Unashamed Session 4



UNASHAMED ONLINE BIBLE STUDY
Session 4
God Never Wastes a Hurt




As unbelievable as it sounds, we are at Session 4 of our Unashamed Bible Study!

Last week was momentous, wasn’t it? Some of us have been wandering out a desert of shame and old hurts for way too long! How’d you do in your private and in your personal study during the week? 

I know that we all would rather be “delivered from” the battles and wounds of this life, but sometimes God calls us to “walk through” instead. This week we’re in session four: “God Never Wastes a Hurt” where we’ll dig into the pain we’ve encountered and study how God brings good out of it!

We made it past the half-way point, let’s commit to finish strong! 


What We’re Reading This Week... “God Never Wastes a Hurt”
·      Answer the discussion questions. Go through the group discussion questions for session four in the Unashamed Study Guide (pages 71-94). These are the same questions we use during our Thursday Live Facebook Party
·      For your personal study this week, answer the questions each day in the Unashamed Study Guide (pages 84-94, the yellow section).

“Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them. — Genesis 50:19-21

Scriptures we will be reading this week
·      Romans 8:28
·      Genesis 50:15-21
·      Ephesians 4:31-32; Colossians 3:12-14; Matthew 6:12, 14-15

Let’s Chat:

Observe — Our theme this week is “Every scar tells a story. You can allow God to use your past to give someone else a future.”

Bible — Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. — Ephesians 4:31-32

Stretch – Let’s not expect life to bring us smooth paths, sunny days, and a painless journey. Let’s commit to find our healing in Jesus. Let’s allow the Savior to restore us. Let’s commit to never hide our scars but let God use past pain to propel us to future glory…for the sake of Jesus.

Our scars can be a sign of victory and not defeat. They can become a source of hope instead of shame.

The enemy sends a spirits of fear to try to deactivate our faith and to try to paralyze and cripple us.

If we want to pick up our freedom, we have to be willing to drop the baggage.

Love & blessings,

May you overflow with joy by the power of the Holy Spirit. - Romans 15:13

Good Friday

  Happy Good Friday   This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified.   I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead.    Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.  ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV   One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions.    Family traditions can be as simple as attending  ️  church and having lunch or brunch together.    Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to teach.  Do you have a favorite Bible Story or family tradition? A G

Why God Wants to Bless You!

  Why God Wants to Bless You!   “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV),   “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”   The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
