Step Into the Greenhouse
green⋅house – n: an intentional environment conducive for cultivating plants in and out of season; a weekend training environment designed to equip followers of Jesus to make more disciples and be a part of the natural growth of God’s kingdom.
The kingdom of God is not often discussed in church and small groups. We get focused on so many things related to our personal lives and goals that we miss the main topic of Jesus’ life and teaching – THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
With all the resources out there for the training of leaders and small groups, very little focuses on the kingdom of God. For me, an understanding of the kingdom of God is vital to the purposes and potential of our small groups.
This fall we are hosting an organic church “Greenhouse.” The focus of the weekend is the kingdom of God, how it grows, and how each disciple can help make more disciples.
The kingdom is organic. It grows through relationships. This is why small groups (of even 2 or 3 people) have a central role in seeing disciples made and the kingdom expanded. Let’s not get so busy with good things that we miss this one main thing that Jesus showed us so much about.
Mark your calendars!
