Reflections on the Daily Theme
Yesterday: Sin distorted God’s image in us
Ask: What is sin? How does it impact our relationship with God? Why do we need a Savior?
Tell student to wear gray “sin” shirt
This represents the sin in our lives
We are all sinners and owe a debt that cannot be paid by us
Today: Image Renewed
Desperate in sin > Jesus came to rescue and renew
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Tell student to wear white shirt over grey shirt
Surrender = New Creation
Father’s image renewed in us
Read verses on note cards
13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Ask: What are your thoughts on these verses?
Bible study today: churchy word that starts with ‘s” and ends with ‘ion’
Ask Does anyone remember this word? (Sanctification)
Ask: Does anyone remember the definition of this word?
Sanctification:
Being set apart for God’s purpose
Process of being freed and purified from sin
Process that begins at salvation
Camp = part of this process
What are things that someone can do to move forward in the sanctification process?
Read the Bible
Devote time to prayer
Serve and help those in need
Teach Sunday School
Lead worship
Etc
Sanctification is personal AND corporate
Called into body, group of believers, our church
Apart from the body, sanctification is not possible
Created for community
Take time to express thankfulness and gratitude for church and youth group
If you haven’t accepted Christ and begun process, please talk to me or other adult before you go to bed
