In worship, we read the Bible and usually a Pastor shares a message based upon the Bible reading. This practice has been done for thousands of years. But hearing the Bible in worship is only one way to encounter the Bible. In a small group setting, though, we are allowed to go deeper. We hear different perspectives. We tell our stories and find application to life. When this happens in the context of a small group God’s spirit can guide and teach us through the reading and application of the Bible. The study of the Bible in a small group connects us together in a unique way that enlivens our spirits and draws us closer to our creator.
