For those who did the practice plan last week, how did it go? What did you learn about yourself and God?

Start your Circle with prayer, inviting the Holy Spirit in.

Read James 5:16 and 2 Peter 1:3.

Confession is agreement with God. Repentance is acting with God. Instead of discussing confession and repentance, we’ll actually walk it out together by doing the practice plan below.

By grace through faith, confess your sins to someone, then share with them your plan to repent.

As people in your Circle confess their sins and their plans to repent, respond with, “In Jesus’ name, you are fully forgiven and free. May His divine power give you everything you need for life and godliness.” Remember: it’s not our responsibility to coach, correct, or counsel them.

Holy Spirit, thank You for your grace as we live a different way.
