Our first night of worship drew us in to what is looking light a great week. One central component tonight is the camp theme — “The Way”. It continually surfaced in the drama.
Music was led by Addison Road. Our group has staffed and been with them previously, but they really had a heart to draw us in to worshipping God. Singing songs like “Your Grace Is Enough”, “Never Let Go” and “Mighty To Save”, we were drawn to focus on Christ, the One worthy of our worship and praise.
Ben Stuart, campus minister at Texas A & M (and leader of Breakaway Ministries, the campus ministry at A & M), is our camp pastor. Speaking from Genesis 1-3, he showed us from God’s Word how chapter 1 is not about creation as much as it is about the God of Creation revealing Himself to us. God is clearly seen in what He has made. In chapter 2, this personal God is revealed. “Lord God” was a familiar refrain, speaking of Yahweh, the covenant keeping One. But the world is a mess and Genesis 3 reveals how Eve’s disobedience caused us all to fall into sin. This wasn’t without hope for a seed would come and crush the serpent’s head. This is where we ended…(More to come)
After this, we ended up getting a cool drink and discussing the implications of this message as a group. We all seem encouraged and ready to serve at our project for the week.
