Restoration: Overcoming Shame

Robyn Elliott   -  

Use these discussion questions with your small group, friends, family, or for individual reflection.

  1. What was YOUR impression of Christianity before you came to know Jesus? What rumblings have you heard from others in your relational world outside of the Church? What is our reputation as Christians and why do people feel like this?
  2. Does your Monday-Saturday way of life represent Jesus well? Where do you have room to bring your Sunday life into the rest of your week and what does that look like?
  3. When in your life have you adopted shame as your identity or where and when have you felt ashamed because of something you’ve done (or not done)? Are you living in that place now? What were/are the ripple effects of that? 
  4. What does it look like for God to pursue you? Who are the people God has put in your life? What might he be saying to you right now?
  5. What is your takeaway from this message?
