Isaiah 12:3, With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.
Many churches have small groups that gather throughout the
week to "do life together." These gatherings have various names such as cell,
life, flock, care or home groups, etc. At Cheyenne Berean we call them "Focus Groups"
because in them we focus on Jesus and on each other.
The Book of Acts gives the record of the birth and
establishment of the church and one of the most basic elements of a local
church…togetherness. Notice that throughout the book of Acts there is this emphasis
on togetherness.

In a Focus Group you can do
together "life" better when we meet regularly and help each other "draw water from the wells of
salvation."
