Mata kita ni Peninsula High School matatatsu wa kulubu na operate waka ni Before we pray, before we start off, can Miriam give us a word of prayer please? Let's have a word of prayer. Allah, thank you for the gift of sabat, thank you for the gift of life and salvation and thank you for bringing us to church. Guide us and forgive us our sins, help us to be good boys and gods. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Thank you and shine for Jesus. Edga, can you remind us what is our memory verse for today? Our memory verse for today is Romans 10 verses 17 and it says, Southern faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Shine for Jesus. And we've been looking at Paul's missionary journeys. Rafa, where was Paul last sabat? Last sabat Paul was in Ephesus but there was a riot because the matriosh felt that Paul was reigning his idol-making business but luckily the city clerk controlled the people. Thank you. Yes, through the working of the Holy Spirit the city clerk intervened and controlled the people and so the riot was controlled. Barion, what are we learning today? Today our memory, our story is Acts chapter 20 verse 1 to 12. Yes, it's on Acts chapter 20 verses 1 and to 12 and we are looking at the journey so Paul, Paul coming from Ephesus is going to Macedonia and where did Paul go after that? Well, Paul went to Greece and stayed there for three good months. Ah, Paul went there to Greece and stayed for three months. Paul is a missionary so he is travelling from place to place presenting the word of God, teaching people. Now Paul intended to go to Syria from Greece but he learnt that there was a plot against him so he went back to Macedonia and went to E.P. on his way to Troy. And with Paul were seven disciples who were assisting and helping him. Who knows who they were? Can you tell us if? Yes. Uh-huh, that was three. Yes, Edgar. Ah, Shine for Jesus. And Sopata, Sopata the son of Piras from Beria and Gaias from Debe. Ah, great Raphael and Shine for Jesus. All of you are children for remembering the seven disciples who were assisting Paul. So Paul went on and went to Troy's. Who remembers how long he stayed in Troy's? Yes? He stayed there for seven days. Yes, he stayed there for seven days teaching and encouraging them. Then on the first day of the week Paul and his disciples came together to break bread and the next day he was to move on travel as he was a missionary always travelling, always on the road and preaching. And so on this day he was preaching and teaching them and encouraging them. And who remembers up to what time, how long did the preaching go on? Yes? He preached until midnight. Ah, he preached until midnight. And so Raphael, I'm not sure if you remember anything about the midnight prayer. Yes, I remember. There was a young man. His name was Utikas. He was treated by the windowsill. He started dosing off as Paul preached. Ah, so he was dosing off as Paul preached. And yeah, I think there was more. There was something even more dramatic than that. Yes, Mary. As Paul kept talking, Utikas sank into a deus league. And he fell down from the window and died. Ah, wow. That was sad. Utikas fell down from the window where he was sitting and died. So Paul rushed down to where Utikas was. I wonder what happened. Did Paul cry? Yes, Edgar, what happened? Yes, Paul cried. When they went downstairs, Paul fell on him, put his hands around him. Yes. After he put his hands around him, he said. Aha, Paul put his hands around Utikas, embraced him. And what did Paul say? Yes. Paul said, do not worry. Yes. For his life is still in him. Yes, Paul said he is alive. To be filled by the Holy Spirit and trusting in God, Paul declared Utikas alive. Ah, so I think that must have been so sad. I think they just packed up and said, no, we've had enough. They let's go home. Is that what happened? No. What happened? They went back to third floor and heard their Holy Communion. Ah, they went back to third floor and continued on. Paul, together with them, had Holy Communion. And I think that, what do you think Rafael? After that, they will just say, no, we've had enough. Holy Communion, Utikas even fell down. Yes. Not quite. Paul continued preaching until early morning. Whole night of preaching and worshiping God. Ah, whole night of preaching and worshiping God. Edgar, you want to make a comment? Yes. Yes, tell us. I wanted to say the same thing that Rafael was saying. Yeah, go ahead. Tell us again. One Paul came. Thank you. And shine for Jesus. So Paul went on preaching after the Holy Communion. Paul preached and he preached till morning. And on the morning it was time for him to move on. But the people were really comforted and they were encouraged. And so Utikas was taken home and he was taken home alive in the morning. What a great day. What a mighty God that we serve. Right? What a mighty God that we serve. And Maryam, we seem to be having a comment. What do you want to tell us? We've landed that. We should... That God heals. Ah, you've landed that God heals. Edgar, did you have a lesson from this? Yes. Yes, tell us. We should have faith in God. We should believe in God. And that God is the three in one. That means that God is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Ah, shine for Jesus. Rafael, do you have any take home from this? Yes, I do. I learned that we should trust in God. Just like Paul trusted in God to bring Utikas back to life. Ah, shine for Jesus. Yes, I've also learned some lessons. One of them is that we can also be missionaries like Paul. That we can be able to take the word of God to different parts of the world, to different people. Even if you're starting small by talking to our neighbors about God. But I also learned something from Utikas. You know, we know that our attention span in primary is about what? That it's on? We can increase it. We can get involved. We can do notes, isn't it? What else can we do? We can draw what the pastor is teaching. Yes, Maryam. We can write what the pastor is teaching about. And also we can write the verse that the pastor is going to be preaching. Yes. So we serve a mighty God. That's what we learned as well. So my God is so big, so strong and so mighty. There's nothing my God cannot do for me. My God is so big, so strong and so mighty. There's nothing my God cannot do for you. Rafaia, can you give us a word of prayer? Let's do our heads for a word of prayer. God, thank you for the Sabbath. Thank you for allowing us to tell about Paul's work for you. Forgive our sins and help us to be like Paul. In Jesus' name we pray and believe. Amen. Thank you children and that's all for today's Sabbath. Primary B has been presenting parts of Paul's missionary journeys. And we learned from acts. Acts 18. Acts 19. And acts 20. Just in part of Paul's missionary journeys. And for now, till next Sabbath. Bye.
