SERMON OUTLINE:

1. The appeal of honesty

2. The problem of honesty

3. The power of honesty

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

• When do you find it hardest to be yourself or to be vulnerable? When are you most able to be real?
• In your own words, how is our culture’s obsession with “authenticity” different from biblical “honesty”?
• Are we an honest church? How can we cultivate a deeper culture of this kind of honesty?
