Ice Breaker: In what ways do you think that we project ourselves (our own ideas and ways) onto God, instead of allowing Him to project onto us?

Read Isaiah 55:6-9. How is this passage good news for sinners (all of us)?

We compare sin and often think to ourselves, "our sin is not as big as their sin". Why do you think we compare sin? And why is this pattern of sin comparison pointless?

Let's talk about confession. Pastor Jonathan gave us 3 tools that can be helpful when trying to "confess the mess". He called them the 3A's. Is there one in particular that is more difficult for you?

◦ Admit- acknowledge and be aware

◦ Agree- with God's best

◦ Align- change and adjust to realign with the way of Jesus

God is willing to participate in the process and help us heal. Read 1 John 1:9. Why is it so difficult to confess our sins to God? How does this passage show God as a Loving Father?

Read David's prayer in Psalm 139:23-24 (NIV). How can we use this prayer to help us get into a habit or rhythm of confession?

Take some time to pray to our Heavenly Father. Ask Him to reveal areas where you need His forgiveness and help in choosing a different path.
