Repenting and Confessing Our Sins to Each Other is Critical for Full Healing – Micah Davis
“The sins we struggle with the most are the ones we’re most prone to judge in others,” says Micah E. Davis, the pastor of teaching and vision at The Sanctuary, in Indianapolis, Indiana. It’s easier to refuse to forgive those who have offended us, and it’s also easier to avoid asking for forgiveness when we have offended others! There’s humility and embarrassment in asking for forgiveness, and there is mercy and charity involved in giving it out. Sometimes, we don’t feel like extending that kind of love to those who have hurt us, but we should, because Christ has forgiven us. What we first received from Christ, we can then extend to others, Micah reminds us. Jesus was betrayed by so many of his friends and followers preceding his crucifixion, and yet, He forgave them. We have lost the art of communal confession and Christian accountability, and it’s time the body of Christ returns to it. TAKEAWAYS There is so much beauty and healing in living a communal life with other Christians Confessing our sins and repenting results in receiving God’s forgiveness The Bible tells us to confess our sins to each other for full healing Our job as Christians is to be faithful day by day and leave the outcomes to the Lord 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Echo Technologies: https://echo.ws/ccm Three Strikes, You’re Forgiven book: https://amzn.to/3WDyE5o The Forgiveness Way book: https://amzn.to/3J6cZQm 🔗 CONNECT WITH MICAH DAVIS Website: https://www.micahedavis.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/micahedavis YouTube: https://bit.ly/4nst95i Podcast: https://bit.ly/46wIx9F 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin MasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMom RogersHood (use code TINA for 10% off): https://www.rogershood.com/?coupon=tina Rapid Radios (get 10% off with code TINA): https://rapidradios.com/discount/TINA 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2024 Recap & 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/ #counterculturemom #tinagriffin #micahdavis #forgiveness #love #faith #peace #god #healing #jesus #hope #grace #life #believe #spirituality #pray #wisdom #trust #selflove #happiness #meditation #compassion #prayer #forgive #gratitude #bible #truth #spiritual #mercy #motivation #jesuschrist #christian #mentalhealth #religion #thankful #selfcare #calm #inspiration #christ #faithful #kindness #church #family #christianity #strength #gospel #freedom #repent #repentance
