Let's Talk About Small Groupናሙና

Do you ever just feel pressured to take a side? Maybe it’s an argument of whether or not a concert was good or if a certain food should belong on pizza. Sometimes it feels like a lot of pressure to take a side and disagree strongly with the other side. It might even feel like the thing we’re disagreeing about gets in the way of our relationships with others.

While it’s okay to disagree with each other, God calls us to work together with each other, whether we agree or disagree! Especially when it comes to furthering God’s Kingdom. But that can be difficult, especially when that disagreement causes division. We see this all the time, especially on social media!

So instead of focusing on what divides us, today I challenge you to look at what is unifying us. Find a group of people you wouldn’t normally talk to and find something you all have in common. Create a community. You could start a Bible study at your school or choose to get to know your small group better. Today, pick one thing and then do it!
