I am very fortunate to be a part of a small group of believers. We meet every Sunday morning in a local hotel for a time of Bible Study and great discussion
We started out about 2 yrs ago now, with about 4 to 6 people. Over time the group has grown and evolved into a group of about 10 to 12 who are loving studying Gods word and striving to apply His truths to our lives..
Our group as a whole is not a part of any one local Church. We are all from different denominations and walks of life.
We start at about 9am and sometimes don't end until noon. We stay as long as it takes to read, and discuss the scripture for that day (we are currently going through the book of Acts) and then we share our lives with each other and pray for needs.
We are involved in each others lives.
We don't go out to eat with each other all the time or call each other every day, but we know whats going on in each others lives, and we care.
Tonight is a special night. One of our own is being honored at a special dinner and we are all going to stand with him and confirm him! Today marks his 1 year anniversary of being sober.
He has struggled with alcoholism for many many years. But as he has given his life to Christ, and with the help and support of friends, family and AA, he is a new creation.
Ken, we are so proud of you, and we, along with you, give God all the glory!
Philippians 2:1-2
If there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.
