Life Together
Part 3
Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you may have an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partners of Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end.
Hebrews 3:12-14 (NRSV)
I need other believers to watch over me in love every day.

Small Group Guidelines:
· Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts and feelings.Focusing on yourself will benefit you. Stick to “I” or “me” statements, not “you” or “we” statements. *Limit your sharing to three to five minutes.
· There is no cross-talk. Cross-talk is when two people engage in conversation excluding all others. Each person is free to express his or her feelings without interruptions.
· We are here to support one another, not “fix” one another. This keeps us focused on our own issues. We are not licensed counselors, psychologists, or therapists, nor are the group members.
· Anonymity and confidentiality are basic requirements. What is shared in the group stays in the group. The only exception is when someone threatens to injure themselves or others.
