NOTES

Guilt = I DID bad.

Shame = I AM bad.

He had to go through Samaria on the way. Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar,
near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the
long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime.

John 4:4–6 (NLT)

Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.” He
was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food. The
woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus,
“You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?”

John 4:7–9 (NLT)

Jesus said, “You’re right! You don’t have a husband—for you have had five husbands, and you
aren’t even married to the man you’re living with now. You certainly spoke the truth!”

John 4:17–18 (NLT)

HOW CAN I TELL IF I’M LIVING OUT OF SHAME?

We’re going to watch out for NEGATIVE self-talk.

HOW CAN I MOVE FORWARD FROM SHAME?

SHIFT THE FOCUS FROM WHAT I AM NOT TO WHO CHRIST IS.

I am not (BLANK), because of Jesus, I am (BLANK).

BOTTOM LINE: 
You are not defined by WHAT you’ve DONE, but by WHO Jesus says you ARE.

THE CHALLENGE: 
Encourage others with your STORY.
