Why do you participate in a small group?
By dave.stone | August 20, 2008
Ever wonder why?
How many times have you pondered the “why” behind something? For instance, why do we observe daylight saving time? I’d wager that most people, without the help of Wikipedia, can not explain why we observe daylight saving time.
Can you explain why you participate in a small group? How would you answer that question?
I’m feeling overwhelmed with all the of organizational aspects of small group leading and oversight. And when I get overwhelmed it is easy to lose perspective…to lose sight of why we do small groups…to lose sight of Jesus, the author and perfecter of my faith. As we kick-off a new year of small group ministry, let us not lose sight of why we do GROW groups. The biblical mandate that precedes participation in small groups is to make disciples (or followers) of Jesus.
So, if someone were to ask you why you participate in a small group your answer should be “It’s one way that I help make disciples of Jesus.”
