The Little Candle Said

The Little Candle Said

The candle said in the wind.

I’m just a tiny light, a light so small.

I’m not sure if anyone;

Could see to get around with me at all.

I would be a guiding light.

If I were a star up in the night sky.

To those who are lost in sin.

Shining for Jesus as the time goes by.

I would shine upon the day.

Our trembling Savior drew his last breath.

The lightning flashed ‘cross the sky;

The elements grieved at our Savior’s death.

Jesus was dead, with bowed head.

He had no life, no thought, and no heartbeat.

Screams were heard in the darkness.

The earth shook and opened beneath their feet.

The candle said to the sky.

I’m just a tiny light, a light so small.

I’m not sure if anyone;

Could see to get around with me at all.

I would be a guiding light.

If I were a star up in the night sky.

To those who are lost in sin.

Shining for Jesus as the time goes by.

I would shine upon the day.

The angel rolled the stone from the tomb’s door.

To see that it was empty.

Now in Christ, there is life forevermore.

In the presence of angels.

Mary and others, their joy could be heard.

Jesus arose from the dead.

They ran to tell the others the good word.

Many miracles happened.

Many Saints arose from the open graves.

The unbelieving believed.

They were saved on that day, thank God, Jesus saves.

The candle said to the land.

I’m just a tiny light, a light so small.

I’m not sure if anyone;

Could see to get around with me at all.

I would be a guiding light.

If I were a star up in the night sky.

To those who are lost in sin.

Shining for Jesus as the time goes by.

Where I am needed, I’ll be.

I would give light in a place without light.

Not me, but Jesus they’ll see.

For his light is the light that will shine through me.

Then the little candle sang.

“This light of mine, I’m going shine for you.

Jesus’ help me give more light.

Help me, help others always see you.

The little candle was shining all along.

I changed the song to say Mary and others. The bible does not say Martha was there. I'm not going to change the audio. If you would like for me to change it, let me know and I will change it.

Luke 24:10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. (Martha could have been there)

Matthew 28:1-19

In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

Matthew 27: 50-54

Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

original - I changed it.

Matthew 27:51- 53

And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

Becoming God's Child - A Guide # 1

Becoming God’s Child

Many people want to say that because God made people from the beginning

that we are all God’s children. However, the bible teaches us that because

sin entered into the world through the sin of one man. (Adam) All men and

women are born into sin and know not God. This is why we tell people the

Good News of Christ Jesus. God sent his only begotten Son to die for our sins.

God loves us that much that he made a way for people to be saved from the

judgement to come. He has given us the only way to be saved. Jesus tells us

in scripture that HE IS The WAY. There is a children’s song called “One Way

and Only One.” When we believe what the bible says about Jesus giving his

life for us. When we believe the Gospel of John 3:16 and believe in his resurrection.

Then our heart becomes alive unto God. Our heart, meaning, the very being of who

we are, understands for the first time, that God has given us the only way of salvation.

There is nothing within us that is good enough to earn salvation. Without the salvation

that God has offered to all, there would be no possible way to heaven for anyone.

Without Christ, upon our death we would enter a hopeless tormenting hell that has

no end. God loved us enough to make a way for that not to happen. God’s not willing

that any should perish but that all should be saved. He has provided the Way.

The question is are you going his way or your own way. He tells us in his Word our

ways are the ways of death but his way is to life eternal.

Susan Nikitenko 2022

John17:3

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God,

and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent

Proverbs 14:12 ¶ There is a way which seemeth right unto a man,

but the end thereof are the ways of death.

2 Peter 3:9

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,

as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering

to us-ward, not willing that any should perish,

but that all should come to repentance.

Romans 3:23

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

2 Corinthians 4:3

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 1:12

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons ( or daughters) of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Saint Patrick Was A Slave

Testimony Of Saint Patrick

Saint Patrick was taken against his will from his family in Britain as a 16-year-old boy. He was taken across the waters in a boat headed for Ireland. There he was sold as a slave to a rich leader. He was given the job of herding swine. He toiled in slavery for six years. His life of servitude was a time of great suffering and misery. He lived in poverty, filth, and dirt. Many times, He was desperately cold and hungry. He described himself as a stone stuck in the mud.

When Patrick regained his freedom, he started preaching the gospel that Baptist preachers preach today. Patrick found the Lord Jesus, sometime during the 6 years he was in slavery. He confessed he did not know the true God as a 16-year-old boy, but while in a strange land, The Lord God opened his unbelieving eyes to the truth of the Gospel. He confessed his sins to the Lord and turned his life over to the Lord God wholeheartedly. God became a father to him and comforted him as a father does his children.

He started loving the Lord God more and more. The Spirit of God moved him to pray many prayers. He prayed both day and night while in the forest and in the mountain herding his flock. He suffered severe cold, rain and frost. The Lord helped him and he became eager to learn more and more. He loved to think about God and God’s Word became a fire in his soul.

Patrick was saved as a slave, the Holy Spirit greatly moved within his heart. He became a preacher to the lost, the idol worshippers, the heathen of Ireland.

He was recognized by the Catholics as a Saint because he lived blamelessly, but He was Baptist in his doctrine and beliefs.

This is just a small bit of the testimony of Saint Patrick. We can learn from his life and his struggles today. We can understand that Patrick still had problems but God was there for him and comforted him through his sufferings.

