2008 VBS Topics and Theme

The Main Theme: Scottie with flagThe theme for these four days of Vacation Bible School was based on "Olympion," and the students were "in training" for a race of monumental importance —the race for life— which they discussed in five steps.

The Race of Life
Step 1: In the beginning God made people happy and holy.
Eccl 7:29 "...God made mankind upright."
Step 2: All people are weighed down by sin.
Rom 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Step 3: Sin brings death and judgement.
Eph 2:1 "As for you, you were dead in your ...sins."
Step 4: Believe in Jesus and turn from your sins.
Rom 5:8 "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Acts 3:19 "Repent, then, and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out..."
Step 5: Receive God's free gift of eternal life.
Eph 2:8 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—"
