Navigating Difficult Emotions: Shame

Navigating Difficult Emotions
Written By NorthRock Church
 

Notes

Pastor G's sermon "Navigating Shame" explores the differences between guilt and shame, their impact on our lives, and strategies for overcoming shame. Through biblical stories and personal insights, he emphasizes the importance of vulnerability, self-compassion, and seeking support to combat shame. Pastor G highlights the redemptive power of God's grace in the face of shame and reassures listeners that shame does not define their identity. The sermon prompts reflection on shame, encourages self-care, and offers guidance on cultivating a healthy self-image rooted in God's love

Points to Consider

  1. How does shame distort our identity and impact our lives?

  2. According to Romans 12:2, how can we transform our thinking and overcome shame?

  3. What lessons can we learn from Saul's transformation in the New Testament?

Prayer Focus

  1. You can reflect on the past week and identify any moments where shame may have influenced your decisions or emotions. 

  2. Think about how you can reframe negative thoughts of shame with the truth of God's word in your daily life. 

  3. Consider how you can express your emotions in a healthy way this week, rather than letting them build up and lead to harmful consequences.
