"  _______ Camp Chaos VBS Overview: A Vacation Bible School Curriculum for 2025   The Bible begins with an image of chaos.    Genesis 1:1-2 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters."   At this point, the initial ingredients of creation exist in states of formlessness, emptiness, and darkness. In the Bible, waters are often used to symbolize chaos and disorder. Soon God’s creative acts will transform the chaos into order and beauty. But initially, creation exists in a state of mayhem. And where is God?   He is over the waters. He is above it all.    In these chaotic times, we need to be reminded that our God is above the chaos. This truth is lived out in the words and actions of Jesus. In the Gospels, we learn that… Jesus Is Our Strength In Chaos - Day 1 VBS Lesson Key Verse: "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock." Matthew 7:24 Scripture: The Wise & Foolish Builders, Matthew 7:24-27 In this parable, Jesus describes how the firm foundation of His teaching gives us the strength to stand firm in the chaotic storms of life.
