This week at Venture, Pastor Brandon continued our Break Free series with a powerful message on overcoming the stronghold of shame. Shame has a way of paralyzing us—keeping us stuck in regret, guilt, and fear of what others think. But the good news of the gospel is this: in Christ, we are forgiven, washed, sanctified, and justified. Through passages in Isaiah, Joel, John 8, and 1 Corinthians 6, Pastor Brandon showed us how Jesus takes our shame upon Himself, restores what was lost, and declares us innocent before God. The story of the woman caught in adultery reminds us that where the world heaps condemnation, Jesus offers forgiveness and freedom.
