Description
When Isaiah stepped into the throne room of God, he was “undone” by his sinfulness in view of God’s holiness. When an angel touched his mouth with a coal and told him his sin was forgiven, Isaiah essentially said, “Here I am. Send me. I don’t care where. I’m yours! I’ll do whatever!” He moved from being undone by shame to a hopeful humility and an eagerness to serve the Lord.
In this 6-session study from Scarlet Hiltibidal, discover the deep, freeing truth that being undone is the right place to start. Move beyond your shame to the joy-inducing, peace-producing thrill that comes from a relationship with Jesus. We were made to live in the light–confessing and repenting and renouncing our shame–because Jesus experienced shame in our place.

Video Sessions:
-Session 1: Introduction (8:21)–In this introductory session, Scarlet introduces the study with a look at Genesis 3 and how shame entered our world. Ever since the garden of Eden, we have striven to put away shame and be worthy on our own. But Scarlet tells us we won’t be worthy without the cross–and there is freedom in that.
-Session 2: Ashamed Isaiah (7:17)–In Session 2, Scarlet looks at Isaiah 6. While Isaiah was overwhelmed at God’s glory and ashamed at his own sinfulness, God provided a beautiful invitation to him to walk in the freedom of forgiveness. God still offers us that same invitation.
-Session 3: Ashamed at the Well (8:40)–The woman at the well faced layers of shame–both internal and external. To this shame-filled woman, the shame-lifting Savior offered abundant life in Him. Scarlet invites us to meet with the Savior who is still lifting shame, and to tell others to do the same. This is good news we can’t keep to ourselves!
-Session 4: Ashamed Peter (5:49)–In Session 4, Scarlet talks about Peter and what an amazing testimony of failure and forgiveness he provides for us in Scripture. We get to look at Peter’s life–both the triumphs and the falls–knowing the end of the story and knowing that Jesus offers us redemption as well.
-Session 5: Ashamed Paul (7:46)–If anyone in Scripture demonstrates the power of the cross for our shame, it’s Paul. The man who murdered Christians had a radical transformation into the man who brought the gospel to the ends of the earth. Scarlet invites us to live as testimonies to God’s radical goodness and set our minds on eternity.
-Session 6: Shame Crucified (6:43)–In this last session, Scarlet unpacks Romans 8 and the incredibly good news that, even though we are unable to follow the law on our own, Jesus has done it for us. And through Him, because of Him, we have the opportunity to live in freedom from shame and abundance of life.
