#shame #guilt #edyoung #fellowshipchurch

Are you feeling trapped in a cycle of shame? The enemy wants to keep you captive in guilt and stuck in your shame. But there is hope! Pastor Ed Young explores the story of Moses and how we can find the freedom and peace that Jesus offers us. It’s time to break free from the crippling effects of shame and live out the amazing plans Jesus has for you!

Shame Is The All-Consuming Emotional Condition That We've Let Down Ourselves, Others, And God.

Separates Us from God, Ourselves, and Others

SIN - GUILT - SHAME - REPENTANCE

Exodus 2:11-12
“One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.”

MISTAKE - Fearfully and wonderfully made
UNWORTHY – Worth Christ On A Cross
NOT ENOUGH - More than conquers
UNLOVABLE - Adopted

He stopped running
He drank some water
He enrolled in school - U of D

BURNING BUSH - For What He Thought He Couldn’t Do

Exodus 3:11- Who am I?
Exodus 4:1 - What if they do not believe me or listen to me?
Exodus 4:10 - Slow of speech, slow of tongue
Exodus 4:13 – Please send someone else

Don't Try To Hide Behind Inadequacies

Exodus 20:13 (KJV), “Thou shalt not kill.”

Psalm 103:11-12
“For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”

Does Shame Cause The Destruction Of A Person's Identity?

“He was despised and rejected by men,” - Isaiah 53:3 (ESV)

Does The Shame Silence Us?

“He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, …so He opened not His mouth.” - Isaiah 53:7 (NKJV)

Does Shame Expose Our Shortcomings?

He was divided…
“He saved others; Himself He cannot save.” – Matthew 27:42 (NKJV)

Does Shame Lead To Loneliness?

“My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken Me?” - Matthew 27:46 (KJV)

Does Shame Shame People?

He was crucified naked as the gawkers walked by

We look unto Jesus…
“…who for the joy that was set before Him
endured the cross, despising the shame,”
