This past week we had the wonderful privilege of welcoming 80+ children from our congregation and community to our Good News Soccer Camp. It was an awesome week for learning about soccer, meeting new friends, having a lot of fun, and—most importantly—learning about our good and gracious God.

This year’s camp theme was “If God is for us, who can be against us?” The theme comes from Romans 8:31,32. Even though it is in the form of a question, those words point to an obvious answer. If God is for us, no one can be against us. If God is for us, nothing can be against us.

This week we talked about some of the things that otherwise would be against us. God’s law exposes how far short of it we’ve fallen. Our sin clings to us throughout our lives and follows us wherever we go. Sickness, catastrophe, and death threaten us on every side and spoil a life that was meant to be perfect. Thankfully, God is for us. As a result, no enemy and no evil can stand against us.
