What are you seeking?
Do you ever wonder if the spiritual journey could be more clear? Have you ever sat around a dinner table on
Wednesday night or in Sunday School class on Sunday morning and wondered,
"Will I ever hear God's voice louder than this?"
Most people don't have a solid group of spiritual friends,
and that is especially true for men. Intentional relationships with others are an important part
of our spiritual journey. Spiritual
friendships help us to connect with the Holy Spirit's work in our lives. They serve as guides along the path toward
Christ-likeness. Spiritual friends keep
us accountable to ourselves and to our faith.
Everyone needs spiritual friendships.
Spiritual friendships are deeper relationships than those you build on
the sidelines of the soccer field or upstairs with the moms during dance
practice. In some cases, spiritual
friendships become stronger than some familial relationships. They require trust, commitment, and brotherly
love. These kinds of relationships don't
happen overnight or by accident.
Spiritual friendships are intentional and they take time.
Often, churches overlook this important area of ministry or
believe that these kinds of relationships will develop in Sunday School or in a
Wednesday night study. Although this
happens sometimes, it is rare because the purpose of such opportunities is not
covenant relationship; it is
Christian education.
Life Groups' purpose is
spiritual formation through relationship building, prayer, and sharing our
Christian journeys with one another.
Groups are forming now based on common life experiences, age, and
life-stage. If you are interested in
going deeper into you spiritual journey and sharing that experience with others
for the sake of encouragement, prayer, accountability, and transformation -
Life Groups are for you. The Life Group
format makes participating simple and although a commitment is necessary, it is
not a burdensome one. To learn more
