Post #80 Smaller, Deeper, Wider, Bigger...

I have been thinking a lot about ministry lately. Michelle and I left a church a few years ago after some heartbreaking moments and painful truths. I had led a house church for several years and after it dissolved I felt somewhat empty.

When we left the congregation, we looked for a new church home, but had a lot of difficulty finding a place that we connected with. We floundered for several years until we moved into our new house. We started the hunt again about 7 months ago. Since then, we have been attending a local church and feel it is a good fit for us.

One of the things that I have been thinking about lately is small group/house church ministry. I will post a little about each aspect, but for now I will just mention them: smaller, deeper, wider, bigger.

Over the next few posts, I will explain these themes more clearly. Hopefully it will focus me and my thoughts and perhaps motivate others to pursue their passions as well.
