This week at Highland Hills Church, we are beginning the spring semester of our C3HD Life Groups. Catchy name, huh? Rolls right off the tongue, I would say. But, why not call them "good old-fashioned bible study groups", or even "small groups"? Is it because Life Groups just sounds trendier?
The answer is simple: we know that these groups produce life. When our people commit to these groups, they connect, they heal, and they develop. It is a model based off of the Acts 2 church in which we meet in each other's homes, break bread together (the food is just stupid good), pray for each other, and study God's word. We build deeper relationships; we experience deeper discipleship; we learn what it means to carry each other's burdens; we celebrate what God is doing in our lives and our church; we laugh together, we cry together, and we become stronger together in Christ.
See, the Holy Spirit just has this incredible way of bringing us together in a living room when we dive into the word of God. The application of His word brings fruit...next thing you know, we learn how to forgive the unforgiveable, love the unloveable, and live a life the world says is unliveable. Do you have any idea how freeing that is? Jesus tells us"...I came so that they (us) may have life and have it to the FULL." (John 10:10b)
That's why we call 'em Life Groups. Because its about LIFE!
Tell it!
