How do we grow spiritually in group life?
1. Authentic relationships
2. Prayer
3. The word of God
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says…(For) the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it — he will be blessed in what he does. James 1:22 and 25 NIV 84
4. Accountability
5. Service
