Knexions is church! After the Day of Pentecost thousands of people placed their faith in Jesus and a plan unfolded where God’s ideal began to take shape. The new believers gathered in two venues one being the Temple where large crowds could join to celebrate their new found faith and the other was going from house to house to participate in teaching, praying, taking communion, and building relationships with one another. The Temple meetings were for expression of worship and hearing motivating messages that encourage the heart. The house meetings were for fulfilling what Jesus came to accomplish which was to bring people together around faith. Along with the elements mentioned above the house meetings also became a place where faith was shared and expressed by good works. Good works were taking care of the poor, hurting, marginalized, sick, etc.
So this is a small picture of what a biblically functioning and healthy church is. It is one that meets for Celebration and gathers in small groups to grow, build relationships, and share the Good News. Midpark through Knexions Groups (through you!) makes it possible for us to be that biblically functioning and healthy church.
Your place in the big picture God has is vital. That weekly meeting you HOST whether it be an outdoor adventure group, prayer group, Bible study, support group, etc is God’s dream unfolding in you and for those who are part of your group. Midpark serves 65-70 Knexions Groups each semester.
Imagine one day hundreds of such groups with hundreds of HOSTs operating out of Midpark and thousands of people in those groups benefiting from the relationships, Bible teaching, prayer, and genuine community building. Also imagine people who do not know Jesus being befriended by others and coming into Knexions Groups where strong relationships are developed and opportunities to come to Jesus are created. We get to do this!
