Today, we look at a Day 1 text from this year’s summer curriculum, “From Generation to Generation” and one of the alternative stories we may use with the campers.
Prayer: God, help us to more fully trust your promises today and every day. Amen. Reading: Genesis 18:1-15 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: Why are we always trying to hide our true emotions when we think others will look down upon us? Sarah laughs when she is told she will have a child in old age. But, she tries to deny it. But, she is called on it. And, guess what, it comes true. She does have a child in old age. As we study “From Generation to Generation” this summer, we will look at how God keeps God’s promises. Even when the present and future seem uncertain, we can trust God’s promises. God promised Sarah a child. And it happened. Hopefully, as we look at the story of Abraham and Sarah this summer, our campers will learn to trust God’s promises. When God says it, it is so! --Chad Hershberger
