PARABLE of theTWO Winged Church

"There once was created a church with twowings.

One wing was for large group celebration andthe other wing was for small groupcommunity.

Using both wings the church was able to fly

high and nigh into the presence of God andto soar gracefully all over the earth fulfillingthe purpose of the Creator.

PARABLE of theTWO Winged Church

One day the jealous wicked serpent, who hadno wings, challenged the church to fly withonly its large-group-wing. The serpentapplauded loudly when the church becameairborne (though it was a clumsy effort) andconvinced the church that with practice itcould fly just as well using only that onewing. Deceived from that day, the two-winged-church began to see itself ashaving only one wing.

PARABLE of theTWO Winged Church

(This happened during the earthly reign ofConstantine, which was only three hundredyears after the Creator had used the two-winged-church to thwart the plans of thewicked serpent who had no wings.) Thesmall-group-wing became weaker andweaker from lack of exercise until itatrophied into a lifeless and uselessappendage beside the oversized large-group-wing.

PARABLE of theTWO Winged Church

The two-winged-church that had glided highin the heavens was now one-winged, littlebetter than the wicked serpent who had nowings. The Creator of the church was verysad. He knew that the two-winged designhad allowed the church to soar in theheavens into His presence and do hisbidding on earth.

PARABLE of theTWO Winged Church

With only one wing the church was forced totry even harder to just lift off of theground. Even if it managed to becomeairborne it was prone to fly aimlessly incircles, unable to travel any distance fromits original point of departure. Spendingmore and more time in the safety andcomfort of its bird house, it grew fat, lazyand contented with an earth boundexistence.

PARABLE of theTWO Winged Church

From time to time the church rememberedthat it had once flown with two wings anddreamed that it could do so again. But nowthe strong large-group-wing was sodominate that it would not accept help fromthe weaker side. It was too late.

PARABLE of theTWO Winged Church

The Creator finally created a newtwo-winged-church. Once again theCreator had a church that could fly into Hispresence and soar high over all the earthfulfilling his purposes." Bill Beckham

Why Small Groups?

WHY SHOULD WE HAVE SMALL Groups?

A. Historical Reasons for SMALLGroups1. First 300 Years of the Church

The New Testament Church functioned asthe church in the 1st century within a dualcontext:

8/4/2019 ACM Small Group SEMINAR Mentoring Resource

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/acm-small-group-seminar-mentoring-resource 23/107

Why Small Groups?

The "Gathered Church" ContextMet as the "whole church"Assembled as the congregation

went "to the temple"

The "Scattered Church" ContextMet as "home churches"Joined together as a cell

Went "house to house”

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/acm-small-group-seminar-mentoring-resource 24/107

Why Small Groups?

2. Last 1700 YearsIn 312 A.D. Constantine, the first"Christian" emperor, imposed aninstitutional CATHEDRAL form upon the

church. Since that time theology haschanged from church to church, the

type of worship has been different,approaches to leadership may havevaried, but a constant in church historyover the past seventeen centuries has

been the cathedral structure.

Why Small Groups?

3. Characteristics of Cathedral Style Church"People go to a building (cathedral)

on a special day of the week(Sunday)

and someone (a priest orminister)

does something to them(absolution or healing)

or for them (a ritual or

entertainment) "

8/4/2019 ACM Small Group SEMINAR Mentoring Resource

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/acm-small-group-seminar-mentoring-resource 26/107

Why Small Groups?

This cathedral way of being the church hasdominated Christianity for the past

1700 years.

Why Small Groups?

Jesus' system (The Twelve) was designed toturn out producers and not consumers.

8/4/2019 ACM Small Group SEMINAR Mentoring Resource

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/acm-small-group-seminar-mentoring-resource 33/107

Why Small Groups?

In the New Testament small group, they metin homes. Contribution and productivity ishigh.

8/4/2019 ACM Small Group SEMINAR Mentoring Resource

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/acm-small-group-seminar-mentoring-resource 34/107

Why Small Groups?

We cannot produce New Testament fruitunless we have a New Testamentstructure. The large group structure byitself produces consumers. That is why inmost churches 80% of the people areconsumers, while the other 20% are theproducers.

8/4/2019 ACM Small Group SEMINAR Mentoring Resource

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/acm-small-group-seminar-mentoring-resource 35/107

Why Small Groups?

The problem is the large group system - it isan information system. And transformationis difficult in a large group system.

Small groups, however, offer a transformationsystem. In small groups people can

become contributors, and not justconsumers.

8/4/2019 ACM Small Group SEMINAR Mentoring Resource

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/acm-small-group-seminar-mentoring-resource 36/107

Why Small Groups?

Someone has said that,

"Every problem in thechurch can be traced

to the 4th century

when the churchbecame audience."

Why We Believein Small Groups

In prison, one of theharshest of punishments

is solitary confinement.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/acm-small-group-seminar-mentoring-resource 53/107

Why Small GroupsCutting people off from

relationship is painful.Yet, every weekend, churches

are filled with people who arein a kind of solitary

confinement.

Why Small Groups

One of the reasons that manyChristians experience little

spiritual growth and livedefeated lives is becausethey are trying to live theChristian life in isolation.

Wh S ll G

8/4/2019 ACM Small Group SEMINAR Mentoring Resource

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/acm-small-group-seminar-mentoring-resource 55/107

Why Small Groups

God never intended anyone tolive the Christian life alone.

This is now the BEST time whereeveryone may NOT

EXPERIENCE the “solitaryconfinement” punishment of life

… let’s LAND them into SmallGroups with trained and excellent

loving Small Group Pastors.
