Message: Journey Together
· Our triune God is a perfect image of community and we are made in His image.
· Living in community can no longer be optional for us.
· Matt 26:36-46 demonstrates how Jesus needed to be in community with the Father and with the disciples.
· Jesus spent most of His time with His “small group”, not with the masses.
· Act 2 and Romans 12:15 are examples of living in community.
· Goals of WoodsEdge small groups:
o Love Jesus
o Journey Together
o Bring Hope to Our World
o Feel safe, loved, not judged
o Feel like a family
o Help individual relationships with Christ grow
