere on your 00:53:02.159 --> 00:53:05.360 paper, draw a heart with a Bible in it. Easy 00:53:05.360 --> 00:53:25.219 peasy. A heart with a Bible in it. Five seconds. 00:53:25.960 --> 00:53:40.460 Okay. So in this verse, a heart with a Bible 00:53:40.460 --> 00:53:45.119 in it. We're pretty much done drawing it now. 00:53:45.280 --> 00:53:47.119 But you can finish it up while we do the next 00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:52.500 one. Okay. What is one picture word in this verse? 00:53:52.820 --> 00:53:55.659 Okay, so let's see. For consider him who endured 00:53:55.659 --> 00:53:57.800 such hostility from sinners against himself, 00:53:58.079 --> 00:54:01.420 so that you won't grow weary and lose heart. 00:54:01.619 --> 00:54:05.960 So what's a picture word? Heart. Heart is definitely 00:54:05.960 --> 00:54:10.260 a picture word. Hostility is also a picture word. 00:54:10.320 --> 00:54:12.500 Hostility is like when people do things that 00:54:12.500 --> 00:54:17.159 really hurt you. Hostility. You know what they're 00:54:17.159 --> 00:54:19.960 talking about with hostility against Jesus, right? 00:54:22.559 --> 00:54:25.460 that people ultimately, the worst of it is he 00:54:25.460 --> 00:54:29.360 was crucified, but he was beaten. They yelled 00:54:29.360 --> 00:54:32.000 at him. They mocked him. They dressed him in 00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:35.260 a purple robe and a crown of thorns, whacked 00:54:35.260 --> 00:54:38.159 him with a rod. They did all those things. And 00:54:38.159 --> 00:54:42.000 even before that, they went around saying bad 00:54:42.000 --> 00:54:43.699 things about him and said that he was doing stuff 00:54:43.699 --> 00:54:45.960 by the power of the devil instead of by God and 00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:48.099 stuff like that. There was a lot of hostility 00:54:48.099 --> 00:54:50.320 toward him. Any other picture words in there 00:54:50.320 --> 00:54:53.179 that you like? Otherwise, we're moving on. We've 00:54:53.179 --> 00:54:58.639 got four left. Okay. What does this verse say 00:54:58.639 --> 00:55:07.659 about God? Okay. God endured. Something, isn't 00:55:07.659 --> 00:55:10.119 it? He didn't have to do that. God didn't have 00:55:10.119 --> 00:55:12.139 to endure anything. I mean, that's how he paid 00:55:12.139 --> 00:55:14.780 for sins, but other than that, he had nothing 00:55:14.780 --> 00:55:18.320 to endure. He could make anything, destroy anything, 00:55:18.500 --> 00:55:21.739 have anything he wants. He endured. What else? 00:55:21.780 --> 00:55:24.739 Does it say anything else about God? What does 00:55:24.739 --> 00:55:30.619 it say God might do in our lives? Does it say 00:55:30.619 --> 00:55:33.760 that God might allow us to go through some things? 00:55:35.039 --> 00:55:38.599 To endure some things ourselves? It does, right? 00:55:39.539 --> 00:55:42.780 And it says that if we consider what He did for 00:55:42.780 --> 00:55:46.619 us, we won't grow weary, which means if we consider, 00:55:46.699 --> 00:55:49.039 God will give us strength. God will keep us going. 00:55:50.059 --> 00:55:56.619 That's pretty good stuff. Three more, right? 00:55:57.480 --> 00:56:02.840 No, two more. If I do this, what happens? Oh, 00:56:02.860 --> 00:56:04.360 I kind of gave you that one just now, didn't 00:56:04.360 --> 00:56:09.360 I? So if we consider that what Jesus went through, 00:56:09.579 --> 00:56:13.519 then we will not grow weary or grow or quit. 00:56:13.920 --> 00:56:16.599 We'll keep going. God will make us able to keep 00:56:16.599 --> 00:56:24.199 going. Anything else? Last one on this verse. 