By now your Community Group has met one or two times. Hopefully people are connecting to our PAC church body through this small group experience. There are over 80 groups now meeting covering the same material weekly that you are.
As a reminder, our mission purpose for the six week Community Group campaign is to:
1. Connect many new people to our church body at PAC by joining a small group. (Bring them In)
2. Provide an opportunity for people to grow deeper in Christ while they grow closer to a group of people trying to do the same. (Build them up)
3. Move the church out into the community…hence the name Community Groups. (Send them out)
This coming week our session deals with personal time with God. Lately I have been involved with several challenging human situations which has caused me to remember the following:
“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then the people take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men and women by changing their environment. Christ changes men and women who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human behavior.”
Thinking about this helps me remember who I really am and who God really is. He is adequate for all we need... after all God is sovereign over all. I am more able to not be overwhelmed by life and to be truely thankful that God is adequate for me.
Bottom line...we need personal time with God to get His perspective on our lives. May you make room to schedule personal time with God this week and see the difference that will make!
