Confronting and Confessing Sin in rGroup: 

It's not always fun and it is certainly never something that is easy, but it is 100% worth it. How do we confront sin and confess sin in an rGroup setting?

First, let's establish that it is necessary! If you want your group to succeed in growing closing together in community and closer to Christlikeness, then confessing sin together is necessary. That being said, there are some ways we can do it that help us. 

Using the story from this Sunday's sermon in 2 Samuel 12, here is the number 1 thing to do that will help us as group leaders do this: 

• GO FOR IT - don't shy away, be bold in confrontation of sin and confession of sin

Now, here are 3 ways to do it well in an rGroup setting:

1. If you are not an all ladies or men's group, then split up between girls and guys. When discussing sin, smaller is always better. This helps people not feel targeted. 
2. As leaders it is our job to lead. So, lead the way in confessing your own sin and confronting it in others.
3. Rely on God's Word. Read the Bible, pray the Bible, memorize the Bible. In 2 Sam. 12, the prophet Nathan went to David because God had told him. In the same way, we need to be familiar with God's Word so that we can know when He wants us to confess or confront.
