One Another - Week 3: Confession and Prayer

In the third message of our series called One Another, Pastor Mel explains what it means to confess your sins to one another and to pray for one another. Confessing sin is difficult because it requires us to be vulnerable and we're afraid of the shame associated with being rejected. The pathway to authentic, loving relationships runs through vulnerability and confession. So often the key to relational healing is simply to say you're sorry. Scripture also instructs us to pray for one another. We should pray for each other in the midst of suffering. We should also pray for each other when we're struggling with sickness. The Bible says, "Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
