Shame

Scripture: Genesis 3:7–13

Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor of Oak Pointe Church

“Don’t confront me with my failures. I had not forgotten them.” At the ripe age of 16, singer/songwriter Jackson Browne penned that lyric. The pang of shame is felt early in life and is foundational to the many dysfunctions of the soul. None of us like to be shown our sin. But fortunately, in the face of our heart of darkness, God makes a way to step into the light. This week we begin a series entitled What Have You Done? Spending a couple of months in the book of Genesis, we’ll explore the human tendency to deflect responsibility, disown sin, and deny wrongdoing. But through it all, we’ll see God’s faithfulness to restore relationships.
