HOF Small Groups
BE ONE, MAKE ONE, FOR ONE.
Before going to the cross, Jesus prayed for His future church---“My prayer for all of them is that they would be one just as you and I are one, Father” (John 17:21). Jesus’ dying wish was that His followers would be ONE. Just as the members of the Trinity exhibit unique attributes of the Godhead yet walk in inseparable unity, so Christ desires His followers to live in community with one another.
Small Groups is part of the church meeting in multiple locations. With one heart and vision,
we seek to expand our influence by meeting in the community throughout the Gonzales
area. Small groups provide the connection point for newcomers.
The Household of Faith Small Group Vision is BE One, Make One, For One.
BE ONE. …. A Disciple.
While walking along the shores of the Sea of Galilee, Jesus called out to Peter and Andrew, “Come, be my disciples, and I will show you how to fish for people” (Matthew 4:19, NLT). They dropped their nets and began to follow Christ. Over the next few years, they walked, talked, laughed, prayed, and ministered alongside Jesus. He taught them how to BE ONE – MAKE ONE. ….. A Disciple. Before Jesus returned to Heaven, He left his followers with a mandate – “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19, NLT). A true disciple is a person who makes other disciples. Like Paul, they say to their sphere of influence, “Imitate me, as I imitate Christ” (1 Corinthians 11:1, NLT). Jesus not only wants us to be disciples, He also wants us to make disciples. We believe that discipleship occurs best within the context of friendship. Jesus’ discipleship strategy focused on 12 men and centered around shared activities and experiences – fishing, parties, ministry together. That’s our discipleship strategy at Household of Faith Church. God created each person uniquely and granted them gifts and passions to be used for His glory. We encourage every HOFer to consider using their interest as a tool for developing discipleship relationships. Whether is a group walking, sewing, cooking studying, or FOR ONE …. Jesus Christ. Matthew 6:33 commands us to “seek first the Kingdom of God.” Ultimately, our primary purpose is to know Christ and make Him known to others. All other priorities and goals in Join us this semester.
