VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL - SUMMER 2023
JUNE 4-7, 6:00-8:00 pm (Grades 1-8)
We are engaged in an epic battle for the hearts and minds of our youth. Every day, they’re bombarded with lies about who they are, who their Creator is, and where their salvation comes from. Thankfully, God has given his children armor to wear in this battle between truth and lies, light and darkness, good and evil.
This summer, troupes will learn how to be a part of God’s kingdom through faith in his Son, Jesus, and to put on the armor of God with Keepers of the Kingdom: Standing Strong in Today’s Battle for Truth. Our Royal Majesty’s kingdom is under attack, and we must prepare for battle.
Day 1: The Two Kingdoms
We will discover there are just two kingdoms—the kingdom of light versus the kingdom of darkness. One is ruled by the good King, Creator God. The other is ruled by the enemy, Satan.
Day 2: The Belt
We must decide our side. Those who become citizens of God’s good kingdom need to wear the armor of God daily, starting with the belt of truth that helps us have an unshakable trust in God’s Word, along with helping us live as truthful people.
Day 3: The Breastplate and Shoes
The breastplate helps God’s children put on Christ’s righteousness and grow in right living. The shoes show us we can be at peace with God, which helps us stand firm in our Christian convictions and share Jesus with others.
Day 4: The Shield and Helmet/The Sword and prayer
The shield and helmet protect us from the enemy’s attacks - wrong thinking, discouragement, and deception. We will learn to discern!
The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God, which helps us train our brains to know, memorize, love and obey God’s Word. And as we battle, we must pray!
