Connecting Jesus

Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. Luke 24:27 NLT

Have you ever wanted to spend a few hours with a person to just be influenced and taught by them for a little while? Imagine being able to do that with Jesus!

The unknown third person (Jesus) took the time to walk with these two on this 7-mile journey through the writings of Moses and all the prophets showing the direct connection to Jesus and everything that has just taken place.

Think of it, to have the Old Testament’s relationship to Jesus, explained by Jesus.

Wouldn’t you like the same opportunity these two had?  Making sense of the prophets and the Torah and how all of that points us toward Jesus?  What a gift!

Come to think of it, we do have the same opportunity today.  While it is not a physical walk and talk for a few hours with Jesus, it is something that Jesus said was even better.

The Holy Spirit. This is how Jesus said it to His Disciples in John 16: 7 & 13a: “ But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you in all truth.”

The Holy Spirit guides us into all truth.  The presence of the Holy Spirit is with us every step of every walk as we follow Christ.

The challenge is spending enough time with the Holy Spirit and the scriptures to hear and appreciate what God’s word is saying.  There is a real need to dwell in God’s word and let the Holy Spirit lead us into a fuller realization of all that God wants us to understand.

Consider some blocks of time (perhaps the equivalent of a 7-mile walk) and let the Holy Spirit lead and guide you in the understanding of God’s word.

A Legacy of Faith: Michael Kanyid’s 40-Year Journey at Warm Beach Camp

There’s something special about the bonds that form at camp—a place where lives are shaped, hearts are opened, and faith takes root. For Michael Kanyid, his story at Warm Beach Camp is a powerful reminder of how moments can ripple through generations, changing not just one life, but many. It all started in 1983 when Michael was 17 years old. Michael grew up in a non-Christian home, and the idea of attending church or camp wasn’t something that was initially ...

The Words we Use

“Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.” Ephesians 4:29 NLT Early on in my role as Executive Director of Warm Beach Camp Ministries (nearly 30 years ago now), I would use foul language as a form of humor. At the time, I thought it quite clever to surprise people in a conversation with a “crass word zinger.” Often, it would ...
