Day 3 SonRise National Park VBS


Tuesday evening we focused on relying on God's word to help us obey God. When Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness, He used God's word to resist. We learned that when we're tempted, we also can rely on Scripture to resist temptation. Jesus gives us True Power.

In the skit, the 3 contestants of True Nature Survivor were all tempted to cheat in order to win last night's competition. The true winner was the one who came in last place but resisted the temptation to cheat.

During crafts, the children talked about all the things that they carry around in their school bags and what things they would carry in a back pack if they went on a hike. We also sometimes carry things we can't see--like anger, jealousy, sin and unforgiveness. We all agreed that we already carry enough heavy stuff around every day, so we shouldn't carry all the extra bad stuff. We decorated back packs to help us remember that Jesus gives us true power to resist temptation.


The children had a great time at games with the giant parachute and surfboard races. There was also some super soakers to keep everyone cool(er). "It is Written" is a really cool song we learned to remind us to depend on God's word. We also discovered that we have some very good dancers in our group. Even our adult group leaders got into the competition.

"God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out."
