If Small Groups Were Biblical
There seems to be a lot of talk about “biblical” small groups. No doubt about it, if small groups were biblical the world would be quite different. But if groups were biblical, we’d be asking a whole new set of questions when we got together. Questions like:
- Is there a stand to take? (Acts 4:1 – 20)
- Is there a property to be sold? (Acts 4:32 -36)
- Is there a weird death to be discussed? (Acts 5: 1 – 10)
- Are there healings and demon removals to be celebrated? (Acts 5: 12 – 16)
- Is there another martyr to be grieved? (Acts 8:54 – 59)
- Is there a miraculous escape from prison to be celebrated? (Acts 12:1 – 19)
- Are there miraculous conversions to be rejoice over? (Acts 16:16 – 34)
- Is there a resuscitation to be jazzed about? (Acts 20:7 – 12)
I wonder… If these were the questions we brought to our groups next week, how long would the discussion be?
Is it possible we’re ignoring the most important personality in any group… the Holy Spirit? What do you think?
