 building up the temple, building up the temple, the temple of the children. The first week of August, we had the wonderful story from Teacher Nancy. Last week, Teacher Nelly continued with Paul's journey, and we had the wonderful miracles performed by Paul. Now today we'll continue with the Paul's journey, but before we start, I'll introduce myself, together with the children with me. My name is Teacher Nancy. My name is Judith O'Kello. My name is Esther O'Kello. My name is Joel O'Kello. And my name is Jordan William Bargo. Thank you very much children. Before we start, I request Judith to pray for us. Let us bow our heads for the word of prayer. Boys and girls here in church and at home, understand what we are going to teach them today. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Thank you so much Judith. So last Sabbath, what did we learn? Georgia Moyo kindly tell us. We learned how God did the ordinary miracles through Paul. Amen. And what are we learning this Sabbath? This Sabbath, we are going to learn about the riot in Ephesus from the book of Acts chapter 19 verse 21 to 40. Amen. Thank you Esther. What does memory verse today tell us? Our memory verse is taken from the book of 1st Colossians chapter 1 verse 13. And it says, He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the sun He loves. Amen Judith, thank you very much. So children last Sabbath, we had the wonderful story of Paul where we saw people took clothes, they took handkerchiefs. When Paul prayed for these handkerchiefs and they were taken back to the sick people, they were healed. At that same time we saw some Jews who tried imitating what Paul did. They went to pray for demon possessed people. But unfortunately they were not spiritually strong. So the demon possessed people attacked them, they were badly beaten, they bled and they ran away. It was a very funny experience. So today we'll continue from that point. And after this incident we saw that Jesus' name was held in very high honor. And Paul continued with his journey to Macedonia. But before he continued, there's a decision he made. He decided to stay in the province of Asia. Now at that time we had two companions of Paul. How are they and where did Paul send them? Yes, Joel? Their names were Erastas and Timothy and Paul sent them to Macedonia. Thank you very much. So at that same time there was a very great disturbance about something called the way. Judith kindly tell us what is the way or who is the way. And Jesus? Thank you for quoting John chapter 14 verse 6. So the people in Ephesus were very much disturbed. They did not know who to follow. They did not know should they follow our God in heaven or the gods they were making. Now at that same time there was a very famous person. Who was this person and what was he doing? Yes Esther? The famous person was called Demetrius. And he was making silver trines of the goddess Artemis. Thank you very much. So Demetrius was very famous. He was making the goddess. And this goddess was being worshipped in Ephesus. It was a very common thing happening there. But there's something that was bothering Demetrius. He was so worried. And there's something he acted upon. What was Demetrius worried about and what did he do? Yes Joel? Demetrius was worried about what Paul said. And Paul said that God's made by humans hands are not good. So he called all the workers and told them workers of the goddess Artemis. You know our prosperity comes from this work. And you hear what this Paul is saying. He's going to make our business go down and our business will have a bad name. So the men started shouting. Great is Artemis of Ephesus. A man chained for Jesus Joel. So they shouted and shouted. Great is Artemis of Ephesians. For a very long time they shouted virtually two hours. The whole city joined the riot. And the riot continued. People crowded. It was like the whole of Nairobi shouting. And the noise was growing bigger and louder and louder. At that same time when the riot was happening in Ephesus something happened to Paul's companions. What happened to them? Yes, Judge Amoya? Yes, unfortunately Paul's companions were arrested. They were taken to the theater. Paul had about this. What did Paul do? Yes, Judith? He wanted to go in front of the theater but the other believers stopped him. Amen. He was stopped and he was told no, no, no you cannot follow those people. If you try following them you will be killed. You have to stay behind. So Paul stayed behind. Now after that something again happened. A very famous person came up and what did he do while the riot was still happening? Yes Esther? When the riot was still happening he said fellow Ephesians why are you rioting like this? Yet these men of arrested have not stole or said or robbed the goddess Artemis or said any bad things or said any bad things about the goddess Artemis. You will be accused of a riot. So stop shouting like this. Amen. Thank you so much. And the city clerk stopped the riot and they went silent and he dismissed the crowd. We serve a very faithful God. Paul was very happy. His companions were released. They united together. He called his disciples and he continued encouraging them. And together they sang this song. It belongs. Amen. Enjoy. That we should put God first. Perfect. Thank you very much. And I, teacher Elsie, have also learned that if we confess our sins like the Jews then God is faithful and just and is ready to forgive us. So thank you children. We'll close with the word of prayer from George. The word of prayer. I ask to give the Christian eyes and then I pray. Thank you for this children. Some of you make us be as bold as Paul because we pray amen. Amen. So thank you so much children for joining us today for the Children of Saman. See you again next sabbat for now. Bye.
