Small Groups: Give Him Your Time Author: Brad Feb 01

Friends,

I don’t have to tell you that signing up for this short-term investment could change your life.

If you haven’t joined a small group yet then what are you waiting for? We are saving a seat for you. Continue your spiritual growth by signing up for a Spring Small Group. There is still time to sign up! God is truly reaching down and meeting us on this journey called “life.” I have had the pleasure of hearing testimonies about how God is moving through our small groups. Take a moment and read some of the things people are saying about our small groups:

“I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to listen and offer words of wisdom and encouragement. I appreciate the guidance you provided. Thank you for helping me stay centered upon our amazing God! I am so grateful that you invited John and I to join this small group. It has been a blessing to us and has helped us connect with others in the church (isn’t that the great thing about small groups!!).”

“I must say…tonight’s meeting was my first “study” & it wasn’t at all what I expected. It was much better than I anticipated! I look forward to next week’s meeting already. Thank you again for picking me up & giving me a ride. I hope you have a relaxing evening & I look forward to Thursday night’s meeting.”

“Hi! This could not wait until our next small group meeting! We prayed for a lady named Ellen who was given just a few weeks to live because her cancer had returned and it was deemed inoperable…this afternoon, around 4pm, I received a call…there was no evidence of cancer! She knew our group was praying for her last evening and she woke up last night at 1am thinking she was in heaven for the first time for she was not in pain. She has had pancreatitis for some time as well and her pain could not be managed. This morning she remarked that she felt terrific! Thank you all for praying! Wow! Go-God! Makes me want to pray some more!”

As you can see God has moved in and through our small groups. I don’t have to tell you that signing up for this short-term investment could change your life. You will notice that in the spring we have a variety of topics to choose from. You can choose a group based on the location, day, and time that fits your schedule… and learn something new about a topic that interests you.

Being Real In A Plastic World Author: Brad Sep 23

I have been reading a lot of Brennan Manning lately and have been challenged greatly with the humility of Christ and how that relates in my life as his follower. Being a pastor and being challenged to lead people has only made this exert, from his book, become more real with how I should relate to everyone.

“To be alive is to be broken. And to be broken is to stand in need of grace. Honesty keeps us in touch with our neediness and the truth that we are saved sinners. There is a beautiful transparency to honest disciples who never wear a false face and do not pretend to be anything but who they are.
When a man or woman is truly honest (not just working at it) it is virtually impossible to insult them personally. There is nothing there to insult. Those who were truly ready for the kingdom were just such people (The prostitute, the Good Thief, and the Good Samaritan who chose to model Christianity instead of wearing his halo to tight). Their inner poverty of spirit and rigorous honesty had set them free. They were people who had nothing to be proud of.”

Joining a small group provides everyone with the opportunity to experience the love of Jesus. A small group provides a safe, encouraging, and honest environment, in which people can learn and grow in their personal walk with Jesus. Each person who joins a small group is loved and has a group of people who will walk through life with him/her. I hope you will consider being a part of our Small Group Ministry. We look forward to walking through life with you.

Brad
