Its One Thing to Start
Its another thing to continue
Small Groups Are
Living things
how can we
keep them
growing?

We cant!

Jesus also said, This is what the
kingdom of God is like. A man
scatters seed on the ground. Night and
day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the
seed sprouts and grows, though he does
not know how. All by itself the soil
produces grainfirst the stalk, then the
head, then the full kernel in the head.
As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the
sickle to it, because the harvest has
come. (Mark 4:26-29)
1. Understand the All-
By-Itself Principle
The All-By-Itself
Principle
Growth takes place without
apparent cause, it is spontaneous
There is order and process in this growth
All we can do is prepare the way and remove
the obstacles to growth
Human anxiety does not make it happen!
The life is in the seed. We must learn to
release the natural growth potential
This principle applies also to the growth of
the kingdom in our lives and in the church
2. Focus on Health
We are often so
focused on
FRUIT that we
fail to consider
the ROOT that
produces the
SHOOT

But Small Groups Should be More
than Just Alive and Growing
They should
be on fire
how can we
keep them
burning...?
without burning out?
How Can We Keep
the Fire Burning?
We cant! But we
mustnt quench it
either!
Quench not the Spirit.(KJV)
Do not put out the Spirits fire. (NIV)
I Thessalonians 5:19
1. Check the Core Values




Is Jesus at the centre?
Is every member in ministry?
Is every member growing?
Is this a genuinely loving
community? Do actions
support words?
Do we love the lost?
Do we take accountability
seriously?
Small Group
I Give Up!
2. Understand the
Change Process
3. Watch for Signs of Overload




Are relationships at
every level in
harmony with
Ephesians 4:29-32?
Are the people who
cant say no saying
yes too often?
Are leaders
receiving adequate
support?
4. Keep an Eye on the Family
Is family/personal/ social life
neglected?
Are children and elderly included in
the group network?
5. Give Prayer Priority
Alone
Do not be
anxious about
anything, but in
everything, by
prayer and
petition, with
thanksgiving,
present your
requests to God
Philippians 4:6
Together
6. Believe the Promise
When we have
entire, whole-hearted
consecration to the
service of Christ, God
will recognise the
fact by an outpouring
of His Spirit without
measure
(Evangelism. page 699).
