"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

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. All means completely, entirely; for ...

31 Days - Day 21

Today, I'm wondering where the time's going and what will I post?! My brain is on empty. So, what comes to mind at this time is Mandisa's song "Overcomer" which has been playing on the radio a lot lately. Jesus said in John16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Matthew Henry's Commentary on this verse: He comforts them with a promise of peace in him, by virtue of his victory over the world, whatever troubles they might meet with in it ( John 16:33 ): “ These things have I spoken, that in me you might have peace ; and if you have it not in me you will not have it at all, for in the world you shall have tribulation ; you must expect no other, and yet may cheer up yourselves, for I have overcome the world .” Observe: 1. The end Christ aimed at in preaching this farewell sermon to his disciples: That in him they might have peace . He did n...
