Digging deeper
It’s easy to get “lost” in our world. Even when surrounded by people, we can lead separate, lonely lives. This isn’t the picture God has in mind for us. The Bible says all followers of Christ form one body (1 Corinthians 12:12-27). We are connected to each other. We need close, supportive friendships with other believers, as well as opportunities to worship God together.
People in both the Old and New Testament got together in small groups. Jesus himself spent a lot of time teaching a group of twelve disciples. In Acts 2:46, we learn that the first Christians ate together in their homes. Many people today are following their example and starting small groups.
You can create a Christ-centered small group. How to Lead a Christ-Centered Small Group describes leadership techniques. However, it goes deeper than that, helping you stay close to God and love everyone in your group. And it helps you encourage group members.
