10 Reasons You Should Join a Small Group

10 Reasons to join a small group

“It is in small groups that people can get close enough to know each other, to care and share, to challenge and support, to confide and confess, to forgive and be forgiven, to laugh and weep together, to be accountable to each other, to watch over each other and to grow together. Personal growth does not happen in isolation. It is the result of interactive relationships. Small groups are God’s gift to foster changes in character and spiritual growth.” Dr. Gilbert Bilezikian

10 Reasons to Join a Small Group

  1. Small groups are the perfect place to pray with and for others.
  2. Small groups are the perfect place to share one another’s burdens. Galatians 6:2
  3. Small groups are the perfect place to study the Bible and grow in faith, knowledge, and service.
  4. Small groups are the perfect place to experience authentic relationships in God’s family of like believers.
  5. Small groups are the perfect place to bring your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers and introduce them to Christ.
  6. Small groups are the perfect place to study His Word and to be in prayer, we do this individually but we are also to do it in community.
  7. Small groups are the perfect place to become better servants of the Lord by developing skills in leadership and ministry.
  8. Small groups are the perfect place to be discipled and make disciples. Matthew 28:18-20
  9. Small groups are the perfect place to learn first-hand how to share Christ with loved ones, co-workers and strangers.
  10. Small groups are the perfect place to put into practice the teaching you are receiving from Eastwood Tulsa.

So, small groups are the perfect place to be with one another! Dr. Gilbert Bilezikian points out:

“Community is deeply grounded in the nature of God. It flows from who God is. Because he is community, he creates community. It is his gift of himself to humans. Therefore, the making of community may not be regarded as an optional decision for Christians. It is a compelling and irrevocable necessity, a binding divine mandate for all believers at all times.”

Saturate Tulsa – Don’t Let Them Suffer in Silence

Saturate Tulsa-2

As Christians, we recognize that our beloved country is in turmoil and needs a spiritual reawakening. The kind that leads to true repentance and genuine revival.  Jesus said very specifically to go and make disciples of all nations but we have to begin first in our Jerusalem.  It’s not that one individual is responsible, it is the church’s responsibility.  The church needs to leave the building to go to the city.  Another way to say it is, it’s harvest time.

Saturate USA

Saturate USA is a God sized vision that seeks to take the love of the gospel to 60 million families and homes by the end of 2020 with the goal to help the church ignite repentance and revival in this country.

This is a vision that’s helping bring the body of Christ together that can only be described as divinely inspired.  Saturate Tulsa and Christ for All Nations helps local churches reach their nearest mission fields with free evangelistic materials including the multi-language Jesus film DVD’s.

Eastwood Tulsa Mission

We are going out into the community and we are putting these door hangers on each and every door.  The church is the place where we get our souls and our heart filled like a car is filled with gas and then we go out into the community and love on them and show them that Jesus is real.  Everyone that receives a packet, we pray that God would touch their hearts through the DVD’s and materials.

A lot of people are suffering in silence.  They don’t know that there is a way out. Through God we can overcome. We can be victorious. He changes lives. He heals lives. This is what we’re bringing to people. The real Jesus.  The one who loves them did not come to condemn them but came that every one of us would be set free.  So, we keep going, we keep sharing and we keep loving.

United in love and with God on our side, one city at a time, we can win our country back to Christ.
