Week 2

A big, tough, blue-collar guy opens up with his small group about a family member’s struggles. This family member is heavily involved in drugs. He’s heartbroken by the ugliness of the situation.

He goes on to share that when Jesus finally got ahold of his own life, he, too, felt equally unloveable. Now, as he’s gripped by the transformational work that God’s doing within, he finds himself compelled to reach out to this family member who has brought so much grief into so many lives.

Explaining further evidence of the devastating mess, tears roll down. You see, there’s no quick fix. Instead of shouldering the burden alone, though, it’s shared by others who know that Jesus is the answer and who are willing to come alongside through prayer and encouragement.

As he hangs out with his group he’s able to experience a camaraderie and comfort he could’ve completely missed out on. Storm winds of life are gonna blow. But this is one man who’s committed to becoming spiritually fit in the company of his small group family.
