Thoughts on Growth Groups
Aug 25, 2015
Not intended to build deep friendships
Want people to care for the body of Christ
Grow in your knowledge through other's experiences
You won't like everyone
You will possibly be annoyed with some people
If you come into this with the mindset of I have to be friends with everyone, you will resent the group if that doesn't happen or you won't want to be there.
If you come into the group with the mindset that people are annoying
If you feel like you need to be perfect
If you are not yourself because you want people to like you
Do you attend a growth group because you feel like its your duty? Good.
Do you resent Growth Group because you treat it as a duty? You have a joy and contentment problem.
If you approach growth groups with the primary purpose of your growth it won't work. If you approach growth groups with the primary purpose of helping others grow, you'll love it.
