GOD VIEW: the connection between faith
and God’s character, as shown through God’s big story
Summer is one of those times of the year when you
hope to escape your normal day-to-day and head off on a family vacation.
Perhaps you have a passport and hope to fill it with stamps and visas from
around the world or maybe you keep albums filled with photos from the places
you’ve seen and the people you’ve met along the way.
But when you think about it, these aren’t just
passport stamps and travel photos, they are stories capturing moments we lived.
As we travel the world and experience the different landscapes and cultures,
often we can’t help but notice that no matter where in the world we are, God is
already there and up to something amazing.
The prophet Isaiah writes, “The whole earth is
filled with God’s glory.” And that glory was made real when 2000-some years ago
a REAL human was born, lived a perfect life, died, and rose again. Of course,
that man is Jesus. And throughout the past 2,000 years since, His story—His
LIFE—has been changing the world.
This summer we’re excited for kids to experiencing
that life-changing story of Jesus first hand and put their faith in Him.
We’ll talk about faith like this:
Believing that what Jesus did can change me.
Our hope is that kids discover that no matter where
they are in the world, the story of Jesus can change them, too.
This summer, we get to view the story of Jesus
through a man whose life was radically changed when he encountered the story of
Jesus. He went from a person who did whatever it took to stop the message of
Jesus from spreading to one who ended up writing most of the New Testament of
the Bible and dying for his faith in Jesus. This man, as you may have already
guessed, is Paul. He went all over the known world preaching the Story of
Jesus. We’ll explore where in the world Paul was and how we fit into his story,
too.
