Why D-Groups?
The primary reason for D-Groups is growing in personal holiness through application of God’s word.
"Knowledge without application is lifeless. In order to be transformed, we must apply and practice the truth of God's Word in daily life. The church is God's intended context for change. God never intended for us to live isolated from or independent of other Christians. Through committed participation in the local church, we find instruction, encouragement, correction, and opportunities to press on toward maturity in Christ." - C.J. Mahaney
We see small groups as a priority for every Christian and every church. Why? Because Scripture constantly underscores the centrality of relationships. J.I. Packer agrees, "We should not think of our fellowship with other Christians as a spiritual luxury, an optional addition to the exercises of private devotions. Fellowship is one of the great words of the New Testament: it denotes something that is vital to a Christian's spiritual health, and central to the Church's true life…The church will flourish and Christians will be strong only when there is fellowship."
At New Beginnings Church, we call our D-Groups "care groups." It's not a unique title, but it expresses a second primary purpose of small groups. Just as the first is to create a context where every member can pursue sanctification, the second is to create a context where every member can give and receive care. This principle comes straight out of Scripture (1 Corinthians 12:24-26).
Christians have always been characterized by their sacrificial love for each other. We are commanded to care for each other unselfishly, without favoritism.
This is why we are committed to small groups. Together we are being changed into the image of Christ through sanctification. Together we are experiencing mutual care, genuine fellowship, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
