Here are three important questions to answer that will help you evaluate your Small Group:
1. What Is?
This is the current health, status, etc. of your small group? Answer this question.
Don’t be afraid of the possible answer to this question because this question is only a starting point. Good or bad, you don’t have to stay there BUT you do have to start there.
2. What If?
Ask this question without boundaries.
Ask questions like this:
What if my lost neighbors joined my small group?
What if we experienced honesty in our community group?
What if our group doubled in size?
What if my small group divided in two?
What if I could develop others leaders within my group?
To envision these types of questions you have to temporarily suspend asking how. For a few moments don’t worry about how and ask what if. How will never limit people who are committed to what if.
To take your Small Group to a new place:
Start with WHAT IS.
Ask WHAT IF?
Pray WHY NOT?
3. Why Not?
Why couldn’t God use you to impact others?
Is it possible that God could use your group to make a difference?
Consider this verse:
Ephesians 2:10 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
In light of this verse is it possible that God prepared the ideas that you have in advance for you to accomplish?
What if leading this group is a part of your calling?
Why shouldn’t you go for it?
