In this sermon, Pastor Mark explores the theme of shame through the story of the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4:4-26. The woman, an outcast shunned by society for her past, encounters Jesus, who offers her living water—symbolizing spiritual renewal and freedom from shame. The sermon contrasts guilt and shame, explaining that while guilt leads to repentance and forgiveness, shame, often used by Satan, keeps people trapped in despair and hopelessness. The preacher emphasizes that Jesus sees our deepest flaws but loves and accepts us, offering freedom from shame. The sermon concludes by encouraging listeners to build their identity not on others’ opinions but on God’s unconditional love, just as the Samaritan woman did when she embraced Jesus and shared the good news with others.