00:56:27.239 --> 00:56:31.800 When should I do this? Aria says all the time. 00:56:32.699 --> 00:56:35.159 I mean, that's a good answer. Kind of hard to 00:56:35.159 --> 00:56:38.480 do that all the time. But it would be ideally 00:56:38.480 --> 00:56:42.500 all the time. I think that's a good answer. So 00:56:42.500 --> 00:56:44.579 when should you do it? If not all the time, when 00:56:44.579 --> 00:56:48.320 should you for sure do it? When you have the 00:56:48.320 --> 00:56:50.380 time. Or I would say since meditation is a spiritual 00:56:50.380 --> 00:56:53.679 discipline, When you make the time, right? And 00:56:53.679 --> 00:56:55.900 I think we should make the time. So when you 00:56:55.900 --> 00:57:03.119 have the time or make the time. Last game. Last 00:57:03.119 --> 00:57:08.139 chance to play and make fun. Let's see what we 00:57:08.139 --> 00:57:18.539 got here. Can't do that one right now. Okay. 00:57:26.039 --> 00:57:28.199 You go first. We'll let a couple people try. 00:57:28.380 --> 00:57:30.760 River's going to go first because she's the youngest. 00:57:30.940 --> 00:57:35.440 I dropped the microphone. I thought Kyla was 00:57:35.440 --> 00:57:38.019 the youngest. Oh, actually, Kyla's the youngest. 00:57:38.059 --> 00:57:40.400 Do you want to go first, Kyla? He doesn't want 00:57:40.400 --> 00:57:58.179 to do it. Okay. All right, River, you go. When 00:57:58.179 --> 00:58:10.659 I say go, it says we're going to bounce one ball 00:58:10.659 --> 00:58:20.539 into each of the cups. You have one minute to 00:58:20.539 --> 00:58:22.900 successfully bounce one ball into each of the 00:58:22.900 --> 00:58:27.000 cups. I'll stand back here and catch the balls 00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:31.079 for you. I'll help you a little bit. On your 00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:36.019 mark. Here, I want to video it. On me? Yeah. 00:58:36.780 --> 00:58:46.800 Hurry up. Do you have to bounce it? Yep, it has 00:58:46.800 --> 00:58:49.460 to bounce off the floor and into the cups. Get 00:58:49.460 --> 00:58:56.360 it, River. Go. It's not very bouncy. Try again. 00:59:34.539 --> 00:59:37.099 That's what I said. She needs two more. She's 00:59:37.099 --> 00:59:39.679 got about 30 seconds left. Oh, two cups left. 00:59:39.860 --> 00:59:44.000 So she has a minute left? Yep. It's a minute 00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:47.679 now. I don't know what cups I have open. Ten 00:59:47.679 --> 00:59:50.619 seconds. It's going to be close. This one and 00:59:50.619 --> 01:00:14.019 this one. The middle one. Well, now you know. 01:00:14.760 --> 01:00:19.519 Okay. Good try, River. Or do you want other people 01:00:19.519 --> 01:00:26.739 to try first? No, that's not true. Okay. Someone 01:00:26.739 --> 01:00:28.380 else can try, and then someone will video for 01:00:28.380 --> 01:00:33.900 me. Second contestant, I will go for you. You'll 01:00:33.900 --> 01:00:39.920 go for me. All right. Here we go. On your mark, 01:00:39.980 --> 01:01:26.329 get set. Oh, that's close. Oh my gosh. What is 01:01:26.329 --> 01:01:34.530 this? Why don't you guys rock the rounders? Come 01:01:34.530 --> 01:01:42.869 on, Abby. What's the time scale there? She got 01:01:42.869 --> 01:01:54.869 30 seconds. She got 30 left? Yeah. Oh that was 01:01:54.869 --> 01:02:30.659 close. Ten seconds. I can go last. Alright. Who's 01:02:30.659 --> 01:02:35.880 our next contestant? I'll go next. Next step. 01:02:36.280 --> 01:02:47.320 On your mark. Go. It's harder than I thought. 01:02:47.579 --> 01:03:51.039 You might want to move the balls. One. Make sure, 01:03:51.099 --> 01:03:53.159 like, you can sit right here like I did so that 01:03:53.159 --> 01:03:55.159 you can see me bouncing and I can still see the 01:03:55.159 --> 01:04:01.679 guy. Oh my god, okay. I feel like you can see 01:04:01.679 --> 01:04:04.800 me bouncing and I can still see the guy. Who's 01:04:04.800 --> 01:04:08.079 been filming the whole start of the video? Get 01:04:08.079 --> 01:04:14.159 set, go! Oh, I'm gonna feel for it. I don't bounce. 01:04:15.219 --> 01:04:23.429 I'm taking... I'm just bouncing them back to 01:04:23.429 --> 01:04:28.989 myself. Too close. The other ball is sabotaged. 01:04:28.989 --> 01:04:33.349 It's a lot harder than it looks. How do you know 01:04:33.349 --> 01:04:42.230 when you haven't done it? There it is. Two. Three. 