Weekly Practice 9/22/25

Two weeks in, folks. Yesterday was, again, a sweet time with God and each other. (At least for me!) During our breakout for discussion, I was struck by the level of depth everyone brings with them. I was challenged and encouraged, and I’m really excited to get to know everyone more as we pursue Jesus together.

Here’s this week’s practice. Try to do/discuss it with others if at all possible.

Scripture

John 3:19-21 NIV

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

Practice

Yesterday, Jesse shared this with our group. I think it was from God, for all of us:

Confession — This week, when you notice a lie that seems to have a grip on you (repeated negative thoughts, habitual sin, etc.), try to expose it. Confess it to God, yes. But also find someone whom you trust to share it with. Let’s do our best to bring the lies that hold us, or that we hold onto, into the light where God can set us free.

Tidbit

I’m really digging this song. It ties in nicely with yesterday’s talk about lies. Maybe we’ll play it some Sunday.
