Today in church our pastor spoke about relationships and the importance of “doing life together.” I have so many friends, family and acquaintances who go to church because its the right thing to do, because it is the way they were raised, because it is what their parents, spouse, friends want them to do. It isn’t what they desire, and they haven’t truly connected with the body of Christ.
I grew up going to a wonderful church, a church that preached the Word, a church that worshiped God fully, a church that welcomed people in. And I honestly have felt so incredibly blessed to have had that opportunity. And then we left and moved south. I was so worried that we wouldn’t find another church. And I was worried that my kids wouldn’t learn about having a relationship with God the way that I did.
But here at our new church the pastor speaks again and again about the importance of meeting and supporting each other, of praying and encouraging one another. As the churches grow larger in congregation they also have to grow smaller in relationships. I have been thinking so much about that. So our church is doing these small group sessions so that your faith isn’t just a sunday thing, it is an all week thing. As we are getting more involved in our church, God is able to mold us and shape us into what He wants us to be. Are you a part of a bible study group or small group? Are you experiencing the blessing that that is. There are small groups that do just about anything you can think of, and also get together to know God better. I am thankful that we are a part of a church that realizes that Life is meant to be done together in fellowship
Beautifully Blessed
