00:00Praise Him, praise Him, all you little children, God is love, God is love.
00:13Praise Him, praise Him, all you little children, God is love, God is love.
00:26Alright, we got six of you today.
00:30And I want to give an offer to all six of you.
00:34I have a really great offer today.
00:37Before we go to the verse, we address this here.
00:41There's something in here.
00:43Who wants this?
00:45I think everyone wants this, right?
00:48Okay?
00:49Alright, if you had a choice though, between this envelope or this one here.
00:56Alright?
00:57Alright?
00:58You got a really nice envelope on the outside, and then a really worn, torn, and tired one.
01:09Alright?
01:10Who here, um, who's celebrating their birthday next?
01:17I think, oh, Andy Jerry is.
01:20Pensy, you're next.
01:21I'm gonna, I'm gonna bypass you.
01:23There's some favoritism if I choose you.
01:25So, who's after, can't see.
01:28After May comes June.
01:33Ali and Addie, also Katie and Kylie.
01:35So, let's do this.
01:36I'm gonna pick one of, one of each of the sets of twins.
01:40Addie, I'm gonna give you a choice.
01:41And, maybe Katie and Kylie, you want to do a little rock, paper, scissors to see who goes?
01:48Go, rock, paper, scissors.
01:51Oh, alright.
01:54Alright, so Katie's gonna get the next choice.
01:57Now, I want you two to do rock, paper, scissors.
02:03Peasants, let's go.
02:05Oh, okay.
02:09So, do you want to choose first, or do you want to give Addie the first choice?
02:13He can go first.
02:14Addie.
02:15Which one?
02:17The, the nice envelope, or the really messed up envelope?
02:21You choose.
02:28Choose wisely.
02:29You want the nice envelope.
02:30Okay, there you go.
02:32Okay, well, don't open your head.
02:33But, you therefore get the very Lord of the Lord on the Lord.
02:37Now, hold on.
02:38Before you open it, Addie, open it.
02:42And, Thomas, what's inside?
02:44Nothing.
02:45Nothing.
02:46Actually, no, there is something.
02:50Take it out.
02:50No, there's something.
02:52Open it.
02:54Yeah, there you go.
02:56Wow.
02:56A piece of paper with nothing.
03:01Ain't that great, yes.
03:04All right.
03:05Let's show them.
03:08There's a $5 bill.
03:12Happy birthday.
03:13Yeah, happy birthday in advance.
03:16For me, no, I mean that.
03:17No, I'm kidding.
03:18Now, jokes aside, though.
03:20There's a lesson to be learned.
03:22Queen Patrick, please splash the verse on the screen.
03:25Let's all read the verse together.
03:28It's up there.
03:29People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
03:371 Samuel 16, 7.
03:411 Samuel 16, 7.
03:43Very good.
03:44I think you get the point of this now, right?
03:47Addie, next time you're given that kind of an offer, what are you going to do next time?
03:52Pick the bad-looking one.
03:54Now, so that's not going to be the case all the time, we know that.
03:59There's a bit of humor to this illustration.
04:02But the point here is, the story behind this Bible verse was when Samuel, say Samuel.
04:10Samuel.
04:10He was a prophet.
04:12Say prophet.
04:12Prophet.
04:13A prophet is a messenger of God.
04:16And as the messenger of God, God gave him this message right here.
04:20People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
04:23Guess what was happening here?
04:24They were supposed to select a new king.
04:27And Samuel thought it would be the older, stronger-looking brothers of a guy named Jesse.
04:36But guess what?
04:37God told him, nope, not this one, not that one, not the other, and the other, and the other.
04:43It's the youngest little boy.
04:46And his name was David.
04:48And David became the anointed king of the life of Israel.
04:54Because again, the verse says, people judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
05:01Let's be challenged also not to judge people, whether we know them or not,
05:06by how they look on the outside, by how they dress, by how they walk and talk.
05:12Because only God knows the hearts.
05:15Let's read that verse again.
05:17Together.
05:17People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
05:251st Samuel 16, 7.
05:28Let's pray.
05:31Hold your hands, bow your heads, close your eyes, repeat after me.
05:33Say, Father God.
05:34Father God.
05:37That you.
05:38That you.
05:39Do not judge.
05:40Do not judge.
05:41People.
05:42People.
05:43By outward appearance.
05:44By outward appearance.
05:46You look.
05:47You look.
05:48At the heart.
05:49At the heart.
05:50Help us.
05:51Help us.
05:51To reflect.
05:52To reflect.
05:53Your heart.
05:54Your heart.
05:55Your love.
05:56Your love.
05:57Your care.
05:57Your care.
05:58For others.
05:59For others.
06:00Not to judge.
06:01Not to judge.
06:02By the outside.
06:03By the outside.
06:04But to look.
06:05But to look.
06:06On what's inside.
06:07On what's inside.
06:08In Jesus' name.
06:09In Jesus' name.
06:10Amen.
06:10Amen.
