"Impact of Groups"

Recap:

  1. How can you be a blessing to Las Vegas by partnering with our church and Casa De Luz?

Main Thought

God wants His people to experience life in groups, and it’s impossible to truly follow Jesus without others. We can make a difference in the lives of other people by being a regular part of Christian community, especially in smaller settings. It doesn’t take an “expert” to encourage someone! We all have different backgrounds and experiences, so we can bring those things to the table to teach each other new things. Sharing with others is another sure-fire way to make an impact. We can share our time, gifts, resources, and even our food! The church as a whole is greatly impacted as people get active in groups. More groups means more chances for church members to get closer to God, and more opportunities for those who don’t attend church yet to get connected.
