New Life Peoria Youth Camp, October 10-12 – Psalm 1: The Mountaintop Experience

I had the privilege of speaking at a youth retreat for New Life Community Church Peoria (AZ).

Below are the videos of the four teaching sessions, including Session 3 led by my friend and their youth pastor Noah, and a sample booklet to go alongside the lessons. (We did not use a booklet on this trip, but it did help guide the discussions overall.)

The theme was “Psalm 1: The Mountaintop Experience,” looking at how to live a blessed life of growing in the presence of God rather than focusing on experiences.

May you enjoy and be blessed.

Psalm 1: The Mountaintop Experience

Session 1: Who do you listen to?

Session 2: The Mountaintop Experience: Obedience to whom?

Session 3: Where do I stand?

Session 4: Coming down from the mountain

VerseD: Jeremiah 17:7

“The man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence indeed is the Lord, is blessed.”

Jeremiah 17:7, HCSB

Satan tries to divide, most importantly by getting us to not trust or even think about God. But the Holy Spirit helps draw us near and have more faith and confodence in Christ.
