Growing Christians In Small Groups

Description

Anyone with a basic knowledge of church history is aware of the significant role played by small groups across the centuries in the growth and renewal of the Christian church. Every time we read from the New Testament we need to remind ourselves that we are being exposed to a small group movement which multiplied at an astounding pace through out the Roman world. For the first two hundred years of its existence, the church had no large public buildings available in which to meet. During that time small groups were not an extension of the church-they were the church. When Paul wrote his letter to the church in Corinth, Ephesus or Rome, he was writing to a federation of small groups meeting in scattered locations in those cities. ISBN:9780858924079
