VBS Teensletter


VBS 1st Day

Today we explored the story of Gideon, a reluctant soldier who really didn't want the job God set before him. But because Gideon was willing to lead God's army in spite of his won doubts, God used him to bring about an incredible victory. God blessed Gideon's leadership, and He will bless ours.

Ask these questions to yourself;
  • What do you think makes someone a good leader or a bad leader?
  • What qualities made Gideon a good leader?
  • When it is hard for you to be a leader? why?
  • What things about you make you a good leader?

God give each of us the potential to be a leader for Him. In response to today's lesson, we were challenged to choose a specific way to GO Lead! Discuss this commitment and, if necessary, help your family and friends carry it out. Offer encouragement, support, and enthusiasm. Or go one step further and find a way for your family to lead together. Use this time to strengthen the special bonds within your family or friends as you serve God together.

Dear Xodusxteens,

Thank you for standing right beside me and showing such leadership during VBS. You touched me many ways ... you really stood up for Him and took responsible. I found your trust and hope that moves my doubts and fears away. So go for it! If you sense that God is calling you to do something extraordinary for him, but you're having a hard time seeing substance in the scribbles. You will see His drawing that will eventually make perfect sense. I did.

Call Upon His Name

Hopefully Part 1 of 3:

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Romans 10:13

A very simple and straight forward verse. It is through accepting Jesus Christ and calling his name, we are saved. Jesus' name is called in many ways and many different languages.

Dutch: Jezus
Hebrew: Yeshua
Gaelic: Iesu
Welch: Iosa
Haitian: Jezi
Arabic: Isa
Zulu: Gee-soo
Burmese: ye-shoo :D
Estonian: Jee-sus
Italian: Gesù
Spanish: Jesús
Romanian: Isus
Croatian: Isusu
Czech: Arcangelcaido
Polish: Jezus
Finnish: Jumala
Fijian: Jisu (Chi-Sue)

But, though we can call on Jesus' name in any language it is the manner of which we do it that really matters. Are you calling on Jesus' name spiritually or just physically?

Glory to Him

As Christians, glorifying God comes easy to us at church. We can easily sing along to praise songs and reach aloud the scripture. It is because we are around our fellow Christian brothers and sisters that we are comfortable to do these things. But, what if we were around our non-Christian brothers and sisters? Would we still glorify the Lords name with them around? The bible says to let the light of the Lord shine in you, so that others may see it.

In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:16

We must not be afraid to let the light of God shine in us around non-Believers. Whether we are praying before we eat or reading the bible, do not be afraid to do so. Let others see how great our God is. Do good and be an example, not only to non-Believers but to other Christians. In everything you do, let your light shine and let it glorify God.

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

1 Corinthians 10:31
