Even though words may be simple, they aren’t always easy to say. This week, in Simple Words, we explore the word ‘sorry.’ Sorry is one of those words that, while simple, isn’t always easy to use. Sorry requires humility, vulnerability, and surrender, and too often, we find ways to avoid it.

This week we are looking at the story of Ananias and Sapphira to learn not only how sorry is difficult, but what can go wrong when we refuse to say sorry. We will also explore three steps so that, as individuals and as a community, we can be a people marked by the simple word ‘sorry.’

This week we are challenged and changed by the simple word, sorry.

Next Steps

I will do a fearless and searching moral inventory.

I will confess my faults to God, myself, and another person.

I will do whatever I can to make right what I’ve made wrong.