01:04:42.929 --> 01:04:46.590 Not a roll. Not on that side. Not on this side. 01:04:46.690 --> 01:05:09.250 Go on that side. Thank you. Thank you. Thank 01:05:09.250 --> 01:05:14.670 you. All right. Well done. Back to your worksheets. 01:05:16.670 --> 01:05:21.670 Thank you for playing. You can stack them all 01:05:21.670 --> 01:05:27.190 up for me. Okay. Don't play with them. Just stack 01:05:27.190 --> 01:05:31.320 them up. Look at the part that has the little 01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:35.679 man. On the left -hand side here. We have two 01:05:35.679 --> 01:05:37.079 things left to do. The little man on the left 01:05:37.079 --> 01:05:41.460 -hand side is one. We're done with the games. 01:05:41.599 --> 01:05:43.119 That was all the games. I told you it was the 01:05:43.119 --> 01:05:47.760 last game. A lot of games. We played a lot of 01:05:47.760 --> 01:05:51.679 games. We had a lot of fun. In the head of the 01:05:51.679 --> 01:06:02.219 man, you're going to put a number. Well, you 01:06:02.219 --> 01:06:03.380 don't really have to put the number. If you already 01:06:03.380 --> 01:06:04.880 put smiley faces in there or drew something there, 01:06:04.980 --> 01:06:08.139 that's fine. You don't have to do it, okay? All 01:06:08.139 --> 01:06:11.739 right. So look at your books at the top. Genesis, 01:06:11.960 --> 01:06:17.940 Malachi, Psalms, Judges, right? And across there, 01:06:18.119 --> 01:06:20.980 if you wrote something significant about the 01:06:20.980 --> 01:06:25.099 name of the book, you put the number one. So, 01:06:25.219 --> 01:06:33.420 in their faces. Okay? Just scan the page and 01:06:33.420 --> 01:06:34.820 look and see if you wrote anything significant 01:06:34.820 --> 01:06:37.139 about the name of the book on any of those four 01:06:37.139 --> 01:06:40.340 things. And if so, you put the number one. Okay? 01:06:41.460 --> 01:06:44.420 If you wrote something about where in God's story 01:06:44.420 --> 01:06:48.099 does it fit, where in God's story does it fit, 01:06:48.139 --> 01:06:53.019 you put the number five. In their faces. In their 01:06:53.019 --> 01:06:58.280 heads. Any head you want. Any of their heads. 01:06:58.420 --> 01:07:01.860 Not complicated. The goal is to fill up the heads. 01:07:02.000 --> 01:07:04.579 Fill all the heads. So far you'd have two possible. 01:07:06.420 --> 01:07:08.639 If you wrote something about who wrote it and 01:07:08.639 --> 01:07:16.139 why, put the number six. Doesn't matter. Absolutely 01:07:16.139 --> 01:07:17.860 irrelevant. The goal is to fill the heads. That's 01:07:17.860 --> 01:07:20.139 the whole goal. If you wrote something about 01:07:20.139 --> 01:07:28.760 who is the hero of the story, put four. If you 01:07:28.760 --> 01:07:30.500 wrote something about, and everyone should have 01:07:30.500 --> 01:07:33.260 this one, how many letters in the name of the 01:07:33.260 --> 01:07:37.980 book? Put ten. Does anybody have them all filled 01:07:37.980 --> 01:07:41.460 yet? We have just enough, I think. No, we don't. 01:07:41.699 --> 01:07:45.219 One, two, three, four, five, six, two, four. 01:07:45.219 --> 01:07:46.340 No, we don't have enough. You shouldn't have 01:07:46.340 --> 01:07:48.440 enough yet. You should have six of eight at most 01:07:48.440 --> 01:07:52.539 right now. Okay. What is a conflict in the book? 01:07:52.820 --> 01:07:55.380 The number three. So at most you should have 01:07:55.380 --> 01:07:58.929 seven heads filled right now. It's like bingo. 01:07:59.090 --> 01:08:02.869 If the next one, if you get it, then you're the 01:08:02.869 --> 01:08:05.909 first one to have all eight filled. If you wrote 01:08:05.909 --> 01:08:08.429 something about a random verse in the book considering 01:08:08.429 --> 01:08:11.030 the four longest and the four other words, write 01:08:11.030 --> 01:08:14.710 eight. Does anybody have all eight filled with 01:08:14.710 --> 01:08:19.750 that? Aria does? A random verse in the book, 01:08:19.810 --> 01:08:21.930 consider the four longest and four other words. 