In morning 1 of summer camp session, Derrick Milner, centered on the theme of "All In" with Worship, drawing parallels between the Israelites' wavering faith and the challenges modern youth face in fully committing to God.

Key Takeaways:

• The Importance of Worship: The speaker emphasized that true worship goes beyond singing songs or outward expressions; it's about trusting God completely, even when it means "looking foolish" to others.

• The Story of Elijah on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18): The message heavily featured the story of Elijah challenging the prophets of Baal. The speaker highlighted how God dramatically responded to Elijah's faith, consuming the water-drenched sacrifice with fire, demonstrating His power and authenticity.

• Trusting God in Impossible Situations: The act of pouring water on the wood before the fire challenge was used to illustrate Elijah's immense trust in God to do the impossible. This served as a metaphor for believers to trust God even in their darkest and seemingly hopeless circumstances.

• Biblical Examples of "Looking Foolish": The speaker provided several examples from the Bible where individuals "looked foolish" by obeying God, but ultimately experienced marvelous outcomes:

  • Noah building an ark when it had never rained.

  • Moses parting the Red Sea.

  • The Israelites marching around Jericho without weapons.

  • David fighting Goliath with a sling and a stone.

  • Mary conceiving Jesus as a virgin.

  • Peter walking on water.

  • Jesus on the cross.

• Call to Action: Campers were encouraged to engage in worship in a way that is authentic and personal to them, regardless of what others might think. The speaker urged them to surrender their doubts and problems to God, believing that He can work miracles in their lives.

The session concluded with a prayer, reinforcing the message of unwavering faith and trust in God's power.
