Silent Sounds

 BEACH RETREAT 2025

WELCOME

Welcome to Silent Sounds!

Thank you for subscribing to the Silent Sounds daily devotionals that are an important part of Second’s Beach Retreat experience for our JHigh and High School students each summer. The devotionals you read each day will mirror what our students are studying during their quiet times on the beach each morning and late afternoon.

This year, students will be reading the Sermon on the Mount and applying its teachings to their daily lives. Matthew 5-7 is sometimes called the “Christian Manifesto” because it contains, in Jesus’ own words, what He wants His followers to be and to do.

The Sermon on the Mount describes the behavior Jesus expects from His disciples. It addresses the Christian’s character, his influence, his devotion, and his relationships. Every verse points us to Jesus – and shows us the kind of life it is possible to have when we are members of God’s family.

Each day, remember to pray for the students who are attending this life-changing week at the beach. Ask God to speak to your heart as well. Whenever we spend moments alone with God, Bible in hand,  we can be assured that He will bless our time and remind us how powerful a daily time with Him can be.
