ADAMS FARM LAKE SCRIPTURE
SCAVENGER HUNT
Adams Farm ARP Church in Jamestown, NC, created a scripture scavenger hunt during the Covid-19 Lockdown complete with a Spotify music playlist to enjoy during the walk. Below are a few examples of the different stops along the walk by the lake.
Bridge/Dam: Standing in the center of the bridge/dam, look over the edge (Facing Adams Farm Parkway). Is the water roaring, or just a trickle? What does Song of Solomon 8:7 say about waters and floods? Is God’s love for quenched in difficult seasons?
Fork in the Road: Right after you leave the stone building, you’ll see a fork in the path. You have a choice to make: Go left and you’ll stay close to the lake. Go right, and you’ll venture up past the pool and to the tennis courts. What does Matthew 7:13 say about the path (or gate) that we will choose? Is it always clear or easy to choose the right path?
Fences & Houses: You now have a short walk to continue along the path. Notice the fences and houses on your right. Each house has its own yard, property line, and a fence to keep the good things in and the bad things out. What would happen if you bought a house on this path and immediately removed the fence (or your neighbor’s fence)? What do Proverbs 22:28, Proverbs 23:10, and Deuteronomy 27:17 say about boundaries? What other kinds of boundaries (emotional, relational) could these verses apply to?
Trash can/Another path: Slow down here and keep any eye out for a sharp left turn in the path. If you go straight and end up on Bridle Ridge, then you’ve gone the wrong way. You’ll know it’s time to turn left because there is a small bridge and a trash can. What does Isaiah 64:6 say about trash (i.e. “filthy rag,” “polluted garment”)? Gross, right? If our best is still “trash,” aren’t you glad that God also gives us the promise of Ephesians 2:8-9?
Beside still Waters: After your left turn at the trash can, you’ll walk down a curved part of the path. There are houses up the hill to your right and water to your left. Pause here and read Psalm 23:1-6. Do you see:___ Green grass (v.1) ___ Still waters (v.30) ___ Path of “righteousness” (v.3)__ Valley of the shadow… (v.4) [the tree-line leading to the Bridle Ridge tunnel is usually shrouded in shadow. Maybe it’s not the “shadow of death,” but it is a little scary at night!
A light at the end: After your Psalm 23 interlude, keep walking until you reach the Bridle Ridge tunnel. This is your turnaround point. You can walk through the tunnel and then turn or you can turn around here. But before you go through the tunnel, notice how dark it is inside, but how light filters in through the other side. Matthew 4:16 talks about light and dark (alluding to Isaiah 9:2). Read Matthew 4:16. What did Jesus’ arrival mean for a dark world??
