Hot, Red and Toasty

First full day of activities. Yeash, it was a blast. Mermaids and mermen, volleyball glory, sand mansions and some good food made for a successful day!

Stuart Hall has continued to bring us challenging messages that are fun, yet full of truth. Tonight he spoke on true biblical faith. Biblical faith is more than just hoping for something better. Biblical faith is more than just trying to do more scripture reading/praying/singing in order to finally achieve an ultimate faith experience. Biblical fatith is not something you learn in order to get something from God. Biblical faith is a promise from God. A promise of ultimate deliverance. Biblical faith is hope bridged with promises from the Word.

Are we faithful or merely hopeful? Another great challenge was to discover whether or not our faith changes when life throws junk in our face. Great words. Thank you parents for all the emails, they have been a great encouragement to your students! We'll have pics up tomorrow and Monday.

With droopy eyes but a joyful heart,
Coleman
