Vacation Bible School 2010 turned
out to be an awesome week! We had a
class of 27 that dug into the book of
James to find out what our lives
should look like when we are followers
of Jesus. Using real life examples,
movie clips, and skits, we got to really
understand what God wants from us.
The first night we saw that God
gives us what we need, and one of
those things is wisdom. A wisdom
that’s usable in real life, sometimes
makes “uncommon sense”, and that
makes us more like Jesus. We also
saw that God calls us to choose a
side: Him or The World. We can’t
expect to have the wisdom of God
when we are loyal to the things of this
world. (lust, selfishness, gossip...)
The next night we saw that
following Jesus meant not just taking
in God’s Word - but putting it into
action. Yes, we can’t earn our way into
heaven, it’s only by faith. But a true
faith will call us into action.
So actions speak louder than
words right? But the third night we
saw that our actions ARE our words.
Everything we say needs to pass three
tests: “Is it true?” “Is it loving?” and “Is
it necessary?”. We MUST get that right
because we saw that even though our
tongues are small, they have big and
sometimes disastrous results.
All these things are achieved by
what we learned about Wednesday
night - being close to God. We saw
that if we wanted to do that, we have
to humble ourselves, resist the devil
and his temptations, and let God
change our hearts and minds. Finally,
the last night we learned how to pray.
A big part of getting close to God is
knowing how important prayer is and
what it can do in our lives. God used
VBS to set up a foundation of truths
that we hope will have a big effect on
how we live our lives as followers of
Jesus Christ. I encourage you to take
a look at James and examine yourself.

The goal of the Freedom Student ministry:
Although it’s hard to sum up everything into one short statement; the basic goal ofour group is to develop relationships with God and each other. By learning about theBible and choosing to live our lives like Jesus Christ, we can make a difference in thelives of people around us. We do that through many different types of events. Week inand week out we dive into God’s word and figure out how it applies to our lives andhow we can use it to become closer to Jesus. We take trips and experience thingstogether so that we can build healthy and happy friendships and enjoy life as followersof Jesus. We also go out into the world and show the love of Christ by serving those inneed. All of these things are important if we are to live our lives as God has intended. So if you are a teenager reading this, we hope you know this isn’t just a place to be
so you’re not getting in trouble or a place to make you feel guilty. This is a group ofencouraging friends helping you figure out those tough questions in life. We also areliving proof that being a Christian teen doesn’t have to be boring!
If you are a parent reading this, we hope you realize how important it is for your teento have the accountability and influence that comes with a group like this. You havestrong men and women of God praying and serving your family, because that is whatGod has called us to do. So ask questions, get involved, and trust God!
