Something has been reinforced for me this week that I want to briefly mention here...
After being part of a great group of guys from our Church who meet every week.
After talking with some of our other great Connect Group Leaders.
After visiting with some of our fantastic Connect Groups.
It has been hammered home again in my heart and mind...

Growth happens with great, God focused, intentional, regular 'Connecting' with other believers!
It works people. I see it again and again.
People have grown in their faith.
They have learnt new things.
Some have been stirred to look at what they could do for the Kingdom.
We are seeing meaningful prayer becoming the normal.
And then we are hearing those prayers being answered again and again!
Spiritual Gifts are being discovered and developed.
Some are using their groups to reach others...

What isn't there to there??? Seriously, like what?

...let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:25 NLT

You may have heard people use this scripture to "encourage" people to attend a Sunday service regularly...
I believe that it is something far bigger. The encouragement is to find any excuse to meet together, regularly, on purpose, with a spiritual agenda. Because that is what will make a huge difference for your life and growth.
There are no shortcuts. And if there were, they would not be worth it or even last...

Let's do this together. Let's connect and grow and see our lives and those around us change!

Something to not just think about...
