SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS PAST - 2)

main image

For many of us… the Most Wonderful Time of the YearISN’T SO WONDERFUL! A Painful Past or Our Own Insecurities can often Overshadow the Joy we’re supposed to be feeling during Christmas! (But…) What if this year could look different? (Maybe just Maybe…) It’s time to let God finally Heal some of those Ghosts Of Christmas Past!?

 

We started a Brand New Series last week at COC that deals specifically with some of those “GHOSTS” - Painful Issues like OFFENSESSHAME… and LABELS– that we can often live with for a Lifetime!

 

Please Don’t Miss This Second WeekGHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS PAST– I’m already praying that SOMEONE finds the ability to finally LET THOSE “GHOSTS” GO this Christmas Season!

 

 

Sunday Snapshot… (2) OVERCOMING SHAME

 

Isaiah 54:4…"Fear Not! YOU WILL NO LONGER LIVE IN SHAME! Don't Be Afraid! There is no more disgrace for you! You will no longer remember the SHAME of your youth!"

 

How Do I Get Rid Of My SHAME...? (Simple... 1 John 1:9) If We Confess Our Sins- God is Faithful and Just and WILL FORGIVE US OUR SIN… (AND...) PURIFY US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS (What A PROMISE!)

 

If/When You are living with SHAME... You are Still Believing that You Are Something that GOD SAYS YOU ARE NOT!

 

God isn’t looking for a Great Performance from YOU… or even a Great Past from YOUHe’s looking for YOU to EMBRACE YOUR POSITION AS HIS CHILD!

 

The ONLY WAY for You to Truly Heal from SHAME... is to Move The Focus from WHAT YOU ARE NOT to WHO CHRIST IS!

 

 

See You Sunday Celebrators… (9a / 10:45a)

Sunday Snapshot… (1) OVERCOMING OFFENSES

 

Proverbs 19:11… A Person’s Wisdom Yields Patience… it is to One’s Glory to OVER LOOK AN OFFENSE!

 

Rene Descartes…"Whenever anyone has OFFENDED me… I try to RAISE MY SOUL SO HIGH… that the OFFENSE Cannot Reach It!”

 

Ephesians 4:2… Be Completely Humble and Gentle; BE PATIENTBearing With One Another IN Love!

 

When it comes to OFFENSES in Your Life... You can either RE-LIVE IT (Over/Over) or you can RELEASE IT! (Your Choice!)

 

Colossians 3:13Make Allowance for each other’s faults… and Forgive Anyone Who OFFENDS You! Remember… The Lord FORGAVE You - so YOU MUST FORGIVE OTHERS!

 

Always Remember... YOUR Life is Too Short and YOUR Calling is Too Great to LIVE LIFE OFFENDED! (LET IT GO!)

 

 

See You Sunday Celebrators… (9a / 10:45a)
