One Another
A Different Kind of Community
Stop Hiding. Confess to one another
July 11, 2021 • Brian Watts
All of us hide. We try to conceal things about ourselves from others. We don’t want people to see the real us because its embarrassing or people might think differently or people might not love us as much. So we hide. And this can be especially true in the church. It’s a rather amazing phenomenon but the church can often be the place where we are most afraid for people to see certain things about us. Yet God intended for the church to be the place where you can stop hiding, a place where you can come clean and find healing. James 5 opens our eyes to something remarkable: a community where no one needs to hide anymore. James calls us to stop hiding and to confess to one another.
Stir Up One Another

Have you ever experienced a time when someone motivated you or pushed you to do something that you might not have done or been able to do on your own? Hebrews 10 challenges us to be the kind of community that pushes, stimulates and motivates one another to follow Jesus.
Bear One Another's Burdens

Many burdens threaten our joy and the joy of others; therefore, we are called to bear one another's burdens. That's what Paul challenges us to do in Galatians 6. But in order for us to bear one another's burdens, we must deal with http://something...our pride.
