Model for Community of Believers:
“All who believed were together...Attending temple together and breaking bread in their homes.” (Acts 2:44, 46)
The Solution:
“Life change happens best in small groups.”
Change =>growth = good
No growth = stagnation => death
The Problem:
“I don’t need another thing to do in my busy life.”
“Even if I had time, the groups are just too far.”
“Plus I’m not comfortable with other people (introverted).”
Myths:
More time = more belonging
More proximity = more belonging
More personality = more belonging
