Surely He Didn’t Mean That

Blogs, Trey Turner August 6th, 2007

Just over a week ago Josh Hunt said, that if a group is not working to start new groups it is caught up in its own self-centeredness. His exact words (as fast as I could write) were, “get out of the self-centered model to the doubling model… which is a service model.” Could one of our groups really be identified as ’self-centered’? But, we do love Jesus, we do love each other… and if people come we will welcome them.

Friendly and open may be different from building into your group’s DNA the expectation that we will have a goal of starting a new group and then having this many people again by August next year.

There are probably a people new to your group this year. You have come to really like them and cannot imagine your group without them. Imagine this, there is another couple, or another person who is just like that. You haven’t met them yet, and they need your group.

Can you see to it that your makes doubling a part of its DNA.

Look at the article http://www.joshhunt.com/friday.html and talk about it with a friend at church.
