Blind Spots

Message Notes:

A very common universal human problem and struggle is the tendency to ignore, cover up, or to be blind to sin in our lives.

•This could be corporate or national sins.

•This could be personal sins (inside of us).

Bob Pierce example.

Blind Spots — Sometimes we cannot see the depth & breadth of the sin that is in us.

Scriptural references relevant to this problem:

•Proverbs 28:13

•1 John 1:9

•James 5:16

Example of pastor and his wife

Example of Abraham Lincoln

Example of “Paul”

The “Tunnel of Chaos” — the place we must sometimes go (in our relationships) that is both uncomfortable but necessary to clear the air and find eventual healing in our relationships.

Discussion Questions:

Have you ever known someone who had a “blind spot” in their lives? 

There was something about them — that everyone else was aware of, but about which they were blinded.

Have you ever had a time in your life when a blind spot in you was (perhaps painfully) exposed? By the Holy Spirit or by someone else?

Would you consider taking a moment to pray and ask God if there is anything in you that needs exposure and healing?
