Unashamed

This four-week series examines the idea of being unashamed of our faith in Christ. Scripture associates shame with sin; yet God has forgiven our sin in Jesus, and has removed our shame. Paul describes himself as being unashamed of the gospel. But, like Peter, we may sometimes act as if ashamed of Jesus, worried of our standing in the world rather than God’s kingdom. Jesus says that on the final day he will be ashamed of those who rejected him—a frightening thought—but in Peter’s story we see that there is grace in our weakness. Though we may once have failed to stand for Jesus, we can learn to become unashamed of our life in Christ.
