WHY LIFE GROUPS?



Though each Christian has a personal relationship with God, that relationship is not individual or private. The Christian faith is not intended to be lived in isolation. We were made to live in fellowship with God and with each other. The local church is not merely a place that we attend but a people to whom we belong. The Bible calls us members of the body (1 Corinthians 12:12-31) with the expectation that we contribute to the body for the glory of God and the good of His people. Life groups are an essential part of our church, as they provide a place where deeper fellowship and better support for one another can take place.

      "Do science and Scripture conflict? Are miracles possible? Is Christian experience real? Why does God allow suffering and evil? These are just a few of the twelve most common intellectual challenges to faith that Paul E. Little encountered during his twenty-five years of speaking and teaching in the university.

      Being gospel fluent inevitably shapes how we live, which then affects how we engage with the world around us. The good news is good news again; and where the beautiful reminder of what God did for us in Christ can break through the chaos and usher us into the love of God; where the gospel isn’t an appendix to a sermon but the mountain on which all preaching stands; and where we can recognize that the gospel doesn’t just save us but keeps us.            - JACKIE HILL PERRY
