There are many biblical and practical reasons why everyone at Northeast would want to be in a Life Group:

1.    Authentic community is designed by God to be the environment where people grow and make an impact in the world. God desires for us to live in real relationships. One of the first things God says about mankind is, “It is not good for the man to be alone” Genesis 2:18). Through the Scriptures we see God’s desire for us to be in relationship with Him and with one another. The two are inseparable. See John 17:20-23 and 1 John 1:3 for instance. Jesus ministered in and through a small group of 12. The early church did not have church buildings, but they met in small groups in homes and in the marketplace.

2.    Life is better together. Logs in a fire remain aflame when they are together. Separate them and they extinguish quickly. The same is true for us. Knowing God is better together. Serving others is better together. Recreation is better together. All of life is better together!

3.    Faith grows in the presence of faithful friends. The best way to grow in your faith is to be around others on the same journey who can spur you on and keep you going. It’s good to be with people who can model what the Abundant Life looks like in real life!

4.    A weekend service is not enough! Hearing a good, relevant sermon is beneficial to your faith. But where can you get face-to-face with others and ask questions about what you’ve heard? In a Life Group. Where can you implement what you are learning into your daily life? In a Life Group. Where can you actually put concepts into action in your life? In a Life Group.
