Summary

Jesus' mandate for relationships is 'Love one another as I have loved you.' This six-week guide helps participants do two things: gain a deeper understanding of Jesus' love for them and explore how they can follow his example. The small group is an ideal place to practice giving and receiving Jesus' kind of love.

Connecting in Christ Summary

Connecting in Christ by Karen Lee-Thorp

Fellowship. The word gets used a lot in church. But too often our understanding and practice of fellowship are shallow and stripped of the life-giving, life-transforming power God intended community to have. Jesus lived out and taught a deeper, more radical kind of fellowship-a way of interacting that makes others sit up and take notice. These six sessions will show you Jesus' way of loving others as I have loved you. Experiencing Christ Together helps your group explore the five biblical purposes that make up a high-impact Christian life -fellowship, discipleship, ministry, evangelism, and worship. Jesus perfectly lived out God's purposes for his life, and he taught his followers how to do the same. As you walk in the footsteps of those first disciples listening to and watching Jesus through these studies, you and your group will be transformed. One small group leader put it this way: The Experiencing Christ Together series has motivated me more than any other Bible study that I have ever been to. This Bible study gets to the heart of the matter-my character in Christ-and that has created action on my part.
