2025 Summer Theme - "Not Just Blind Faith"

“Not Just Blind Faith” emphasizes the truth that belief in Jesus Christ is not meant to be a thoughtless or unquestioning leap into the unknown. Rather, Christianity invites believers to engage their hearts, minds, and spirits in a faith that is grounded in evidence, reason, and personal experience.

Far from being wishful thinking or inherited tradition, the Christian faith stands on a solid foundation—one built on historical evidence, fulfilled prophecy, and eyewitness accounts. For example, the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ are supported by historical records from both biblical and non-biblical sources. Archaeological discoveries continue to affirm the cultural and geographical accuracy of the Scriptures.

Fulfilled prophecies—particularly those pointing to Jesus in the Old Testament—demonstrate the intentionality and trustworthiness of
God’s plan throughout history. This evidence shows that faith in Christ is not a blind leap but a reasoned response to God’s clear and reliable revelation. Rather than discouraging questions, Christianity welcomes honest inquiry.

Jesus Himself often engaged with people’s doubts, meeting them with truth and compassion. The Bible urges believers to seek understanding, to test everything, and to hold fast to what is good
(1 Thessalonians 5:21).

Faith is not about ignoring hard questions—it is about pursuing solid answers and discovering that God’s truth holds firm under scrutiny.
But this faith is not meant to stay in the realm of intellect alone.

As we grow in the knowledge of God through Scripture, prayer, and learning, our understanding should lead to transformation. Faith must be lived out. James 2 calls believers to a faith that produces action—love, compassion, service, and obedience.

The more we understand God’s truth, the more our lives
should reflect it in how we treat others, make decisions, and walk with Christ daily.

So “Not Just Blind Faith” means Christianity is not about passively accepting beliefs or blindly following tradition. It is an invitation to explore the richness of God’s truth, to grow in understanding, and to live out a faith that is vibrant, grounded, and life-transforming. A faith rooted in truth is not only intellectually satisfying—it shapes the way we live, love, and follow our Lord every day.

Each week will explore the same theme, but the balance between focusing on evidences and practical Christian living will be adjusted to best fit the age group.
