Friday Fireplace
Our weekly Friday Fireplace session is one of our regular ‘small groups’ based in the Lighthouse Project. The purpose of the group is allow people to participate and to feel comfortable talking about and sharing what they see in the Bible, and to build up confidence to be open and honest with each other.
Each week the group gathers and spends a little time in general conversation and catch-up, which may include some refreshments, and then there is the presentation of a topic or bible teaching for the session. Following this the group then spends some time discussing the topic and exploring any issues that crop up.
As part of the conversation the group thinks and chats about the topic or things learned, and asks a few specific questions such as…
1. What did I discover about God in the teaching?
2. What did I discover about people or how this affects our lives? And then,
3. How they can I apply the teaching in my life to obey it and make positive changes?
4. How can I share what I have learned from the session with others?
There are then also opportunities to pray for one another.
One of the keys to healthy missional community life is having the Bible at the centre. People need to be able to encounter God there – but in ways that empower each individual, wherever they are on their spiritual journey, to see Jesus for themselves and not feel pressured to merely spout out the “right” answer.