01:08:23.369 --> 01:08:25.869 It was eight. That was number eight. Okay, so 01:08:25.869 --> 01:08:27.850 Aria has all eight heads filled. Does anybody 01:08:27.850 --> 01:08:29.850 else have all eight heads filled? All right, 01:08:29.890 --> 01:08:32.069 several. All right, so all of you who have all 01:08:32.069 --> 01:08:36.010 eight heads filled can say, bingo! Okay, fine. 01:08:36.310 --> 01:08:46.350 All right. Okay, so now you're looking at the 01:08:46.350 --> 01:08:53.529 flags. What? Two. Yes. Oh, two is first or last. 01:08:53.609 --> 01:08:55.149 Did I see in the book we didn't actually do that 01:08:55.149 --> 01:09:00.289 one? Oh. Any first or last of anything. But we 01:09:00.289 --> 01:09:03.590 didn't have that question. No. The numbers don't 01:09:03.590 --> 01:09:06.529 matter. Where you put them in the heads don't 01:09:06.529 --> 01:09:08.609 matter. It's just, did you get eight numbers? 01:09:08.789 --> 01:09:09.989 That's all that matters. What is the question 01:09:09.989 --> 01:09:14.090 for the last question you told us? A random verse 01:09:14.090 --> 01:09:17.090 in the book. Consider the four longest and four 01:09:17.090 --> 01:09:21.239 other words. How many letters in the name? Who's, 01:09:21.239 --> 01:09:25.199 I'm reading them all again. Who's the hero in 01:09:25.199 --> 01:09:27.600 the story was four. Conflict in the book was 01:09:27.600 --> 01:09:30.680 three. Random fact I know from this book was 01:09:30.680 --> 01:09:35.319 seven. Who wrote it and why was six. Where in 01:09:35.319 --> 01:09:40.659 God's story does this fit was five. Okay. On 01:09:40.659 --> 01:09:44.479 the verses now. So you got the flags. Okay. See 01:09:44.479 --> 01:09:47.600 there are six flags. Again. It does not matter 01:09:47.600 --> 01:09:49.779 what numbers you put in the flags. The goal is 01:09:49.779 --> 01:09:53.619 to fill all six flags. All right? The first one 01:09:53.619 --> 01:10:00.920 we didn't use. We didn't use that one. Who is 01:10:00.920 --> 01:10:04.199 talking and to whom? So if you have that, you 01:10:04.199 --> 01:10:05.800 can put it into any one of the flags, the number 01:10:05.800 --> 01:10:16.920 two. Is there a happy or sad feeling? The number 01:10:16.920 --> 01:10:23.760 three. Almost done. What is the big idea? The 01:10:23.760 --> 01:10:26.760 number six. So at most, you should be able to 01:10:26.760 --> 01:10:31.859 have three flags filled right now. Is there a 01:10:31.859 --> 01:10:35.340 body part mentioned? The number nine. No, that's 01:10:35.340 --> 01:10:40.340 probably mine. Thank you. Okay, so at most, you 01:10:40.340 --> 01:10:43.020 should have four flags filled right now. When 01:10:43.020 --> 01:10:46.579 should I do this? The number eight. You should 01:10:46.579 --> 01:10:49.600 have five flags if you've got them all. If I 01:10:49.600 --> 01:10:53.140 do this, what happens? The number seven. All 01:10:53.140 --> 01:10:56.939 right. We got a bingo. All right. Very good. 01:10:57.100 --> 01:11:02.239 Okay. Okay. Now, the boxes on the right -hand 01:11:02.239 --> 01:11:04.800 side are the only thing left on your page. That 01:11:04.800 --> 01:11:07.920 and it says bonuses at the bottom. Okay. In those 01:11:07.920 --> 01:11:10.260 boxes, we're out of time, but in those boxes, 01:11:10.300 --> 01:11:13.460 you can write anything that you took out of it. 01:11:13.520 --> 01:11:16.149 What should I do? Application means what should 01:11:16.149 --> 01:11:18.470 I do. Out of what we did, everything that we 01:11:18.470 --> 01:11:19.890 studied, everything we looked at, what did you 01:11:19.890 --> 01:11:21.949 get out of it? And you put it in the box. If 01:11:21.949 --> 01:11:24.010 you put four things in the box, then you can 01:11:24.010 --> 01:11:26.590 mark all four bonus boxes and you have completed 01:11:26.590 --> 01:11:28.930 the entire page. If you only put one thing, you 01:11:28.930 --> 01:11:34.609 only mark one bonus box and so on. What did you 01:11:34.609 --> 01:11:49.479 get out of it? What should you do? How do you 01:11:49.479 --> 01:11:53.939 mark it? Put a smiley face or a cross or some 01:11:53.939 --> 01:11:57.020 symbol. Your favorite emoji, something like that. 01:11:57.079 --> 01:12:01.840 As long as it's polite. This is garbage. Okay, 01:12:02.000 --> 01:12:09.539 so if you marked all four of your bonuses, you 01:12:09.539 --> 01:12:12.220 have sufficiently completed a lesson on meditation. 