Lent (Week 1) | Shame
Shared on: Mar 4, 2019
Lent is a forty day journey from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday. It is a time of preparation, repentance, and surrender to God. Yet, sometimes in this process of self-reflection and increased awareness of sin, we can fall into the trap of shame and self-loathing. We can believe the lie that our sin is so bad that it separates us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Help your congregation avoid the shame-trap and to instead firmly stand upon the powerful truth of Christ's grace and forgiveness.
