Small Groups

God’s Kingdom strategy is to reclaim your neighborhood for His purposes.

Contrary to contemporary church practice, the earliest Church did not congregate together in large numbers. No, the common practice of Jesus’ first disciples was to meet in small groups from house to house. Think about your own family and friends. Developing close bonds with others occurs eye-to-eye, talking in a relaxed manner having coffee around a campfire or a meal at a table.

“Day by day continuing with one mind in the Temple, and breaking bread from house to house; they were taking their meals together with gladness of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.” – Acts 2:46-47

The Temple was not the prototype of the local Church. Priests were not preachers, and the people did not sit in pews. God’s purpose for the Temple was that it would be where the Jewish people worship Him and offer His prescribed sacrifices. It was the place where God-fearers from among the Nations could watch and learn what worship was all about. The instruction of the congregation was not a significant part of the Temple program. On Pentecost, the 3,000 Jews who became Jesus followers left the Temple Mount and took up their Master’s assignment of doing the work of His New Kingdom program where they lived and worked.
