Fellowship

Being able to come together each week with others who have the same interest is a true blessing. Fellowship is so important and is spoken about many times in the Bible.

Relationships give us meaning. In Genesis God said it was  “not good” for us to be alone. Jesus lived a life filled with human relationships. Small Groups are a practical way to withstand the loneliness epidemic present in our world today. God intended us to walk together in this world.

“We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.” 1 John 1:3

Sharing God’s Work

Sharing with one another in your small group the many ways God has been working in your life is one of the many blessings of small group. It is personal and many times you can see the difference or the impact that event has moved or changed another person in your group.

Sharing God’s work is also great because it reinforces your faith, letting everyone know that something didn’t just happen by chance but an act of God made it happen! God wants to help us and by sharing His wonderful blessings and answers to our prayers, it will only make God’s work that more apparent in each other’s lives.

Support

We often reach out to those who are close to us for advice and support. The main question you should be asking yourself is this, is the advice I am seeking coming from a worldly view or a Godly one?

Being together increases spiritual fervency. Christians can be compared to coals. When the coals are together, it keeps the fire burning; it doesn’t run out. When we are with the community of believers, our fire to worship and serve God keeps burning. We inspire one another, pray and encourage each other, and it only proves that we are better together.

” What you are doing is not good. You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone.” Exodus 18:17-18
