7 Day Plan for New Believers
Day 5: Why It’s Important to Connect With Other Believers.
When Jesus launched his public ministry, He personally invited 12 men to travel with Him and to learn from Him. We call these men Jesus’ disciples. By recruiting them and then sharing His life with them, Jesus modeled the best way for us to live our lives. We join the example these men set and connect with other Christ followers as we grow in our faith.
We were not made to live life alone. We were made to do life together. This is why you need to connect with other believers. Other people matter. Sure, they might hurt you and you might hurt them; and living with others can get quite messy. But even the messy is part of the ongoing journey of the Christian life.
When you connect with a local church, they will encourage you to join a group.
Through groups you will…
Grow in your understanding of the Bible.
Learn how to pray.
Experience dynamic worship.
Find some new friends.
Be encouraged in your faith.
If you haven’t already found a church and a group, do it now!
Pray. Father, show me who You want me to be friends with. Thank You for the group of people who will become like family to me. Lead me to the people You want me to have in my life. Amen.
