Resources for Life group leaders
God desires to glorify his name in our city, and it’s through the transformed lives of those whom God has placed in our lives that he is doing this. How crucial then are life groups in the glorifying of the name of Jesus in our city?
Being a life group leader is a wonderful privilege. Life group leaders are set on the coalface of the work that God does in calling, transforming and commissioning his people into the purposes that he has for them to fulfil.
We know that at the heart of the gospel Jesus came to serve and not to be served, and as life group leaders it’s this that drives our desire to see the scandalous grace of God made known to those in our spheres.
