What is a LIFE group?
In this life, committing yourself to Jesus as Lord and Teacher give you goals, guidance, and fellowship. But knowing and acknowledging Jesus as Lord also assures you that He is your Savior, assures you of eternal life with Him in heaven. Our LIFE groups, therefore, encourage us to live each day with eternity in view.
In general, LIFE groups meet weekly for about an hour and a half in neighborhood locations. A typical meeting includes a brief time of worship, followed by a discussion of a short Bible passage and how it applies to our lives. There is always praying for each other and for any different needs we may be aware of. There may be planning of a work project or other special event. A bit of a snack (plus some conversation!) either opens or closes the meeting.
The nice thing about little acronyms like LIFE is that there can be several meanings. Here are four possible ways to express our groups' "why" and define our LIFE group goals.
One goal of a LIFE group is to learn mutual acceptance of who each person is. After all, every member of the Lord's family is linked to the others through Him. And meeting in our homes, our own environment, helps us learn to relax and know that we don't have to put on a show for each other
Another goal is to offer each other an ear, a shoulder to cry on, or a helping hand-whatever is needed. In our trouble or difficulty, the others are there to pray for us and offer practical help. Part of the LIFE group "way" is to keep in confidence anything private that is shared, a "no gossip" policy.
Most Christians have at least one acquaintance they'd like to share their faith with, tell them about Jesus Christ and the new kind of life He gives us. A LIFE group is where we pray for such friends and a place where our friends can be introduced to the Christian life.
Maybe this one says it best. In this life, committing yourself to Jesus as Lord and Teacher give you goals, guidance, and fellowship. But knowing and acknowledging Jesus as Lord also assures you that He is your Savior, assures you of eternal life with Him in heaven. Our LIFE groups, therefore, encourage us to live each day with eternity in view.
