Good morning.
Reading through the Gospels we see that Jesus, through His actions, put great store on meeting with smaller groups of people.
We read that He often met in people's homes. Think of Him going to the homes of Matthew, Zacchaeus, Mary and Martha amongst others
Luke records that the early followers of Christ met in each other's homes. "All the believers were together and had everything in common. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts " (Acts 2:44, 46) They were there for each other.
We read of Priscilla and Aquila having the church meet in their home. We read of Lydia - "After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house, where they met with the brothers and sisters and encouraged them." (Acts 16:40)
Having recently completed the "Gifted" series in GraceCov many folk re-discovered that the gifts of the Spirit are given for building up others in the Body - this is frequently experienced in a small group setting.
It is important for followers of Christ to enjoy meaningful fellowship with each other, to build meaningful relationships.
If you are not in a small group within your church family, we encourage you to slot into one sooner rather than later.
Have a super day.
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
