Information for 2010 Winter Youth Retreats

Senior High I – January 8-10

Speaker: Lynn Miller

Topic: Choose Whom You Will Serve

Joshua 24:14-15
Just as in Joshua's time when the tribes of Israel were following the gods of their fathers, youth of today are being tempted to follow the gods that surround them, gods called "Self", "Culture" and "Mammon". And just like Joshua challenged the tribes to put away those gods and choose to serve the God of Israel, Jesus Christ calls to us to put aside those gods and make the choice to serve and follow Him. But it's not an easy thing to do, for those gods have us square in their sights and offer immediate gratification. Each session will identify specific places where choices must be made, and give tools that will help youth make the right choices.
