Josh spoke about "Why Life Groups?" today
Read "The Lego Principle" he also did say
To understand life groups, he asked "why people?"
Josh loved God but not all who were under the steeple
He ran away from the church as a result
That is not uncommon for a young adult
But it is not enough to have a relationship with God
We must love others even if they are extremely odd
So then Josh heard "it is now time to serve me"
He realised that words from God those had to be
Then to First John 4, Pastor Josh did refer
Verse 11 says "we should love one another"
With this theme, subsequent verses continue
If we love God, we must love others too
Love is the focus of First Corinthians thirteen
It implies action, not just a feeling unseen
We need people in our lives in order to grow
Other people wrote the Bible, don't you know
Josh then turned to 1 Samuel 23 verse sixteen
Jonathan helped David in this famous scene
We must fix ourselves, Josh did then remind
Instead of fault with others trying to find
Let the Bible correct others, adult or teen
This is the message from 2 Timothy 3:16
And then from Hebrews ten verse twenty five
We must not give up meeting while we are alive
For this is how we can encourage each other
Family and friends, be it a sister or a brother
As good works in His name we are all called to do
Even if a situation is tough, we must push through
This is how we can end up serving nations
Something that can last for generations
Pastor then referred to First Samuel 22 and 23
Distressed people became mighty men we did see
We can invest in others at any time, Josh did say
Even if from His path we may occasionally stray
John thirteen verse thirty five does explicitly show
By loving others, our love for Jesus others will know
And we should love because He loves us first
That is something that will never be reversed
