I’ve heard it said before
that real life only happens in small groups! That’s why at many churches they are
called Life Groups. What is a small group? Jesus tells us in Matthew
18:20, For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” That’s
the nucleus for a small group! Many people think that small groups have to some
elaborate time consuming commitment. It shouldn’t be. In fact the simpler you
keep them the better!
Our memory verse this week in 40 Days in the word is Let
the word of Christ dwell in you richly from Colossians 3:16. To truly allow
God’s Word to dwell in us we must apply to every part of our lives. We were not
created to live in a vacuum. We were created to have fellowship with God and
other believers. We have no problem going to work, school, shopping, concerts,
and ball games with total strangers. Why do we have such an aversion to
spending time with other Christians? We’re going to spend eternity with each
other, so why not get to know each other now?
I encourage you join or create a small group to have
the fellowship, guidance, and learning experience that can change you forever.
Jesus promises us He’ll be there.
Will you?
Be wise today and always – be part of a Life group.
