“FAR MORE... Community in 2017”
Elsinore First Assembly / Pastor Fred Rodriguez
“A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another; as I have loved you. [35] By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35 / NKJ)
Biblical Basis for Small Groups:
"It is not good for man to be alone." (Genesis 2:18 / NKJ)
“Community is deeply grounded in the nature of God. It flows from Who God is. Because He is community, He creates community. It is His gift of Himself to humans. Therefore, the making of community may not be regarded as an optional decision for Christians. It is a compelling and irrevocable necessity, a binding divine mandate for all believers at all times.” (Dr. Bilezikian)
_________________________________ Happens Best in the Context of Community
“As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” (Proverbs 27:17 / NKJ)
"God uses people to form people. That is why what happens between you and another person is never merely human-to-human interaction—the Spirit longs to be powerfully at work in every encounter." John Ortberg, Jr.
“Connect Groups” can be a safe place where __________________ can take place.
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, [20] teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you…” (Matthew 28:19-20 / NKJ)
"Our relationship with each other is the criterion the world uses to judge whether our message is truthful—Christian community is the final apologetic." Francis Schaeffer
Ultimately, small groups are a way of living out our __________________________, both as individuals and as a collective group of believers—to be the church.
“Connect Groups” will also give us wonderful opportunities to _________________ one another.
“See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. [13] But ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER DAILY, as long as it is called ‘Today,’ so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.” (Hebrews 3:12-13 / NKJ)
“Connect Groups” will afford us opportunities to Stimulate one another to ___________________ and ___________________ __________________
“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He Who promised is faithful. [24] And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, [25] not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:23-25 / New International Version)
“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: [2] For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, [3] unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, [4] traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, [5] having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! [6] For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, [7] always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (II Timothy 3:1-7 / NKJ)
The Dynamics of Small Group Ministry, According to Hebrews 13:1-6:
“Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. [2] Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. [3] Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. [4] Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. [5] Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” [6] So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” (Hebrews 13:1-6 / NIV)
