Small group experiences

It was great time at our small group last night. This time, it's not the study or singing or good food that took centre stage. It was God's work and His power that thrilled us. Half of the group was sharing how God has answered their prayers in the last week. And we aren't talking about trivial things, but life changing events that the group has been praying for some time.

I've seen God answering prayers, but not so many and so big all at once. It almost blew me off balance. And we just couldn't help but praise God, for His goodness and faithfulness. Truly, what a great God we serve!

And what a privilege to be involved in a small group. It's an oasis in our busy lives. A place where we can unwind in God's presence, share one another's ups and downs, grow together and learn together.

I remember how much I look forward to my small group each week when I was in Tokyo. I would go to work early so that I can leave early to go. One day, my coworker asked me what have I got on that evening and I was able to tell him what bible study is. So faithfully going to a small group can also be a great witness.

My experience has made me think that everyone should be in a small group. So if you're a young adult and not in one, you may want to check out the many groups on offer during the week.
