SERMON NOTES

I. God will align circumstances to advance His love story.

II. God’s love story is generous with blessing.

III. God’s love wraps our stories into His big story.

 

FOR DISCUSSION AND REFLECTION

- What is the best way for your Valentine to let you know you're loved? A card with a personal note, an act of service, candy & a gift, snuggle time, or a deep conversation?

- Is it reasonable to ask God to line up so many specifics like Laban did? Why or why not?

- In what ways do we pronounce God's blessing on those we love? Are there specific events or rites of passage where we intentionally pour out prayers of blessing?

- What difference does it make to know that you're a part of the love story God is telling to the world? What changes if we acknowledge that God is the main character of our story?

- Who needs to receive the benefit of your prayers for blessing this week? Is anything keeping you from praying with that person?

- What is God saying to you through today's scripture?
