lifeGroup, part 11: Gift of Praise
There is power in praising God for WHO HE IS. (Psalm 8:2 - it silences our enemy) There is a shifting of perspective when we focus on Praising God. it takes the focus off of ourselves. (Hebrews 12:2 - fixing our eyes on Jesus) God is near us when we Praise Him. (Psalm 22:3 KJV - he inhabits the praise of his people) Gathering together in lifeGroup gives us an intentional time to remind one another of where we have seen God at work. We take time to focus on WHO God is and in turn receive the gift of praise.
From Series: " Engaged: lifeGroup "
The engaged life living life together in community. There are indispensable gifts received when we live life together. lifeGroup is one way to share life with one another while following Jesus and helping others on their journey of following Jesus. We seek life transformation as we help one another in the context of a smaller group of people (outside of corporate worship). We need one another in order to grow in our relationship with God and to actively engage our friends who are far from God. lifeGroup is more than meeting once a week, we share life with one another. lifeGroup is a safe and authentic place where we can care for one another as well as find ways to reach out and bless others in our surrounding communities.
