Our time in the chapel is the heart of camp. The teaching and worship times help us to remember why we are here and that this is God’s camp. We have only to be available to be used by Him.
‘The Ultimate Rescue, The Ultimate Hero’ is our camp theme this year. It comes from Zeph. 3:17. The Bible is all about Jesus from beginning to end. Our Bible teacher, Miss Kalie, started her teaching in Genesis. God created a perfect world and He didn’t intend for suffering to happen. However, He uses suffering as part of the plan He has for each one of us.
Tonight’s chapel will focus on sin and how sin causes slavery; Slavery to the things of the world and what it has to offer. For most of us, God is simply not enough. His rules and boundaries actually set us free and yet we often choose to go our own way.
On Wednesday, Miss Kalie will talk about how it is our heart’s desire to be pursued and rescued. She will tell the story of Homer and Hosea. God also pursues us and buys us back. That will lead into Thursday’s teaching about the cross being the ultimate expression of God’s love.
Somehow, we try to make the rescue (the Gospel message) about us. We wonder why everything in our lives is not perfect once we choose to believe. Friday, Miss Kalie will try to answer that big question as well as questions the girls have. They were asked to consider what one question they would you really like to ask God.
This week at Teen Girls Camp, we will all hear from God through Miss Kalie and the worship times in which we give God all the glory.
