As a staff we believe that we cannot build everything into a person over four years, but our dream is that any student who is a part of Christian Challenge would:
1. Understand and experience grace through Jesus
2. Solidify a trusting and loving relationship with God
3. Grow more like Jesus in character and lifestyle
4. Take action to advance God’s Kingdom

What did the creation story teach them about God?
· The supremacy of God
This ran counter to the idea that there were many gods (sun, stars, moon, large creatures). God is one, not many. All those other things were created by him. Deut. 4:15.
Who is your God?
· The power of God
He created everything and rules over everything. When he speaks, things happen. He can handle the challenges of life. Jer. 32:17, 27.

· The sufficiency of God
He takes the initiative to relate to humans. He does not want them to be alone. He blesses them. He provides all they need for life. Deut. 32:46-47; 2 Peter 1:3
Is God enough?

Matt. 24:36-51 Romans 1:18-32 Galatians 6:7-8 2 Peter 3:1-14
One who exists without beginning (1:1)
One who is one, not many (1:1)
