God's Glory In An Empty Glass
This sermon was preached in Cite Soleil, Haiti. Pastor Leon Dorleans translated. It was my wife's and my first missions trip, and my first experience preaching in another country/through an interpreter. It was a wonderful experience. We can't wait to go back. Our dear Haitian brothers and sisters, we love you all. Bonde beni ou.

Overcoming Shame
The world is a tough place. Tougher than we realize sometimes. One of the things it tends to throw at us is a constant barrage of the question, "are you good enough?" Sometimes the answer is yes, other times no. This can lead to an underlying battle with shame, whether we realize it or not. Jesus knew the shame that the world throws at us. He also shows us how to deal with it so we can live victoriously.

Most of All, Believe THIS!
Of all the things that we should believe about God and God's Word, we must make sure that we believe that God loves us, because God's love is the answer to our fundamental flaw.

2 Timothy 1:12-18 (PM)
Adam preaches 2 Tim. 1:12-18. Paul continues to urge Timothy to share in the suffering of the Gospel without shame, faithfully holding to doctrine and joining the fellowship of other Christians who similarly suffer faithfully for the Gospel.

Finding Freedom
The Colossians were being told how to deal with the demands of deity: be spiritual, do this, don't do that, don't eat this, don't touch that, be this kind of person, follow the rules. One thing religion does is try to offer a way to get free of the things that bring us guilt and shame for the things we did or shouldn't have done or things we didn't do that we should have, or things that were done to us that make us feel fearful and inferior and ashamed. Religion is about rules to follow, or ways to get on God's good side or to feel good about yourself as a person. Some religions tell you that you have nothing really to feel guilty or ashamed of because God is such a nice guy and always just understands that boys will be boys and girls will be girls. Religion almost always involves guilt and shame management. In this message from Colossians 2 we show you that Jesus can free you from guilt and shame from the things in your past.

Mocked and Reviled
Mark recounts Jesus' crucifixion, but his focus is not on the physical brutality (though it was excruciating). Rather, he focuses on the substitution that Jesus makes for us, both in bearing our sin and in removing our shame.
