Life Group Kick-Off is this Sunday!
This Sunday, September 8, is the kick-off for our 2024-2025 Life Group Ministry! We will have a potluck meal following AM worship for those who are in our Life Groups or who want to know more about Life Groups. You will have opportunity to sign up for a Life Group or start your own! Please plan on coming and participating in our Life Groups this year.
This is Life Group Potluck, but is not restricted to new groups or group members. It is for our current life groups and those who are thinking about joining a group. Please bring a full meal to share with others.
Life Groups are a vital part of our discipleship strategy at the Boise Church! We believe in the “three-legged stool” approach to discipleship :
1) large groups (worship assemblies);
2) medium size groups (Bible classes and fellowships); and
3) small groups (1:1 mentoring, Evangelistic Bible studies, and Life Groups). All three are vital because of their goals, function, and group dynamics.
Life Groups are a powerful way to grow! The assemblies of the early church (Acts 2:42-47), public and private, produced three kinds of growth:
1) Spiritual – “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship,”
2) Relational – “All the believers were together and had everything in common,” and
3) Numerical – “And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
Life Groups are a way we can S.H.A.R.E. our Christian walk together. Life groups allow us to:
S – Serve One Another (Galatians 5:13 Serve one another in love);
H – Heal Life’s Hurts (2 Corinthians 1:7 Because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort);
A – Apply God’s Word (Luke 11:28 Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it);
R – Relate to Others (Acts 2:44 All the believers were together and had everything in common); and
E– Evangelize (Matthew 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you).
I’ll say more in my lesson Sunday.
We are always on the lookout for Life Group leaders and hosts to open their homes to a group. The latter requires no training at all – only a willingness to fellowship with other Christians. Life group leader training is available. I can arrange this with you and schedule a time for you to participate in a small group Bible study where you can see firsthand the Serendipity method of group dynamics.
Please plan on staying for our fellowship Sunday and learning more about our Life Group program.
God Bless! Joey
