IntroductionHit a balloon toward a goal and

it doesnt always go where

intended. The same is often

true in our pursuit of goals in

life. But with teamwork and

concerted effort we can make

progress toward the goals God

has laid out for us.

should we simply trust in

God for the future?

Scriptural Application

Is God is goal-oriented? (John

5:17; Ephesians 1:10) Were Jesus and other biblical

leaders spiritually goal-

oriented? (Luke 13:32; John

17:4; 1 Corinthians 9:26,27;

Philippians 3:13,14; 2 Timothy4:7,8)

What are some of the goals we

should have as Christians? (1

Corinthians 9:24,25; 2 Peter

1:5-8; 1 Peter 3:15; Hebrews

10:24,25)

What role does the rest of the

Body of Christ play in setting

our goals? (1 Corinthians 3:4-9)

Bible Studies based on the book of Jonah

Only. This youth camp curriculum was

designed to teach the basic truths

ofobedience in addition to evangelism in thecontext of a Biblical character. The advantage

of going through a book and looking at one

man's story is that we see not only the

teaching but the example. It becomes much

more real!

Who Do You Say that I AM?

www.creativeyouthideas.com/resources/whodoyousay.html

-> Tell me about Who Do You Say that I AM?

Jesus asked the disciples, "Who do others

say that I am?" It was easy to answer

because it required no conviction, no

commitment, and no risk. But then he

follows that question with another, "Who

do YOU say that I am?"
