Vacation Bible School Director: Dale Shy
“Our Vacation Bible School theme is “Breaker Rock Beach.”
The Biblical lessons in “Breaker Rock Beach” flow from the motto “God’s truth never changes!” and the theme verse, Romans 12:2: “Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God” (CSB).
“We’re living in a world where culture has become the primary determinant of what is considered true, normal, and celebrated.” Children must wrestle with the differences between what the world says is true and truth as defined by Scripture. They need to learn to think Biblically and practice discernment to spot counterfeit.
“Next year’s VBS will help children discover that God’s Word is not like the shifting sands of popular belief that can change as quickly as a wave washing away a sandcastle.” “They will discover that God’s truth is immovable, unchanging and worth building one’s life upon.” “Breaker Rock Beach” includes the following daily focus points and Bible stories, along with “some people say” statements juxtaposed to “God says” truths.
Day 1: Truth comes from God. Bible story: Satan tricked Adam and Eve.
Some people say: “Truth can be different for different people.”
God says: “Truth comes from Me.”
Day 2: God’s plan is best. Bible story: Daniel chose God’s way.
Some people say: “Do what makes you happy.”
God says: “My plan for you is even better.”
Day 3: Everyone needs Jesus. Bible story: The rich young ruler
Some people say: “Being a good person gets you into heaven.”
God says: “Everyone sins and needs a Savior.”
Day 4: Jesus is the only way. Bible story: John wrote about Jesus.
Some people say: “There are many ways to get to heaven.”
God says: “Jesus is the only way.”
Day 5: Speak the truth in love. Bible story: Paul encouraged the Ephesians.
Some people say: “If you don’t agree with me, you don’t love me.”
God says: “Speak the truth in love.”
