Transforming Scars into Stories

Story Time: Mighty Shogun story 

Luke 24:37  

John 20:25

Thomas has been through a traumatic experience

Hurt People, Hurt People because everything broken becomes a knife.

We have scars because of 1 of 2 reasons: Something happened to you or someone happen to you.

James 1:8 

God is calling us to be, who we actually are.

God is calling us back to ourselves, back to our God-given identity Back to living from God’s purpose.

Three points to transform the way we see our scars:

Point #1 Because we are forgiven, we can share without shame.

Point #2 Because we are not condemned, we can leave a legacy of freedom.

Point #3 Because of the blood, we can worship victoriously.

Because we are forgiven, we can share without shame.

John 4:7  

• Jesus gives value to broken people in society.

• But Jesus is a potter.

1 John 1:9

Because we are not condemned. We can walk leave a legacy of freedom

Mark 5:5    

• The enemy knows that Jesus has ultimate authority.

There will be people who will not be excited about your freedom because they profited from your prison.

Because of the blood, we can speak victoriously.

John 20:26

Isaiah 53:5 

Your past is not a rap sheet, it’s a resume.

Your past is not holding you back. It’s the runway for where God is trying to take you.

Somebody needs to hear your story.

Don’t allow shame to silence your story walk and

Leave a legacy of freedom and worship victoriously

God can transform your scars in stories.
