Living Like a Christian When Life is Tough: Feeling Shame

(A Bible study printed in the bulletin each week that builds on the Sunday message)

“When Shame isn’t Shameful”
Biblical Text: Philippians 3:18-21

  1. What does it say (observation):
    • What kind of people are being described here (vs. 18-19)?
    • What are their traits?
    • What is their destination?
    • How does the Christian differ from that person (vs. 20-21)?
    • Where must we focus for God to change us?
  2. What do you think (interpretation):
    • How can you be ruled by your appetite?
    • What does it mean to glory in your shame (think of examples)?
  3. What will you do as a result (application):
    • Are you to comfortable with sin? Is there sin in your life that you are unashamed of?
    • How will you more fully abandon the pursuit of earthly things that bring shame and pursue the things of God?
