Summer Camp 2024 | The Difference Between Hidden And Hiding | Derrick Milner


Listen Later

Derrick Milner, Associate Director of Students, begins by expressing gratitude for the morning's worship and emphasizes the unique opportunity camp provides for personal and spiritual growth. They then pose the question: after finding what you're searching for (like salvation), what do you do with it? Using the story of Saul hiding during his coronation as king, the speaker contrasts hiding with being hidden, suggesting Saul's fear and insecurity led him to hide despite being chosen by God. They then contrast Saul with David, who, despite being hidden as a shepherd, stepped forward when called, exemplified by his fight with Goliath. The speaker urges the audience to consider whether they are hiding from God's calling due to fear or insecurity, or if they are ready to step out in faith like David. They connect this to the message of 2 Timothy 1:7-9, emphasizing the importance of sharing the gospel and answering God's call with love, power, and sound judgment, rather than fear. The speaker concludes with a prayer, asking God to help those who feel called to a deeper faith, baptism, or other acts of obedience to step forward boldly and trust in God's plan.
