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

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 Jesus…Romans 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

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...
