FourteenIreland 2012: Day 12

Day 12: Bible Curriculum/Camp Theme

Today, Day 12 of our fourteen day journey, would you join me in praying for our Bible curriculum and camp theme: Run The Race?

In addition to great instruction and plenty of golf, I will be sharing a series of short messages from Hebrews 12:1-3, getting campers thinking about the topic of faith.  These messages will spur on further discussion that will take place in coaching groups (small discussion groups--more about this tomorrow).  The following four daily themes each express a truth about faith relevant to the Hebrews 12:1-3 passage.

  

• Monday: GET IN THE RACE
  Without faith, it's impossible to please God.
  "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses..." (Hebrews 12:1a)
  
  
• Tuesday: RUNNING OR STANDING STILL?
  Faith is the only thing that matters.  Get rid of everything else.
  "...let us lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely..." (Hebrews 12:1b)
  
  
• Wednesday: OUR EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW
  No one showed more faith than Jesus.
  "...and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame..." (Hebrews 12:1c-2b)
  
  
• Thursday: THE FINISH LINE
  Our response to faith today determines tomorrow's destiny.
  "...and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.  Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted." (Hebrews 12:2c-3)

  

Would you join us in praying for our curriculum?  Would you also pray for me as I communicate these truths to campers next week? And lastly, would you pray that these truths would penetrate the hearts of each camper?

Thanks for sticking with us in prayer!!

  
You are loved,