01:12:13.150 --> 01:12:15.010 remember that when you are doing meditation, 01:12:15.350 --> 01:12:19.449 you need not write anything down. Now, if God 01:12:19.449 --> 01:12:21.109 leads you like you're doing it, and God says, 01:12:21.170 --> 01:12:22.890 hey, write that down, then write it down, of 01:12:22.890 --> 01:12:25.470 course. But when you're meditating, you do not 01:12:25.470 --> 01:12:27.310 have to write any of it. You could do that whole 01:12:27.310 --> 01:12:28.949 thing, everything that we just did without writing 01:12:28.949 --> 01:12:31.909 anything down, and you'd be meditating. So we 01:12:31.909 --> 01:12:36.090 just basically had a lot of fun. Also, the games 01:12:36.090 --> 01:12:39.470 did have a point to them. Does everybody know 01:12:39.470 --> 01:12:42.699 what a hummingbird is? Yes. Do you know what 01:12:42.699 --> 01:12:51.920 a hummingbird does? How many times a day do you 01:12:51.920 --> 01:12:55.779 think a hummingbird collects nectar? Just give 01:12:55.779 --> 01:13:02.180 us a guess. A hundred or more, right? So we had 01:13:02.180 --> 01:13:05.180 games going on. We also had a lesson of meditation 01:13:05.180 --> 01:13:07.479 going on. On a given day, you're going to have 01:13:07.479 --> 01:13:10.000 meals going on. You're going to have your job. 01:13:10.539 --> 01:13:12.439 You're going to have to clean up your house. 01:13:12.960 --> 01:13:15.220 Someone's going to call you. All kinds of things 01:13:15.220 --> 01:13:17.960 going on, right? But we just demonstrated that 01:13:17.960 --> 01:13:20.260 you can have other things going on and have fun 01:13:20.260 --> 01:13:23.380 or work or do whatever you have to do and still 01:13:23.380 --> 01:13:26.600 come back to meditation, okay? So think of your 01:13:26.600 --> 01:13:29.539 meditation sometimes like a hummingbird. You're 01:13:29.539 --> 01:13:31.960 getting the nectar, right? And then the phone 01:13:31.960 --> 01:13:34.000 rings. Just because the phone rang doesn't mean 01:13:34.000 --> 01:13:35.819 you have to stop. You can take care of that. 01:13:35.819 --> 01:13:37.819 You have to take care of it. And then you can 01:13:37.819 --> 01:13:40.779 go back and do what you were doing. Or all throughout 01:13:40.779 --> 01:13:42.640 the day. All throughout the day. You can think 01:13:42.640 --> 01:13:45.220 any time you want. You probably know the names 01:13:45.220 --> 01:13:47.520 of at least a dozen books of the Bible without 01:13:47.520 --> 01:13:50.060 actually having any verses. Hopefully it might 01:13:50.060 --> 01:13:51.899 be more. You can learn a lot more. You can know 01:13:51.899 --> 01:13:53.899 almost all the names. And you can think about 01:13:53.899 --> 01:13:56.060 anything you can think about about those books. 01:13:56.940 --> 01:13:59.380 Even though you might not know the verses memorized, 01:13:59.579 --> 01:14:01.699 you can think about the books and meditate on 01:14:01.699 --> 01:14:04.920 the books. Or you can think about a parable. 01:14:05.300 --> 01:14:09.939 Maybe you know the story of how Jesus said there's 01:14:09.939 --> 01:14:12.100 the mustard seed and it's very small and it grows 01:14:12.100 --> 01:14:19.899 very big and all the animals shelter in it. And 01:14:19.899 --> 01:14:22.060 so you can just think about that and meditate 01:14:22.060 --> 01:14:24.300 on that. Anytime you're in the doctor's office, 01:14:24.399 --> 01:14:26.880 anytime you're in the car, whatever, you do not 01:14:26.880 --> 01:14:29.300 have to turn on your cell phone. There is a whole 01:14:29.300 --> 01:14:32.159 spiritual realm that is going on around you all 01:14:32.159 --> 01:14:34.500 the time, and you can meditate on it.
