Sermon Series Fall 2022“Shame and Grace” | This sermon series is a comparative look at the things that make us feel ashamed or trapped in feelings of guilt, as compared to grace which opens us up to peace, flourishing, healthy self worth, and allows us to acknowledge our own gifts, abilities, and imperfections. The ways we relate to ourselves and others impacts our health and community as the church, and also affects our ability to fully understand and thereby communicate the good news to others. The heartbeat of this sermon series is that we have been created with goodness, beauty, and dignity. God's Word reverberates with the restoration of self worth, our original goodness, and God's desire to call us away from guilt and shame which can keep us feeling stuck, trapped, and unworthy and homeward to God's embrace where we are met with grace and truth. |
