Great Problem and a Greater Savior!!

We had a great first day at Camp Patmos!!
Each chapel we are going to look at a BIG IDEA and SOME BIG WORDS!     

I have the privilege to preach this week at the Junior (elementary age) camper @ Camp Patmos.

I will be preaching 8 times this week to junior campers and 8 times next week to middle school campers.  I want to use this page to help parents and others know the great truths we are learning this week.

If you want to see awesome pictures from the week, check out the Camp Patmos facebook page.

Monday's BIG IDEA was "God has a plan"

We also had several BIG WORDS that introduced the theme of the Bible and the truth of the Gospel.

Tonight's words were Condemnation, Redemption, Reconciliation, Adoption, Salvation, Disruption and Predestination.  Many of these words will be developed throughout the week.

We are all sinners in desperate need of a Savior.  (Condemnation)

God paid our ransom through the blood of Jesus Christ.  (Redemption)

Those who trust in Jesus Christ are made right with God.  (Reconciliation)

When we are saved we become children of God with our the benefits of being part of His family.  (Adoption)

The curse of sin no longer has a hold on those who are God's children.  (Salvation)

According to Romans 8:29, God has an eternal plan to make His own children like the Lord Jesus Christ.  (Predestination)

Tuesday's message focus on our relationship with God!

Tuesday morning's BIG IDEA is "sin affects man's personal relationship with God."

The BIG WORD is CONDEMNATION.

We are going to be looking at Genesis 3:1-12

Tuesday evenings's BIG IDEA is "Our sin is a big problem BUT Jesus a big savior"

The BIG WORD is JUSTIFICATION.

We are going to be looking at one of my favorite passages of scripture - Ephesians 2.
