Growth opportunities not to be missed!

Filed Under:  Thought for the Week   —   22nd Jan, 2012

The beginning of a year offers many occasions to start new opportunities or start afresh old commitments which will help our growth. Here at HBC there are a few options for you when considering the small group element of church life.

Most agree that when God is working in one’s life by his Spirit, attendance at the large group celebration on Sundays coupled with participating in a LIFE Group will help bring about effective growth as Christians.

In the large body worship celebration experience we can come together as one large group celebrating God’s goodness to the whole church body and worship him as a whole community. This is vital for our growth. These large celebrations are complemented by participation in a LIFE Group. It is here in this more intimate setting of between 6 and 12 people, that we have opportunity to build deeper relationships, serve one another, dig deeper into God’s word, worship Him, and reach out in love to our unchurched friends.

Here are some opportunities for you to grow in your relationship with God and others.

            1.If you’re not in a group, join an existing LIFE Group.

            2.If you’re in a group but want to see your group develop, sign up for the Small Group Development Course.

            3.If you’ve done the course, become an apprentice to a current leader.

            4.If you’re ready to lead others, start a new LIFE Group.

Growth occurs naturally when exposed to the right nutrients and elements. HBC LIFE Groups under the guidance of the Holy Spirit provide just that. If you’re interested in taking any of the opportunities above, contact me on stuart@hbchurch.org.au or through the church office on 5573 3644 or info@hbchurch.org.au.
