In this sermon, we see that unconfessed or even unrecognized sin (blind spots) robs us of joy. We walk around life like there is a heavy weight upon us, a weight of guilt, shame, or feeling like a hypocrite. Confession brings a joyful freedom, and also paves the way for more joy from other conduits and avenues in life (for example, it's hard to enjoy the blessing of deep friendship if you know you are not being honest).

God’s people ignored His ways, and their “smaller sins” grew into “bigger sins.” We must remember that our sin, as well, has no desire to stay “small,” but rather is always looking for ways to grow and take command. It wants to thrive and be in control. So what is our response? First, we must admit our sin...to God and those trusted "iron sharpening iron" brothers and sisters God has placed in our lives. And next we repent, by turning away from sin and drawing near to our Father, in Christ.