Romans 8:15

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to

fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

When We Become A Christian

We are adopted into the family of God we become his child and He is our Father in heaven.

The comforter the Holy Spirit helps us through our troubles. Jesus abides with us.

Clovers are green living plants -

When Christ saves us we become

alive to God and are given everlasting life. The promise of heaven.

We should grow in faith and want to please God with our choices.

If we trust and obey we become stronger in our faith and will see prayers answered.

We are not saved by luck that we lived good enough, we are saved by believing and trusting Christ as our Saviour. God paid the penalty for our sins. He died in our place. His blood was shed for us so we could be saved and live an everlasting life in heaven when we die.

Saint Patrick had a purpose for his life and became a preacher of the Gospel of Christ.

God has a purpose for you too. You are young yet, but God can and will lead you in life as you ask him to direct your path. When you make decisions ask God what he wants for you to do. If you want what God wants then you know you will do well.

Proverbs 3:6

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Keeping Our Hearts Clean - Psalms 119:9 Memory Verse

Most of the snow is melted away, but the ground is really wet. You know what that means don’t you. “Mud”. It’s hard to keep your shoes clean and it sometimes can get tracked in your house – if you do not wipe your feet or take them off. We need to wash our shoes off if they get muddy.

How many of you have a dog? What if he gets out in the mud? So you have to clean the dog off before he comes back into the house. If you don’t he could make your house really dirty.

We have to wash our hands every day. Cleansing our hands keeps germs from spreading. We need to wash our hands if they get dirty.

We need to take a bath with water, soap, and a washcloth to keep ourselves clean and healthy. We need to wash up if we are not clean.

We need to wash our clothes so that we can have clean fresh smelling clothes to wear.

We have to cleanse our teeth by brushing them, So our breath won’t stink and so we will not get a cavity. Flossing is important too, so cavities do not happen between your teeth.

We need to keep our house clean. We need to wash our dishes. We need to keep our cars clean.

These are good rules for us to stay happy and healthy.

I brought some things to help us think about our topic today.

Ask one of the children to choose something from the box.

Talk about each item in the box as they take turns choosing something

from the box.

----

This is the last thing in the box. - The Bible helps us keep clean

Let's Remember this little Rhyme.

This is our poem for today. Ha Ha

Read It and Heed It. Read It and Heed It.

Let’s read our bible verse together. It is a verse about being clean.

Psalms 119: Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.

If time allows, go through and verbally fill in the blanks of each page.

Our bible verse today talks about being clean. Every Christian can apply this verse to their life.

We need to keep our hearts and lives clean so that our relationship with God and others is not hindered.

How do we keep our hearts and lives clean as Christians? I'm not talking about the physical part of ourselves but our hearts and minds. What we choose to do each day. Like what we watch on television, what kind of music we listen to or what we read and don't read. What we talk about with other people or what we hear people say. What activities we choose to do or people we choose to hang around with. These things all determine what we allow into our hearts and lives.

Are we made clean by the good things we do? If we do not have Christ as Our Saviour our good works are of our own doing. Yes, they seem very good to us as we look at the person doing good things, but God will only accept works of goodness if we are in Christ. We are made clean and acceptable to God by accepting Christ as our Saviour. If others do not accept our good works as children of God, God will accept them because our heart is willing and He is our motive.

According to the bible, Without Christ, all people are sinners and all people need salvation. Without Christ, our righteousness is as filthy rags to God. That's why Christ came to this earth to save us from our sins and to cleanse us from unrighteousness. Only one life soon past only what's done for Christ will last.

First of all for anyone to be clean in God’s sight, they must accept Christ as their personal Saviour. Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sin. Why do we need to be saved from our sin? Because God will not accept anyone who remains in his sin. That means God will not allow anyone into heaven that has not been washed from their sin. God made a way for us to be clean in his sight and forgiven of all our sins. When we believe upon Christ as our Savoiur, believe that he died on the cross for our sins and that He rose from the dead. The bible teaches us that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. We become a child of God. The bible calls it born again. When we choose Christ, we should also choose to live for Christ. Be a doer of the Word and your life will remain clean before God. Read it and Heed it.

What are some things we Need To Heed?

Be faithful to go to church.

Be faithful in prayer.

Be faithful in learning your bible.

Choose good friends.

Fellowship with believers.

Confess daily sins to God.

Be courteous.

Think good thoughts.

What are some things we need to weed?

Help me make a list.

This song is not just for children but for all Christians.

https://starpoempickjuly.blogspot.com/2014/04/oh-be-careful-little-heart-lesson.html

Let's sing the song, "O Be Careful Little Eyes."

God has given to us his Word to instruct us in righteousness.

Psalms 119:11 ¶

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Dear Father In Heaven, We know Lord, we are nothing without you. We pray that when we do good works it will be in you and because of you. We pray that you will open other people's eyes to what being saved in Christ means. We know that there are a lot of people in this world that need to be saved from something. However, dying without Christ is the greatest danger in this world. There are many scary things going on around us, but you are our help in times of trouble. You are the Rock of our salvation.

You are active in our lives. I pray that people will accept Christ Jesus as their Saviour Today.

In Jesus's name, we pray this Amen.

We keep these in prayer today.

Please keep the country Ukraine in your prayers, they probably do not have the resources they need.

Pray also that God will bring judgment upon Putin.
