Life Groups in Youth Ministry brought health to the ministry
The more adults investing in a teenager’s life, the more likely that teen is to stay connected to the church
The same holds true for us, the more of our brothers and sisters that invest in our lives, the more likely we are to stay connected to the church

One of the signs of a healthy church is a church where it’s people feel like they belong and are part of a family.

Hebrews 10:19-25

Family - Hebrews 10:19

“Brothers and Sisters”
- Being in the family of God has privileges and responsibilities

Jesus has done the work, now we can draw near to God - Hebews 10:19-23

We have nothing to prove

3 Responsibilities of the Church - Hebrews 10:24-25

Exhortation / Accountability to draw near to God
Titus 2:1-8

Regular Gathering

Encouragement

Hebrews 3:12-14

Take aways:

Are you a part of the family of God? If you aren’t, we would love to welcome you in.

If you are, are you actively exhorting, gathering with and encouraging your brothers and sisters?

Maybe you don’t feel like you belong and are part of the family. We hope that LEFC can be a place where you can belong.

Who can you invite into the family?

Benediction

John 17:20-25
