In Matthew 5:13 Jesus tells us that his people are salt of
the earth. Recently, we defined that to mean that he calls us to be valuable
growth agents for his Kingdom. (Listen to that sermon here.)
During Vacation Bible School, Fellowship Church acted
as a fantastic growth agent for the kingdom. It was so wonderful to see so many
children from our area learning about Jesus! And it was just as wonderful to
see so many of our individual members investing themselves in fertilizing these
little kingdom shoots!
Thank you Fellowship Church for being the salt of the
earth in Alachua and High Springs.
I'm always amazed at how the lessons for these young ones
are good enough for the adults as well.
Take a look at what they learned this week:
1) They learned that God has an ultimate plan to save
each individual human from sin, and that His plan included a sacrificial love
for humanity. "For God so loved the
world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not
perish but have eternal life (John 3:16)."
2) They learned that God has ultimate power to meet
the difficulties in our world. "In this world you will have trouble. But
take heart! I have overcome the world (John 16:33).
3) They learned God provides an ultimate rescue from
death. "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will
live, even though he dies (John 11:25)."
4) They learned that we can place an ultimate trust
in God. "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry,
and he who believes in me will never be thirsty (John 6:35)."
5) They learned that God expects to us to love others with
his ultimate love. "A new command I give you: Love one another. As
I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that
you are my disciples, if you love one another (John 13:34-35).
So thank you Fellowship Church for doing your part to teach
these mighty truths to this next generation of Jesus followers!
