Hard Conversations

Kyle Kauffman // February 9th 2025

Being honest not only means being honest about our own sin, but it also means being honest about the sin of others in the church. The only thing harder than confessing our own sin may be confronting the sin of someone else. This is a hard thing to do, but it’s something we must be willing to do if we truly love each other. The church is meant to be a place that takes sin seriously because we are serious about loving each other and serious about God’s glory. This means we should be prepared to confront the sin of one another when that sin either goes unrecognized or unrepented of. The gospel uniquely prepares us to confront other people with humility, grace, and boldness. And we all need other people who are willing to do that in our lives when it is needed.

Matthew 18:15-20; 1 Corinthians 5:1-12
