We live in a culture in which image rules. There is tremendous pressure to always have it all together. This cultural
phenomenon seeps into our churches. The problem is that in our attempt to appear flawless, we must hide both our burdens
and our sins. When we do this, we deprive ourselves of the ability of a Christ-centered community to minister to us. As
individuals, we must allow ourselves to be open to intimacy in community. And as a community, we must be willing to
lovingly address both the needs and the sins of the Christ-followers within our communities. The final lesson of the Chosen
series challenges your students to do just that.
