Most churches offer small group activities but they are usually short lived for two reasons:
1. Can't just throw a random group together and then it instantly become allies
Closeness takes time - playing, working, helping, living together develops relationships
All the believers were one in heart -
Acts 4:32
- They all love the same thing
- They all wanted the same thing
- They were bound together to find it come hell or high water
2. Small groups are anything but redemptive powerhouses
You can study til you are blue in the face but it will not heal a broken heart
A small fellowship needs to be a redemptive community and one that protects
Idea: In a group - write down 5 words or phrases that captures your life right now
Then find what stories or scenes or characters help you interpret those words
Key Phrase: Closeness takes time
