Planting the “SIMPLE ESSENCE” of the Body of Christ... The Church in every overlooked relationship group

Consider using this slideshow as the basis for a group dialogue among a few Christian friends who want to be part of a grassroots revolution that naturally touches and transforms the unreached lives in their own daily traffic-patterns!

Ask God’s Spirit to guide each dialogue… whether you view it all at once, or break it up into multiple share times. As you talk together consider questions such as:

1.Are there groups of friends or daily relationships that come to mind as I ponder these ideas? 2.Has God’s Spirit made me hungry to be a part of something like this? 3.How would I reshape one of these ideas for the group God has put on my heart? 4.What’s holding me back from taking the first step? 5.Who might partner with me in praying about this for the next 30 days?

An “Elemental” & Biblical view of church… church boiled down to its very essence

Defining Church :: a group of Christ-followers who fully function, believe, and understand themselves to be the Body-of-Christ in their sphere of influence.

Five “Basics” of Church life (recurring patterns, or defining traits) :: worship. evangelism. discipleship. ministry. community.

…some add missions, church planting, etc… you read Scripture and trust His Spirit to guide you in defining the essence of “church.”

When your group begins living true to those Bible basics then call it the Body-of-Christ, The Church!

The five basics restated as: “rhythms” of the Body-of-Christ:

Blessing Others with sacrificial help, encouragement, or prayer

Openly Sharing about Christ’s influence in our life and journey today

Worshiping, listening to, talking with… being personal with God

Learning & Living by Christ’s truth… following Him as Lord of our actions and attitudes

Seeking to “Be There” for each other in the ups & downs of life… often over a meal

1.Are there groups of friends or daily relationships that come to mind as I ponder these ideas? 2.Has God’s Spirit made me hungry to be a part of something like this? 3.How would I reshape one of these ideas for the group God has put on my heart? 4.What’s holding me back from taking the first step? 5.Who might partner with me in praying about this for the next 30 days?
