Our Faith family must pursue honesty before God and one another to live out all that God has intended. A redemptive community must recognize their desperate need for God, and has a deep level of honesty & vulnerability. We will find power, comfort, and grace in honesty before God and one another.


Our Redemptive Family (3)

Honesty and Transparency

James 5:13-16

1. Take a look at the research from BARNA https://www.barna.com/.../relationships-build-resilient.../ What surprises you? What challenges you? 

2. Why is it hard to be vulnerable/transparent with others? What is stopping you? What do you think you would benefit by having a couple close relationships where you could be fully transparent? 

3. What stops us from living out James 5:13-16? 

4. What do you think outsiders would think if they walked into our small groups or worship gathering and saw the honesty and vulnerability from James 5:13-16? How would that help the gospel flourishing? 

5. Transparency before others starts with being transparent before God. Is there something your need to lay at God’s feet? Is there a sin to confess, a burden you are holding on to, or brokenness you are experiencing? 

6. What is one thing you are going to apply to your life from today’s scripture and message?
