In Jesus, we not only find the mold for successful small group leadership but also simple practices that He modeled in His earthly ministry that can still be practiced today. In the person of Jesus and in His habits, we find that the typical expectations of what defines a strong leader are challenged and replaced with a far more accessible and effective model. Success in leading small groups is possible, but to get there, we must ensure that we, the leaders, are following the right guide. |

Overview:
What makes for a great small group and a consistently great meeting experience? Many churches today agree on the importance of small groups, but they disagree on the strategies that should guide those small groups. A quick search on the subject reveals an endless list of 'essentials' that includes everything from the need for a dynamic leader to the need for constantly evolving goals. What if a great small group and a consistently great experience are found not in a newly innovated list but in something revealed long ago?
In Jesus, we not only find the mold for successful small group leadership but also simple practices that He modeled in His earthly ministry that can still be practiced today. In the person of Jesus and in His habits, we find that the typical expectations of what defines a strong leader are challenged and replaced with a far more accessible and effective model. Success in leading small groups is possible, but to get there, we must ensure that we, the leaders, are following the right guide.
