Once again, many of the church’s children (and adults!) came together to give us another great Children’s Bible Camp!  This year the children put on three original plays that were drawn from three of Jesus’ parables.  The overall title of the camp this year was “Riddles of the Kingdom.”

The parable was one of Jesus’ favorite teaching techniques (see Matthew 13.34), and — as with all other things — Jesus was the absolute master of the parable.  Parables are fascinating.  They are kind of like puzzles (or riddles) that you must really enter into before you can begin to truly figure them out. 

The children treated the parable of the prodigal son, the parable of the wedding feast, and the parable of the good Samaritan.  Well done, children!  Not only have you gained a deeper understanding of these three riddles of the Kingdom, but you’ve encouraged us in the truth of the Kingdom as well.  May the Lord keep us all walking steadfastly in his truth until life everlasting!
