New Testament Style
Author:
September 30, 2021
The sweetest thing about life is friendships. Whether it be the
friendship between a husband and wife, or the friendship between church
members, family members, neighbors or co-workers, life is so much richer
when we live it with friends.
The Lord designed us to be happiest with other people. And as it
turns out, we also grow the most spiritually with other people as well. A
solo Christian walk only goes so far. We are called to love the Lord
AND love people.
One of the best ways to grow both spiritually and in relationship
with other people is through Small Groups. This is precisely how the New
Testament church began.
We must also consider how to
encourage each other to show love and to do good things. We should not
stop gathering together with other believers. Hebrews 10:24-25
In the month of October, we want to encourage you to join a Small
Group. Each group will include a time of fellowship, prayer and Bible
study/discussion. Each group will also be an ideal place to invite a
friend to experience Jesus! The groups will meet
for approximately six weeks before taking a break for the holidays.
Here’s a list of small groups, with most beginning in October:
