Lesson Details
Developing Agendas for Small Group Meetings
Unit: Small Group Leadership
Category: Working with Jesus
Many units in the discipleship curriculum include
materials about why small groups are so important to the Christian life. Humans were created by a God
who uses a plural name, Elohim, but singular verbs;
a God who is One, yet shows the faces of a Parent,
a Son, and an omnipresent, mysterious Spirit; a God
who lives in us, and yet in Whom we live and move
and have our being. We are not truly whole apart
from community. We have always had our families
and neighborhoods, our clans and tribes and nations.
But the “New” Covenant Jesus delivered to us (a very
ancient covenant, renewed in terms of a human face
we can imagine) calls us to commitment to a new kind
of community. We are, as we like to sing, “part of the
family of God.”
