The “church” is not a building, a denomination, or a business organization. It’s a family of people who agree about Jesus. At Mosaic, we believe that the family needs to gather together on the weekend in our worship time, but we also believe the family should scatter around the community and meet in small groups during the week. We call these small groups Life Groups.
Why Join a Life Group?
There are plenty of reasons, but here are a few of the most important ones…
1. God created us to “do life” with other people. He never intended for you to have to “go it alone.” People need people, and believers need to lean on other believers.
2. You will understand the Bible better with a group. There needs to be a safe place to ask the tough questions about life, about God, and about the Bible. Since Life Groups are sermon-based, the group meeting becomes an extension of the weekend worship experience.
3. Your prayer life will grow as part of a group. No one is pressured to pray out loud in a group, but as you feel more comfortable with the people in your group, you will learn more about what it means to have a simple conversation with God.
get connected!
4. You will be surrounded by other people with hurts, habits, and hang-ups. Group time isn’t necessarily confession time. There’s no pressure to share details about your life, but as group members get to know each other, you realize that you’re not alone in your struggles and that it’s easier to struggle together than to hurt alone.
5. You will have help with consistently living the life God intended. When we know other people more deeply, it’s harder to slip away without someone noticing and drawing us back in.
6. You will laugh. Group members are encouraged not to take each other too seriously. To laugh together helps us to live together.
7. Life Groups are a great place to bring friends. Sharing your faith in Christ with others is challenging and sometimes a good way to help someone understand your faith is to bring them to your Life Group.
8. You will develop your leadership gifts and abilities. Life Groups are an ideal place to serve others in the way God uniquely shaped you.
9. You will develop close friends. You can’t talk about spiritual things and big life issues without becoming closer with the people in your group. Friendships form in the trenches of Life Group life.
10. You will be a biblical Christian. Consider these verses:
“They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Every day they continued to meet together… they broke bread in their homes and ate together… and the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” Acts 2:42, 44, 46-47
“Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the Good News that Jesus is the Christ.” Acts 5:42
“Greet also the church that meets at their house.” Rom. 16:5
“Aquilla and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord and so does the church that meets at their house.” I Cor. 16: 19
“Give my greetings…to Nympha and the church in her house.” Col. 4: 15
