(Genesis 1)

2.            Cursed is the ground because of you. Genesis 3:17a

B. Ground Rules: James 1:12-15

1. Own your own lust.

3. Taste and see that the Lord is good! (Psalm 34:1-10)

D. Next Steps 

1. Look at your own soul.
2. Where do you settle for cheap substitutes?

4. Go live in freedom!
