2. He felt lonely and confused even though he was sitting in a room full of screaming, laughing partying guys

3. Lately he had come face to face with a lot of things
Lately he had come face to face with a lot of things. His dad passed away and then his girlfriend left him.

7. “Drop me off at my place”! He yelled above the noise of the car.

8. Come on. Let’s party. Your just a sissy
Come on! Let’s party! Your just a sissy. Normally he would have pounded the guy. Tonight he just slammed the door and walked away.
Don’t be over come by evil, but over come evil with good. What’s the more important thing to please your friends or to do What God says?

9. He had a reputation for being tough and fearless
He had a reputation for being tough and fearless. He could give just about anybody a licking. He had done time in jail for it. He could drink more brews, score more goals, shoot more ducks, and kill more jumpers than anyone.

10. Is this what makes you cool?

11. All the guys wanted to hang around with him and all the girls did too.

12. “Everyone thinks I am so tough.
They all think I’ve got my life
life under control.
I wonder what they would do If they knew the truth?
Would anyone want to hang around me
if they knew I was scared most of the time?” he wondered.

13. DOES ANYONE REALLY KNOW WHAT GOES ON INSIDE OF ANOTHER PERSON
DOES ANYONE REALLY KNOW WHAT GOES ON INSIDE OF ANOTHER PERSON? WHAT ARE THEY REALLY LIKE?

14. LOOK UP HEBREWS 4:13

20. EVER SINCE THE FIRST MAN AND WOMEN TRIED TO HIDE FROM GOD……

21. MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASHAMED OF WHO THEY REALLY ARE
MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASHAMED OF WHO THEY REALLY ARE. They hide their problems and their need for help behind masks like kids at Halloween. Pretending to be a super hero, super sports guy, super tough guy or a monster.

22. Pride often keeps us from admitting the truth about ourselves: we are needy and sinful.

23. God knows…He has a solution, just like he had a solution for Adam and Eve.
God sacrificed innocent animals so that they could be covered. He knew they were feeling shame and fear and sadness. The animal died for them, just as Christ died to be our covering for sin.

24. The Lord has provided a covering that can take away our guilt and shame. He can make you into a brand new person!

28. WHAT MASK DO YOU HIDE BEHIND. TODAY I WANT TO START BEING HONEST
WHAT MASK DO YOU HIDE BEHIND? TODAY I WANT TO START BEING HONEST. I WANT TO BE REAL WITH GOD AND WITH OTHERS. I DO NOT NEED TO IMPRESS OTHERS

31. READ PSALM 33:18-20
