Fire in the bones

His word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot. Jeremiah 20:9

This Sunday our small groups ministry kicks off a new season with a study of the book "OUTFLOW". The theme of the study is for each of us to allow God's love, grace, joy and peace to flow out of our lives and into the lives of others. As of this writing we have 9 small groups going through "OUTFLOW". I honestly believe this may be one of the most challenging studies our small groups have undertaken, but I also believe it can be the most rewarding. I believe if we take the principles found in outflow and apply them to our life we will come to the same conclusion of Jeremiah, God's word cannot be shut up, we simply cannot hold back the love, grace, joy and peace that comes from allowing the transforming power of his word. 

I am looking forward to our new study and I hope many of the PBCC members will "dive into"  small groups this Sunday. I believe there is no greater way to mature spiritually than to be involved in a  small group. For in a small group one finds the 3 "A's" of maturity; acceptance, accountability and affirmation. These three building blocks will help you become more Christ as you live for Him.

If you need more information about a group, would like to host a group or simply want to know more about outflow, be sure to stop by the small group table and check out what is sure to be a great study.
