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 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

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!
