Hello friend, this is Max Locato.

Thanks for tuning in.

It's an honor to be with you.

As we study God's word together, may our time uplift and encourage you.

If you could use some hope, I pray you find it here today. You know God has great plans for you and we get a glimpse of his plans for you in the

Garden of Eden a perfect garden where God's children made in his image, live in perfect relationship

with him, with each other, and perfected bodies in a perfect paradise.

This story of the garden is more than a story.

It's a picture, a description.

It's a forecast of where our story is going to end up.

I hope you've said yes to Christ because when you say yes to Christ God stamps yes on your heart.

And what you're about to hear is a preview of what awaits all who say yes to God.

I wonder if you've ever had someone believe in you, convince you to try your best, try harder.

Have you ever had somebody who called out something within you that even you didn't know was there?

They became a cheerleader for you?

An advocate for you?

My answer to that question is a man named Moody Connor.

Always wondered how he got the name Moody because he was anything but.

He was cheerful, he was joyful, he was encouraging. He was a coach. He was the coach of the

linemen of our high school football team. He was also a teacher at our Sunday school class.

And one Sunday after class, he took me to the side and he said, Max, I think you should go out for the football team. I think you could make it.
