Camp Meeting 2022 (Overview)

Overview

Main Text: Romans 5:3-5.

Main Point: My identity is not found in my sufferings, but in God’s love for me.

He who loves me is greater than what I go through.

Divisions:

Part 1: “Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance.”

Point: My sufferings don’t define me, but they make me stronger.

We can only overcome our sufferings because we are full of power.

The goal is not to get rid of suffering, but to master it. To love in the face of suffering.

Because I am royalty, suffering does what I want it to do.

Part 2: “and endurance produces character.”

Point: The deeper I know this, the fuller I become.

Endurance sports. Endurance training.

When I trust in who God has made me to be, I become a deeper version of myself.

If you want to be you, be you.

Endurance is less about fighting, and more about being.

Part 3: “And character produces hope, and hope does into put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”

Point: The fullest version of myself intimately knows that I am loved by God.
