Bailey asked me to do a write up about Why LifeGroups for a pamphlet we are making, but I don’t think this will make it. I like it anyways so I figured I’d post it.
If you just look around the world around you it is evident that people have innate desire within themselves for community. There are major cities that have multimillions of people living together hoping for people to accept them for who they are.
Even from the onset of civilization God knew it was not good for man to be alone, so he created another human for community to be realized. But sin has locked the door on our hearts to real authentic community, we hide who we really are and portray an image of who we think people want us to be, so that we can be accepted.
Knowing Christ changes all of this. We accept the fact that we have faults, but put no weight in them at all because Christ has victory. We are free. We can be who we are, we can be real with other people who will love us as we are, and push us to become the people that God desires us to be.
