"Today is the Day!"

UNASHAMED ONLINE BIBLE STUDY
Session 2





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

This is your SUGGESTED guide for the week to help you keep up, I hope you’re digging deep into the daily study! The more you invest in your private time of reading, asking, thinking, and worshiping, the more you’ll get out of it. Keep going for it!


What We’re Reading This Week... “Today is the Day”
o   Study Guide discussion questions – pages 31-42



We can’t change the past, but we can make some decisions today that will change the future.

We must face the darkness and pain of our shame and run toward it. The longer we deny it and run away, the slower the healing will be. It seems radically counterintuitive, but the fastest way to overcome the darkness of shame is to face it and run headlong toward it, with Jesus at our side.

We must all choose to embrace the pain of recovery today. Jesus did what He could on the cross, now we must do what only we can do here on earth.

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
     Exodus 8:1-15
     John 5:1-9
     Isaiah 53:1-7

Let’s Chat:

Observe — Our theme this week is “There is no such thing as a drive-through breakthrough.” — Christine Caine

Bible — This week’s verse is - [Jesus] stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it is written: “The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” — Luke 4:16-19

Stretch – What frogs are you still living with for “one more night”? You don’t have to be imprisoned by shame any longer! Today is the day to be set free!

You will heal as you go. The same Jesus that did it for me, I know, will do it for you! — Christine Caine

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!
