2008 Summer Camps
About This Summer's Theme
Sometimes the best kind of story is one with a surprise ending.
Jesus was a big surprise to a lot of people. Born in a stable, from a cow-town in the middle of nowhere, he surprised a lot of people with the things he did. But just as surprising were the things he said.
Everyone expected the Messiah to come triumphantly bringing God's wrath to everyone and everything that caused them problems. Jesus knew they were in for a big surprise.
This summer we'll take a look at a few stories Jesus told with surprise endings. He told these stories to prepare his disciples and followers (and us too!) for the ultimate surprise ending: when instead of bringing God's judgment upon the enemies of God's people, Christ bore that judgment himself, dying on the cross for our sins.

are prepared to appeal to the tastes of children, yet provide healthy
