"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them."

(Ephesians 2:8-10)

We had a great Vacation Bible School at our church last week with hundreds of children, and a small army of volunteers made it possible. It was a blessing to be able to have VBS on our campus again. We had about half the number we had pre-COVID in 2019, but what a blessing it was to see all the children learning about Jesus, playing with their friends, and enjoying being together. And the best news of all: 24 children accepted Jesus as their Savior and Lord!

The theme for this year's VBS was, "Spark Studio: Created in Christ, Designed for God's Purpose". Each day the children learned solid biblical truths like: God is the marvelous creator; God uniquely designed each person for His purpose; Jesus is the King whom God promised would come to save us; Jesus fulfilled God the Father's plan to save us, and the Holy Spirit gives us the power to follow God's plan for our lives.

Lifeway Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention does a phenomenal job each year creating a VBS that is fun, interactive, and full of biblical truths. The music is always spot-on and very catchy. I can still hear the theme song playing in my mind! VBS music has come a long way from when I was a kid! The videos, music, games, and biblical teaching make it such a great week for the children. The children led us in worship yesterday at church and did a great job.

Here are a few pictures from our 2022 VBS:

What a blessing it has been for our church to teach all the children who came to VBS that God loves them, and He has a marvelous plan for their lives. He created them for a purpose, and they are not mere accidents in this world. The same can be said for each one of you reading today's devotion. God loves you and gave His Son Jesus as a sacrifice for your sins. You can be forgiven and enjoy an eternal relationship with the God who created you! All you must do is turn from sin to Jesus by faith and ask Him to save you. The Bible says, "For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved" (Romans 10:13).

Do you have a relationship with God? If not, call upon Him now to save you, and He will! God will save you by His grace when you have faith, turn from your sins, and give your life to Jesus. Do so now! Let us at DFEA know about your decision so we can encourage you. You can email me at dforshee@dfea.com.
