Community-style groupis missing
We have lost community style group
even when our numbers are that size we treat itlike a celebration
Community style group is key for Jesusstrategy
used 12 to develop the 72
Community style group is what the Biblecalls church in the majority of cases 31

Biblical Church
Go to a household oikos Luke 10:5
Oikos = immediate social network
Start and grow church within the oikos
Acts 16:15, Acts 11:11-18, Mark 5:19, Church grew through oikos networks
Romans 16 (at least 5 oikos)
Philippians 4:22
Ephesians 4:25, 1 Corinthians 14:26
32No mention of going to church!

So we need ...
to fill the gap with something that
takes seriously Jesuss model for mission
takes seriously the predominant Biblicalexpression of church
