Famous Last Words

I recently attended a conference about small groups and discipling. I am still in the decompressing mode; praying and sifting through all that I learned in an effort to discern what God is calling me to do and impart in response. Interestingly enough, God had been working on me and challenging me on this subject for more than a year. Even with all the resources and possibilities to consider, one thing remains very simply constant; and that is what Jesus emphasized as His great commission to "therefore go and make disciples of all nations..."Matthew 28:19.

What I do know is that we as Christians all need to be in relationships where we are free to be ourselves and help each other on this journey so we can indeed be and make disciples. It is at the heart of our vision and purpose here at River of Life to be very intentional about this. As we have grown, there are many in our flock who are not connected or known. It is our desire that everyone who calls River of Life their church home will meet with others on a consistent basis. And, this is the same priority for anyone who comes through our doors.

Please join me in PRAYING for our body in this sense, that we will take the Lord's "last words" to heart and respond with love and obedience.

More to come in regard to opportunities for relationships and growth this fall! Stay tuned.
