Devotion:
Read Luke 6:12-16.
Jesus Christ is no doubt the greatest small group leader in history. He began his earthly ministry by establishing his “small group,” the disciples. In our passage today we read the names of the group members. Jesus was active in his small group ministry and modeled for them how to minister to others and how to grow in their relationship with him and others. His goal was to equip this small group of disciples to carry on the work of the gospel after he returned to the Father. The growth of the Early Church came through both large group worship time and through weekly small group gatherings in homes. This model still works today. At Christ Church we believe in order to grow spiritually, you must be connected relationally. The best way to get connected is through a small group where members gather each week in a home, workplace, or at church to learn about God, care for each other, fellowship, and serve together. If you’re looking for an opportunity for study, care, community and service or want to lead a small group, contact our Director of Education, Cathy Baker, at 423-892-9363 or education@christchurchchatt.org.
