Probably a lot of you already have God’s peace in your heart.
One thing is for sure- you will never have peace in your heart when there are certain problems with your heart.
Tonight I brought along some problems that I know many of you have. The reason I know many of you have these problems is because I asked you parents before you left what problems you has so . . we could fix them at camp.
Problem #1 – The coat and hat problem
-Most kids have a really hard time with their coat and hat. For some reason they are so hard to hand up and put away.
-Who can tell me where you usually put them?
-on the floor, the chair, the table, the lamp
Problem #2 - The dirty dish problem
-Who here eats on dishes?
-It seems that no one under the age of 21 or so likes to do dishes.
-It seems that nobody ever knows what to do with their dirty dishes.
-What do you do with your dirty dishes?
-leave them in your room, on the floor, on the counter, in the TV room
Problem #3 – The dirty clothes problem
-Who here wears clothes everyday?
-How long have you been wearing clothes?
-It seems as if nobody know where their dirty clothes go.
-What do you do with your dirty clothes?
-put them back in your drawer, under your bed, in the closest
Problem #4 – The Book bag Dilemma
-Who here takes a book bag to school everyday?
-Who hear has ever misplace your book bag?
-You were sure your dog stole it, or your sister hid it.
-It seems that book bags end up everywhere except where they should.
-under the bed, in the trunk of the car, at school with your homework
The Solution
-What if I told you today that I had a solution to all these problems you have while growing up?
-Who would want the solution to these problems?
-Supposed I invented a robot that would take care of all your needs including doing your homework.
-Imagine never having to do another dish, or pick up your dirty clothes, or do homework.
The Solutions To Another Problem
-I don’t have a solution to all the problems we just talked about, but did you know that you have a bigger problem in your life – It is SIN
-What is sin? (the bad things you do)
-Sin is a really big problem – the worst in the world.
-Sin keeps us from being friends with God
-Sin makes us feel sad and unhappy inside
-Sin keeps us away from heaven
- There is a solution to sin.
- The solution is Jesus
-Jesus tells us he will carry all our sins. It doesn’t matter what we have done or for how long we have done it.
-The Bible says, “He personally carried the load of all our sins in his own body when He died on the cross, so that we can be finished with sin, and live from now on for all that is good. For his wounds have healed ours.”
-Jesus is the great problem solver – He solves our sin problem which is far worse than all the problems we talked about tonight.
