In Luke 8, a woman who has been hemorrhaging blood for 12 years reaches toward Jesus in desperation, and she is healed. While she is healed of her physical condition, more importantly Jesus seeks to heal her of her shame.

The shadow of shame makes us want to retreat to the shadows, hiding all of the things we don't like about ourselves.
1 John 1, however, reminds us to come freely into God's light and bring to God all that we are.

This study will be taught by Jeff Patterson and will focus on The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis. The Silver Chair is a fantasy that children enjoy but that enrich the spiritual lives of Christians. In this chronicle, two children, Polly and Eustace, are sent on a journey to Narnia to rescue their friend, Prince Rilian, who has been captured by the Lady of the Green Kirtle who rules the Underland. Puddleglum, one of Lewis’s most memorable characters, accompany Polly and Eustace on their quest. Throughout the course, we’ll be connecting the thought of Lewis to the Bible.

What we hope in matters

Hope in Jesus crushes despair

The shadows of sin can darken our lives, but take heart: Christians can learn how to fight in the shade.
