When life
gives you lemons, Count it all Joy!
-
Theme
Scripture: James
1:2-4
-
Description: When life gives
you lemons, make lemonade.” A familiar old saying that seems
to be such a worn cliché, especially if someone quotes it to
us when we are in a great dilemma in our life. Health situations, loss
of jobs or something traumatic happening with our family members places
such a strain on our lives that we develop blinders and
we feel like we are unable to make lemonade out
of or change the situation. However, God does give us the strength to
deal with and handle even the most trying of circumstances. We may not
be able to stop the lemons from falling or make something better of a
situation, but we can be determined to better the way in which we
handle those 'lemons'. This retreat inspires you through
music, message and the exploration of God’s Word as we
discover ways we can count it all joy when we fall into various trials.

Radical
Obedience
-
Theme
Scripture: 1
Peter
1:13-16
-
Description: This
retreat focuses on how we can be radically obedient to the Lord. As
Christians we are called to be holy as God is holy (1 Peter 1:13-16).
In this retreat we define radical obedience and how happiness can only
be obtained by taking the steps of obedience. A look at who is called
to obedience and how we are called is explored along with how we should
respond. Faith is looked at in detail as being our motivator of radical
obedience and ultimately drawing us closer to God. A cross is used as
symbolization of how we should be obedient to the Father as Jesus was
when He died on the cross for our sins.
