Summer Camp Theme

Matthew 7:24-25

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.”

What is your life built on?

We all have some kind of foundation we’re building our lives on. The question is whether or not that foundation is solid.

Matthew 7:25-25 tells us exactly where we can find a firm foundation. The words of Jesus, put into practice, are the rock we can depend on. Jesus, the Word of God, is unchanging. He is continually true and dependable no matter where we live, how old we are, or what we are going through.

This is the kind of foundation we need. The world around us is full of things we can build our lives on, but nothing it can offer will stand the test of time. Only Jesus can offer the stability we need. His truth doesn’t change. His word never lies.

Our goal this summer is to help campers have a firm foundation. We want them to have access to unchanging truth they can build their lives on. We want to return to the essential truths of Scripture and reinforce that Jesus can be their firm foundation in a world of shifting sand.

Having a firm foundation means that campers must know and believe truth about who God is, what he has done for us, and who he is calling us to be.

Throughout chapel messages and camp programming, campers will learn that God is the Creator of all truth and the author of Scripture, that Jesus is the Son of God who has made a way for his people to be rescued from sin and death, that when we accept the free gift of salvation we are born again into new life and community, and that because of Jesus we have a sure and steadfast hope for the future.

This is the kind of foundation you can be sure of. These are the truths you can build a life on.
