High School Camp Day 3 Recap

Hey Parents and Hebron Family!

We can't believe we only have one full day of Camp left! Inked:God's Mark on Your Life has been covered in prayer and we continue to be amazed at what God is doing in the lives of our students.

Yesterday morning we heard from Pastor Kevin, who came down and has been loving on your students since Monday. He spoke to us about "Marks Worth Leaving" and drove home the point that each one of us leaves marks everywhere we go, whether we mean to or not, good or bad.

Here are some marks worth leaving...

1. Encouragement (1 Thess. 5:11, Heb. 3:13)
2. Kindness (Eph. 4:32)
3. Forgiveness (Col. 3:13)
4. Imitation (imitating Christ and people following Him closely. We talked about how important it is to have people you can look up to) (Eph 5:8)
5. Thanksgiving (Eph. 5:4 and Psalm 100:4)
6. Service (1 Peter 4:10)

He also asked students 2 very important questions, worth each of us asking ourselves regularly:

"Is your life worth imitating? If people follow you, are they going to meet Jesus?"

Then last night, Kelly Knouse gave us a challenging word from 2 Samuel 24. He made the point that "Sin is like the undertow in the ocean current; you get in and then little by little it pulls you way down shore...until you look up and realize you have NO idea where you are, that your stuff is waaaay down the beach."

Sin is sometimes a slow fade, so we have to take some action in order to battle appropriately...

1. Identify sin specifically
2. Confess sin immediately
3. Turn from sin completely

Now we're on to Day 4 and will look forward to hearing all the stories today of how family groups went last night as they two great sessions and fun time at Rec yesterday sparked conversations.

Jesus is getting glory! Keep praying!

Thanks-

The HSM Team
