Breaking the Power of Shame Through My Actions
Shame is a harsh slavemaster. Shame wraps itself around our minds and our hearts and convinces us that, not only are we bad people who don't deserve acceptance or who don't measure up, but also that we can't ever be set free from it. We become convinced that this feeling of self-doubt and unworthiness is just going to be part of our lives from now on. But Jesus came to set us free from the lie that says we're not worth it. He came to accept us where we are and make us into what He has in mind for us. So how do I experience that? Is there something I need to do in order to take hold of that freedom?
Scripture References: John 4:6-7, John 4:16-18, John 4:28, James 5:16, Proverbs 28:13, 1 John 3:1
From Series: "Set Free"
Many of us consistently struggle with shame – that feeling of unworthiness or inadequacy because of something we’ve done or because of someone else’s judgment and criticism. Shame can negatively impact our sense of self-worth and can damage our connections with others. But scripture teaches that Jesus came, not just take away our sin, but to take away our shame. So for the next few weeks at Flagstone we’re going to recognize the power shame can have over us, and we’re going to discover how to break free from grip of shame in our lives.

It's My Desire for Control
We all want to have some sense of control over certain events in our lives. We want to feel like we can dictate certain circumstances to our benefit if possible. But what happens when my desire to maintain control ends up infringing on someone else's well-being? I can consciously, or often subconsciously, make a habit of trying to dictate other people's actions and attitudes...and that's a problem. How do I know if I have an unhealthy desire for control? And what can I do to change it?
Scripture References: Genesis 16:5, Judges 16:15, Galatians 5:22-23, Romans 8:26, Hebrews 12:11, Lamentations 3:40, Luke 10:40
From Series: "It's Not You, It's Me"
In any relationship there will inevitably be flaws and shortcomings to endure. Whenever a relationship becomes unhealthy, it is not uncommon to try to point out the other person’s failures or accuse them of being the source of the problem. But what if it’s me? What if there is something that I could improve about myself that would improve this connection? We’re going to spend the next several weeks at Flagstone taking an honest look at ourselves and discovering what we personally can be doing to improve the health of our relationships.
