For Good | Healthy Church. You. Us. World.
Healthy US.
The first Christians had small groups! They knew, because Jesus modelled it, that we’re much better in groups than we are as individuals. The group that gathered in Antioch was diverse, zoned in on Jesus and figuring out how to be outward-facing. Your own group will want all that and more!

Questions:
Acts 13:1-5
- What was the best team/group you’ve been part of? What made it so good?
- How diverse is your small group (age, income, ethnic heritage, etc)? Is it time to pray that our Lord helps you become more diverse?
- How is your group more about Jesus than about the comfort of its members? How do you stretch/challenge and encourage each other into deeper obedience?
- How is your small group becoming ‘outward facing’? What will that mean for your group this year?
- Last year, we introduced the BLESS model of evangelism (Begin with prayer, Listen, Eat, Serve, Share). How are you doing one of those things right now with a person who does not yet follow Jesus?
