Sunday and Camp Next Week - FAMILY PLUS Children's

Has it ever been hard to hope. I mean have you ever been "hopeless." Sometimes when we are left to stew over certain issues in our minds we begin to feel hopeless. And the truth is we are hopeless if Jesus Christ didn't come into the picture. Just ask Paul. 

I love the picture of how Paul encountered Christ in Acts 9. 1) He was blinded because He, a sinner, saw a holy God. 2) Then a while later, the old fell away. In other words, something like scales fell from his eyes. 3) He was given new eyes to see the world with. These new eyes were eyes of hope. Eyes that saw the world and considered everything they saw in light of the truth that Christ had risen from the dead. 

Admittedly so, this is easier said than done, but take the challenge to slow down your life and thought process this week to consider every thing and person you encounter through the truth that Christ has indeed risen from the dead. If you have a 3rd-5th grader going to camp with us next week, this is the exact thing we will be covering with your kids. Pray over your kids as they encounter God in hearing about the life of Paul.

The details for this week are:

Scripture: Acts 9:19-31

Life Point: God makes all things new...even you.
