Unashamed - Run, Don't Hide


UNASHAMED
Session 1

Hey, OBSers! Here’s this week’s happenings for our study.

This is your SUGGESTED guide for the week to help you keep up in the Bible study!




·       What We’re Reading This Week... Run, Don’t Hide
o   Study Guide – pages 11-30


Shame is the intensely painful feeling or experience of that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of acceptance and belonging...Guilt says, You’ve done something bad. Shame says: ‘You are bad.” ~ Brene Brown

Christine summarizes it this way: “Guilt is about my do. Shame is about my who.”

If we’re alive on planet Earth we’re sure to experience shame. Shame from what we’ve done, shame for what was done to us, shame that is a straight-up lie from the pit of Hell.

But, with the eternal Word of God, we will learn that the Jesus who loves us is way bigger than anything in our past and He longs for us to no longer be shackled by shame but instead face a future filled with hope and purpose.

Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame. — Isaiah 50:7

Scriptures we will be reading this week

·       Psalm 139:1–14.
·       Luke 15:11–24

Observe — Our theme this week is “God can and does redeem anything and He is able to turn all things around to work together for good.”

Bible — This week’s verse is - Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ JesusRomans 8:1

Stretch – A lot of times we feel such shame that we never recover from what we did because we cannot separate our “who” from our “do”.

I can’t wait to start getting rid of my junk and finding greater freedom with Jesus! How about you?

Here’s to a great week of #OBS 



Love & blessings,
Cheryl

Travel Adventures 2023

Travel Adventures 2023 – So many places to go!   This year my husband and I traveled to Reno, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park. I took lots of pictures but could only choose a few for this blog. I’ve included a little information about each location we visited, along with a few pictures. Enjoy! Reno is a city in the northwest section of the U.S. state of Nevada, along the Nevada-California border, about 22 miles (35 km) north from Lake Tahoe, known as "The Biggest Little City in the World". Known for its casino and tourism industry. We stayed at the Nugget Casino & Resort...and no, I did not put any money in the slot machines!!! :-) What's a vacation with shopping - the  Outlets at Legends  proved to be more than shopping. Then off to  Virginia City.   Lake Tahoe is located on the border of California and Nevada. About two-thirds of the lake is in California, with about one-third extending into Nevada at the north and south ends of the lake, and the entire

Happy Labor Day!

It is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. The holidays stem from the late 1800s when labor activists wanted a federal holiday to recognize workers' contributions to the country.   The first U.S. Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882 in New York City, planned by the Central Labor Union.  The Labor Day parade of about 10,000 workers took unpaid leave and marched from City Hall past Union Square uptown to 42nd street and ended in Wendel’s Elm Park at 92nd Street and 9th Avenue for a concert, speeches, and a picnic. Oregon was the first to declare Labor Day an official holiday in 1887. Labor Day is considered the 'unofficial NFL season kickoff.' 99.44 percent of the ti
