I’m Not OK
“Crushing Shame”

Biblical portraits of shame … 
	Woman at the well (John 4)
	King David (2 Samuel 11) 
	Bleeding woman (Luke 8:43-48)
	A murderer, Moses (Exodus 2)

On the outside, you are crushing it; but on the inside, you are collapsing!  

We feel shame because of…
	Things we have done 
	Things we haven’t done
	Things done to us

Jesus has devised a path out of our shame!

Genesis 3

Progression of shame
	Hiding
	Isolation 
	Insecurity 

Path out of shame
	Hiding in Jesus (James 5:16, Psalm 32)
	Discover the infinite power of light
	(Romans 8:1-4, 1 Peter 2:9, Ephesians 5:8, Mark 4:22)	
	Remember that God is still making something out of nothing
	(2 Corinthians 5:17, John 15:5, Hebrews 12:2)

Jesus is the path out of shame.
