"The Prerequisite to Authentic Community"

1 John 1:5-9

Rev. Dr. McKay Caston

Humans were created to experience emotionally deep, relationally rich, authentic community. However, we know how elusive those kinds of relationships are, whether in marriage, with our families, and even in the church. What is it going to take for us to enjoy pretenseless fellowship where we know and are known without the fear of shame or rejection? How can the church be a safe place for sinners to be real? How is it possible to stop wearing fig leaves, to take down the walls of self-protection, and to walk in the light? That's what this message is about.
