KINDNESS

SIX MAJOR THINGS ABOUT KINDNESS

1. Love must be alongside with kindness. 1Cor 13:4
2. Kindness is among the nine fruit of the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit bears this fruit in the believer.
3. God intentionally planted the Spirit and grace of kindness in you for your benefits. Prov 11:17NIV
4. Adopt and adapt kindness as a way of life. It must become a lifestyle. Eph 4:32NLT/NIV
5. Permit your kindness to reach everyone you come across. Don\'t limit it to your family, friends and associates. Extend it to even enemies and people unknown to you like the Good Samaritan.
6. In your relationship with people, follow the golden rule. Matt 7:12. Do to others what you want them to do to you.

True kindness is linked to love, compassion, forgiveness and easy accessibility.

UNDERSTANDING SMALL GROUP (PT1). Acts 2:42

The powers and benefits of small group fellowship can never be underestimated:

(a)    It gives opportunities to the group gathered to interact freely through questions, answers, comments, contributions, etc.

(b)    It easily creates and builds team working relationships. Gifts & Talents are quickly developed and shared.

(c)    It stirs up confidence among themselves and promotes the unity of purpose.

What is a Small Group?

It is the decision of few individuals, within a larger group, to join together interacting under a common purpose, developing and accepting influence from each other or the group; agreeing to accept and share a common purpose. The group may be less or up to 10-15 persons.

One of the peculiarities of the Group is that it must be an intentional gathering.

Secondly, the meeting needs to be as regular as possible.

Thirdly, there must be a decision to pursue the purpose of growing into maturity; developing fellowship with others and one another, creating friendship even outside fellowship time.

Fourthly, all group members must be clear of the mission-oriented purpose of the gathering, which means the small group fellowship is as an outreach team.

PRINCIPAL ASSIGNMENT OF SMALL GROUP

(a)    All group members must share in thinking, talking with others on issues that matter to them, and doing the corresponding work together. They must freely interact.

(b)    The group must develop and work to promotes very specific and special skills that positively affect interpersonal relationships, such as listening to others, opinion, skillfully communicating with others, problem-solving, and sharing tasks.

(c)     Caring for one another, praying for one another, and keeping company with one another.
