Be Real: Vulnerability
Richard Hopkins // Oct 1, 2023
Matthew 26:36-45


WORSHIP
Jesus Over Everything // The Belonging Co

LAST WEEK
How did your step toward accountability go? Did you follow through? What made it challenging for you?


WORD
Describe a time where you were able to confide and trust in someone who helped you through hard/challenging time.

Would you say you’re afraid to trust others and be vulnerable? Why or why not?

Read Proverbs 9:10 How does your view of God impact your willingness to be vulnerable?

Read 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 How does Paul view his weakness? Is it easier for you to be authentic with God or with people? Why? How does being vulnerable with both God and others help us grow spiritually?

Read James 5:16 Being vulnerable requires us to confess our sins with each other. What benefits result when we make this a regular practice?


PRAY/NEXT STEP
If you already have a close group of people that allow you to be vulnerable, what are some ways you can go deeper? If you don’t have relationships where you can be vulnerable, ask God to provide them. Is there someone God has revealed to you that you can pursue?
