Finding the Runaway Bride

Beloved in the Lord:
A foolish young man decided against his parents' wishes, and ran to his "neighborhood basement ear-piercer" and pierced his ears so he could be stylish.

Soon his ear lobe became severely infected and it gave him a fever.

So he tried to hide it from his parents because he knew he would be in trouble.

His parents saw that he was avoiding them so they called him to see what was wrong… and then they found out.

They had to rush him to the hospital to fix his ear and the infection. He was healed.

Though his parents were angry and disappointed in him, because they loved him, they helped him.

This is a small illustration of man's problem- a spiritual problem!

He sinned. He hid. He died. But then help came. Hear about this today.

Our headings are:

1. The Bride Hides
2. God Finds Her

Our goals are:
That you know the danger in which you were when you ran from God, and that you will be thankful that God came after you and helped you.
