Metamorphosis
“Shame to Approval”
1 Peter 2

A no is the first step to a yes!

Metamorphosis
A complete change in attitude, character and circumstances because of the Lord

Your future can be greater than your present.

Metamorphosis
	Shame to approval

Shame is a soul-crushing emotion.

We’re tortured by…
	Things we have done
	What someone else has done
	Lies we believe

1 Peter 2

Guilt and shame
	Guilt is what I did or someone did
	Shame is who I am
	
Overcoming shame
	Embrace brokenness (v. 1-3)
	Relinquish control (v. 6)
	Honest evaluation (v. 9)
	Make amends (v. 10)
	Think differently (v. 16)
	Own your story (v. 24-25)

You have to be fed up with shame before you have an appetite for approval - for grace!

Shame
	I’m defective
	Fear of judgment
	I’m unacceptable
	Believes the crowd
	Work harder
	Language of satan
	If…

Grace
	I’m valuable
	Unconditional love
	I’m flawed, yet priceless
	Believes God
	Sets us free
	Language of Jesus
	Now!

A no is the first step to a yes!
