Learning From Examples
Dr. Richard A. Knopp
Family Camp, Grove Christian Camp – Dorena, Oregon
Sept. 4-7, 2026
This page provides resources for presentations at Grove Christian Family Camp. The theme is derived from 1 Corinthians 10:1-6,11 and Romans 15:4.
“Now these things occurred as examples …. These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us …” (1 Cor. 10:6,11).
“For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope” (Rom. 15:4).
