How to Overcome Shame and Make a Difference

from First Free Church Hosted by First Free Church, Manchester, MO

Pastor Adam Bowers What do you do with shame that feels bigger than you? In this message from 2 Chronicles 29:5 to 11, Pastor Adam walks us through King Hezekiah stepping into a nation marked by spiritual ruin. The temple was closed, worship had stopped, and the people lived under a heavy legacy of failure and disgrace. Hezekiah did not ignore the shame. He confronted it and called the people back to God. This sermon explores the difference between holy shame that leads to repentance and unhealthy shame that destroys identity. We also see a clear path from shame to renewal through six key words: Listen. Purify. Remove. Remember. Commit. Lead. If shame has been stealing your vision or holding you back from bold faith, this message is for you. Your past does not disqualify you from God’s future. Renewal begins when we open the doors again.
