The Big Idea:
Sin thrives in the darkness, but confession brings it in the light. Freedom is found in confession. Now you are no longer alone in the struggle. You have a trusted friend and prayer partner who will join you in the struggle and who can hold you accountable.
Main Points:
1. Is there a place for confessing our sins to one another? Is there a biblical call for this type of confession?
2. Find a trusted Christian friend or leader, someone with spiritual maturity, and someone who can keep your confidence. When we confess it can free us from the heavy burdens of unresolved sin and remove hindrances to the work of the Holy Spirit.
3. Confession breaks the power of secret sin. Confession brings us to a place of honesty before God and others. We no longer live a lie, we now are open about our struggle and this brings us to a place of forgiveness and healing.
