Questions to ask your child The incredible story of how God redeems started when He created the world. When we sinned, it was “game over,” but God “reset” our story with the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus. In 2014, campers will learn what it means to be redeemed by God. They will discover how God’s redemption resets our hope of eternal life with Him, by providing forgiveness of sin, and making a way for us to be with Him forever! Key Verse: “Israel, put your hope in the Lord. For there is faithful love with the Lord, and with Him is redemption in abundance.” Psalm 130:7
Day 1: God Reaches down to redeem us- Campers will learn about the first sin of Adam and Eve and how that affects us today. We will take a look at how because of sin, we are in need of God’s redemption. From the very beginning, people have sinned and have needed God to redeem them. Day 2: God rescues from captivity- God rescued the Israelites from captivity in Egypt. We will study the story of Passover and make the connection between the Passover and the sacrifice Jesus made for us to rescue us from sin. What God did for the Israelites helps us know Jesus came to rescue us from slavery to sin. Day 3: God reconciles through Jesus- We will learn about how we are redeemed because of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Campers will learn the only way we can be redeemed of our sins is through Jesus. Day 4: God restores for a purpose- On this day, we will study the story in Mark of the paralyzed man who was physically healed and forgiven of his sins to glorify God. Campers will learn God restores us for for a purpose and how we should live because of the redemption we experience. Day 5: God reaches out through us – Campers will learn that God can use us to help restore someone else. As people who have been redeemed, we should not keep this to ourselves.
