“God’s Relational Ecosystem”

Introduction:

Radical thought for the day: what if the way to a better me was through we?

  1. God has hard wired us to live in community.
  1. Let’s call it God’s relational ecosystem.
  2. The early church knew we were better together.

Acts 2:42-47 NIV

1 Cor. 12:12-13 Living Bible

  1. Community is Gods relational ecosystem to help us fully follow Jesus!
  1. Our greatest growth happens there.

Prov. 27:17

  1. Community happens in circles not rows.

 

  1. Community here is found in small groups.

Small groups are a place for regular imperfect people who just want to take a step closer to follow Jesus more fully. 

 

“If you had crisis happen at 2:00 in the morning and you don’t know who to call, you need a life group.“

 

  1. It is all about the math.
  1. We all have 168 hours in a week.
  2. You spend about 1 hour a week at worship.
  3. The average church member attends 1 time a month.

“If you want to soar in 24 do you think 1 hour once a month will propel you to growth?”

 

Conclusion: If you want to go far with your life, we need God’s Relational ecosystem to go together.
