Sermon points
 1 – The Voice Still Comes
        •       God’s voice still calls, even in your shame.
        •       He comes to reconnect, not to expose.

2 – Even in Blessing, Be Watchful
        •       Sin can strike even in paradise.
        •       Be as vigilant on the mountaintop as in the valley.

 3 – Fear Rewrote Our Nature
        •       Sin rewired our identity, making God’s presence terrifying.
        •       Fear changes how we see God, not how He sees us.

 4 – When Your Father Taught You to Hide
        •       We hide from God due to fear learned in childhood.
        •       God’s call is love, not anger, seeking to restore us.

5 – The Blame Game
        •       Sin leads to blame, not confession.
        •       Only you can own and repent for your choices.

6 – What Sin Costs
        •       Sin fractures identity, relationships, and vision.
        •       Its wages are death, but God offers eternal life.

7 – When We Are Found
        •       God rejoices when He finds you, not judges.
        •       The Shepherd carries you home, broken and weary.

8 – When You’re Found… What Happens Next?
        •       Being found starts a journey of restoration.
        •       God calls you to walk with Him, not just be rescued.

9 – A New Creation
        •       You’re not just forgiven—you’re remade in Christ.
        •       Stop clinging to the old; embrace your new identity.

Altar Call – Come Out of Hiding
        •       God calls “Where are you?” with love, not anger.
        •       Step out from hiding to be healed and held.
