“The Most Excellent Way” Fellowship/Support Meetings are a model of the basis for Christian small groups:
"Let Us Draw Near"
Let us DRAW NEAR:
We draw near to God to be in His presence.
- The Holy Spirit teaches and strengthens us in our resolve to provide sound Biblical HOPE and ENCOURAGEMENT to those seeking freedom from addictions and other life-controlling sins.
- We are in this continuing process of sanctification together — as sons and daughters of God — by our common faith in Christ.
Let us HOLD UNSWERVINGLY:
We hold fast to the profession of our hope: Jesus!
- We are encouraged to hold onto what we first believed unswervingly (without wavering). We have good reason for staying on course ― the Word of God that builds up our faith.
- Our God is faithful to keep His promises — our spiritual growthand eternal security are linked to the promises of God.

Fellowship/Support Meetings
1 Corinthians 12:31 NIV
“Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty
conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess,
for He who promised is faithful.
And let us consider how we may spur one
another on toward love and good deeds.
Let us not give up meeting together,
as some are in the habit of doing,
but let us encourage one another —
and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
Hebrews 10:22-25 NIV
How do we hold unswervingly ― staying faithful to Jesus?
- We are honest with God, ourselves and each other.
- When we’re happy, we express it.
- When we’re struggling, we say so.
- We use every opportunity to explore the faithfulness of God that sustains our hope — we search His Word.
