Small Groups Thought

"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."
Acts 2.42, 46,47 NIV

Elements of Small Groups:
1. Scripture
2. Speaking into each others lives
3. Eating together
4. Prayer
5. Gratitude
6. Praise & Communion
7. Living our faith out in the real world

Yea, it's a lot, but it's so simple. Why don't we do these things with our family and friends? Why do our church programs make this complicated? Let's start in our families and see where the Holy Spirit takes it from there...
