That looks like a really high wall around the Kingdom of Christ, doesn't it? Actually, it is very easy to get into the Kingdom. All one has to do is walk through the gate but make sure to use the NARROW gate. The broad gate leads to places of destruction. The narrow gate leads to the Kingdom and life. (Matthew 7:13-14) We need to help more people find the narrow gate into the Kingdom of Christ.One of our goals with small groups at the Grace Place is to help people find their way into the Kingdom of Christ. The Kingdom of Christ is about relationships and a small group is a wonderful place to build strong and lasting relationships with God and fellow believers. It is also a place where you can find joy in your personal relationship with Christ. If you are not currently a part of a vital small group, please pray about joining one. New groups will be forming in September.
Over the next few weeks we want to start thinking about how we can add more people to the Kingdom through our small groups ministry. We want to identify people whom God is calling to host or lead a small group. With a congregation our size, we have many people who need to find the narrow gate into the Kingdom or deepen their commitment to the Kingdom. We need more small groups in order to accommodate more people. Please pray about being a small group host or a leader. New host and leader training will be held in August.
