JAM CAMP starts TOMORROW! 🏕️✨

Are you ready to unplug from the noise, leave the distractions behind, and hit the refresh button?

This year, we are diving deep into our theme: RESET: Going Back To Original Design. We live in a world that constantly tries to tell us who we should be, but this weekend is all about stripping away those labels and rediscovering exactly who God created us to be from the very beginning.

Expect epic worship, life-changing messages, wild games, and unforgettable memories with your JAM fam!

God is about to do something absolutely amazing. See you tomorrow! 🔥

"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them."

OVERCOMING STRESS

2 Corinthians 4:7-9

“But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;”

We are in a generation where we are pressured to Produce. Achieve. Perfect. Repeat
Hard-pressed (thlibō,) which means to squeeze, hem in, compress, or crush like grapes in a winepress.

STRESS VS. PRESSURE
Pressure is an inevitable external force or test of faith from the world, while stress is the internal anxiety that arises when we rely on our own strength instead of God.

Pressure is normal and beneficial

1. The Pressure at the Garden of Gethsemane
Luke 22:39-44 (ESV)

The name of this garden is Gethsemane. In Hebrew, Gat-Shmanim literally translates to "The Oil Press."

First Press (Light):
Historically used for temple lamps. The pressure extracts the oil that creates light in dark places. Your pressure qualifies you to be a light of hope to someone else walking through darkness.

Second Press (Food/Sustenance):
Used for cooking. The pressure transforms you into someone who can feed and nourish others through wisdom.

Third Press (Healing/Soap):
Used for medicine and cleansing. Your scars become a balm of healing for broken people.

"God never wastes a crisis. If He has allowed the pressure, He has budgeted the grace required to sustain you through it."

Why did Jesus endure the Oil Press?
• To substitute for our failure under pressure: When we look at Adam in a perfect Garden, under zero pressure, he failed.
Jesus, in a crushed garden under ultimate pressure, submitted to the Father.
• To validate our pain: We do not serve a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses (Hebrews 415). If you feel pressed to the point of breaking today, look at Gethsemane. Jesus has been there. He knows the weight.

Elijah’s Burnout
•Physical Restoration
•The Gentle Whisper

What to do?
Matthew 11:28-30

Philippians 4:6-7 the Formula of peace

Refuse the Panic: "Do not be anxious..."
* Refuse the panic: Don't be anxious about anything
* Redirect the Pressure: "In everything by prayer and supplication..." (Tum your worries into prayers).
* Retain Gratitude:"..with thanksgiving." (Remind your
soul of what God has already done).
* Receive the Guard: The result is a supernatural peace that acts like a wall, standing watch over your emotional and mental state.

Remember :
Don’t succumb to pressure let the pressure be the platform for excellence

Unshaken Faith in an Unstable World

A Shifting World describes the condition of today’s society where everything seems to constantly change; beliefs, morals, priorities, relationships, technology, culture, and even people’s identity. What was once considered right may now be questioned, and truth is often replaced by personal opinions or temporary trends.

WHAT TO DO WHILE LIVING IN THIS WORLD AS ENTITLED CHILD OF GOD

STAND FIRM IN FAITH
1 Peter 5:9-10
[9]But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.

HELPFUL KEYS TO HAVE AN UNSHAKABLE FAITH IN AN UNSTABLE WORLD
1. Stay Rooted on God's Word
2 Timothy 3:16-17
[16]All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
[17]so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

NOTE :
“It doesn’t matter how many Bible verses you memorize, but how deeply those verses impact and take root in your life.”

2. Keep Your Prayer Life
Prayer keeps your relationship with God alive and strong. It gives strength during temptation, peace during trials, and guidance during uncertainty.

1 Thessalonians 5:17
[17]pray without ceasing;

Faith becomes weak when prayer becomes weak.

3. Fix your Eyes on Jesus
Distractions, fears, and worldly desires can pull us away from God. The key to standing firm is keeping Christ at the center of our lives.

Hebrews 12:2
[2]fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

NOTE: Let Jesus be your anchor in this shifting world.

4. Surround Yourself with Godly People

Your environment influences your faith. Fellowship with believers encourages spiritual growth, accountability, and strength.

Hebrews 10:24-25
[24]and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,
[25]not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. Christ or Judgment

5. DO NOT COMPROMISE YOUR CONVICTION
The world may pressure you to follow trends, fit in, or lower your standards. But believers are called to stand for truth even when it is unpopular.

Romans 12:2
[2]And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

Remember :
1 Peter 5:8
[8]Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

A shifting world will always try to move your faith, but a life built on Christ cannot easily be shaken.

James 4:4
[4] You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

STANDING FIRM IN A SHIFTING WORLD (NO COMPROMISE)

“Hindi ka lalago sa buhay pananampalataya mo kung puro ka compromises”

1. Sneaky nature of compromise
* Structural Integrity
* Boiling frog

"DO NOT CONFORM TO THE PATTERN OF THIS WORLD, BUT BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND." - ROMANS 12:2

2. King Nebuchadnezzar Golden Image
* Intimidation
* Indoctrination
* Isolation

3. The training ground of conviction
* Daniel 1:8 says, “But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine…”

4. The “Even If Faith”

4.1.It does not apologize for truth: “We do not need to defend ourselves…” They didn’t say, “Well, my personal truth is different than your truth.” Truth is not relative; it is absolute.

4.2.It knows God's Power:
"The God we serve is able
* Do you believe God is able to heal?
* Able to provide?
* Able to save your marriage?
* You must know His power.

4.3.It rests on Unconditional Obedience: "...But even if he does not...

5. THE FOURTH MAN IN THE FIRE
* God did not save them from the fire; He saved them in the fire.
* You will never be alone in the fire.

Remember:
•DO NOT CONFORM, STAND FIRM!
