Saying "I'm sorry" is hard to say in general. Now try saying that to God! We sometimes think that if we follow God better then we will need to say "I'm sorry" to Him less. But confessing our sins more to God is actually a mark of a maturing follower of Jesus.

It is so difficult to take responsibility for our choices and bad beliefs. Saying "I'm sorry" is some of the hardest words to say. We are so good at coming up with reasons to back up why we did what we did. Instead of trying to justify ourselves Jesus invites us to trust Him and let him Justify us.

What are the characteristics of the future you? Maybe you’ve just started in your journey of faith following Jesus. Maybe church is a relatively new thing for you. Or, maybe you’ve been at this for a long time. What exactly is God developing in your life? What words would you use to describe the kind of person is He making you to be? 1 Timothy 3 gives us plenty of characteristics to consider.

Know what you believe and actually live your life based on those beliefs. Pray for everyone for God wants everyone to be saved. Men and women both have important unique roles to play to reach people and honor God.

God wants you to grow.. but we often do things that put us in a position where that doesn't happen. Learn more about joining a small group at connectuschurch.org/groups
