Make Some Friends

Sunday I began the “Kickin’ It Up a Notch” series with a BAM! & an Emeril quote “Make Some Friends” or…the Power of Life Groups. Life Groups are BPC’s small groups launching this week. 2 families groups, a ladies exercise group, a single women’s group & as usual…the Men’s Challenge Friday night group for guys. Email gregk@bridgepointchurch.cc for more info on LG’s.
The most famous small group in the NT…Jesus & His 12 disciples. A not so famous small groups in the NT…the 10 lepers. Both shared life together in a group & both experienced Power in Partnership (the “Big Idea” & application from the message).

The Power of a Life Group…
Believers have always met in groups Acts 2:46-47, the greatest gift you can give someone is your time. Investing your time in a LG will be well worth it.
We’re created for relationship Gen 2:8, relationships take Honesty, Humility, Courtesy & Frequency. That’s what you’ll find in an LG.
Jesus is present when 2 or 3 are gathered in His name Matt. 18: 20, His presence is stronger when we come together In His name. Think pixel-when together the image is clearer.
It’s FUN hanging out & being together Acts 2:42, hanging out & having fun together is part of God’s plan for discipleship. Think Super bowl Sunday/Holiday dinner with the fam FUN.
And…we need each other because life here on planet earth is tough Eccles. 4:9-12, we need a go to person when times get tough and we can be the go to person as well.

Keep BPC in your prayers this week as we take the next step in the life of our church & remember…get in on a LG, you won’t regret it!
