What is the first thing that comes to mind regarding heart preparation as a small group leader? What is the first thing that comes to mind regarding practical issues of small group leading?My answer:
May I continue to grow in love for God and those kids.37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
How often I forget... God first, people second. Love above all else. It's all too easy to get distracted by other things, even very, very good things - working hard, having perfect theology, sticking to a budget, etc. They can (and often do) get in the way of what's most important.
