Thursday, July 18, 2019

Weather: currently 71 degrees, Overcast and cloudy with rain showers anticipated for this afternoon through the evening. A light breeze with no heat of the sun makes it a great day to play soccer this morning!

Chapel Message: The Rich Man

Speaker: Diego Mendieta

Matthew 19:1-2, 16-26

Jesus’ healing large crowds of people who followed him from Galilee.

Jesus teaches a rich young man what he must do to get eternal life.

What did Jesus mean when he said, “only one is good?”

Why did Jesus mention, “keep the commandments?”

Jesus teaches us that no one is perfect, no one is capable of keeping the 10 commandments.

Why was the rich man sorrowful?

What does verse 26 mean?

Wednesday

Skill of the day: Shooting

Songs at Chapel:

“Great is Your Love”

“Counting Every Blessing”

“Everlasting Love”

“Amazing Grace”

Chapel Message: The Face of Grace

Speaker: Diego Mendieta

Christ looks at you and says “I Love You”

Christ looks at you and says “You are worth it”

That’s what Jesus’ purpose was on earth, was to go to the cross and die for your sins. Amazing Grace.

Luke 23:32-43

Two other criminals on the cross with Jesus.

There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

You are in a court room convicted of crimes (all your sins). Jesus came and took our conviction away.

Can you point out the difference between the two criminals?
What did the second criminal understand about his condition before Christ?
What did one of the criminals say to Jesus?
Why was the response of Christ priceless?

Mark 12:30

“And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your souls and with all your mind and with all your strength.”

Tuesday Evening

It wouldn’t be Soccer Camp without RAIN 🌧

We had showers and thunderstorms late afternoon that interrupted free time at the water front, although campers had plenty to do elsewhere.

Tonight’s Evening Event: Endless Soccer

However, due to the extended rain after dinner Soccer was cut short and all campers returned to the chapel barn for more festivities instead!

Weather forecast shows thunderstorms all day Wednesday and into Thursday. Praying for breaks with sunshine ☀️

Scripture reference:

“For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.”

Ezekiel 36: 26

“And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.”

2 Corinthians 5:17

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation: old things pass away; behold, all things have been made new.”

Color Book Interpretation (visual example of the Gospel)

Color gold represent- streets of pure gold in heaven
Color black represents- sin
Color red represents- blood of Jesus on the cross, he died for us

Monday Evening Chapel

Evening Chapel Message

The campers learned 3 ways to look at scripture for better understanding and knowledge.

How do we study the Bible?

Who

What

Where

Acts chapter 9: 1-19

What Saul was like before he became a Christian.

Saul had an encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. He went blind for 3 days, the Lord spoke to him. The Lord’s mercy, grace and love surpassed anything Saul had ever or could ever do in his life. The man that brought initial destruction to destroy Christianity became a Christian himself. The Lord gave Saul a new name and it was Paul. Paul came to write 13 books of the Bible.

Take home:

We don’t deserve the love of God.

It doesn’t matter what you’ve done in your past, Jesus has the power to change you.

“We live in a world that everybody wants to change. You can change things you do; only Jesus can change who you are. And once he changes who you are, that changes what you do.”

Amen!
