MESSAGE NOTES

A Love Story | Part 2

At that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves. When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees. Then the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” He replied, “I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.” Genesis 3:7-10 (NLT) What will happen to me if I continue to live in my shame and fear? 1. I will ___________________________________________. About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve. Luke 15:14 (NLT) 2. I will ___________________________________________________________________. He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his fields to feed the pigs. The young man became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him.

Please take me on as a hired servant.’” Luke 15:17-19 (NLT)
