This VBS was intended to go along with the 2020 Summer Olympics. However, both the Olympics and our VBS were postponed until the following summer. So, this turned out to be our 2021 VBS. Nevertheless, the focus of these lessons was “striving for the prize.” We looked at the spiritual principles that can be learned from physical competition. Lessons are all found in one file below. Lessons included:
- Bible Olympics – All Lessons
- Wrestling – Jacob Wrestles the Angel (Genesis 32:24-32; Hosea 12:3-5; Ephesians 6:12)
- Running the Race – Paul and the Christian Life (1 Cor. 9:24-27; Heb. 12:1-2; 2 Tim. 4:7-8)
- Weightlifting – Samson Shows His Strength (Judges 16)
- Swimming – Jonah and the Great Fish (Jonah 1 – 4)
