DAY 1: REFUGE In the middle of difficult and overwhelming times, we can trust God to carry us through even the darkest of days and to guide our future. He is our Refuge.

Life Question: Where do you turn when life gets tough?Scriptures: Psalm 46:1-3, Mark 4:35-41Key Verse: Psalm 46:1

DAY 2: WITH US Living in a broken world, we often find ourselves searching for community and peace. We can rest knowing that God is with us always, even in the midst of the chaos. He is for us and with us.

Life Question: How does your brokenness isolate you and keep you from dwelling with God?Scripture: Psalm 46: 4-7, John 4:1-30Key Verse: Psalm 46:7

DAY 3: FAITHFULPersonal circumstances never exceed God’s power and faithfulness. Remembering how God has provided in the past gives courage for the future. He is faithful.

Life Question: How has God shown His faithfulness in your life and how does that give you future assurance?Scripture: Psalm 46:8-9, John 11: 38-44Key Verse: Psalm 46:8a

DWELL

The relationship between God and man was broken by our sin but has been restored through Christ. Because of this, we can draw near to God, enjoy fellowship and relationship with Him and experience His ultimate peace and rest. In our culture, we have so many things grabbing our attention such as our phones, devices, social media and social expectations. Along with the pressures of school and other activities, we often find ourselves overwhelmed, drained and feeling empty. Join us for FUGE Camps 2020 as we discover how to dwell with God, rest in His presence, push past distractions and focus on His peace. Spending time with the Lord changes everything!
