 Most important part about our home groups is not just spending time together, creating a family unit and getting to know each other on a deeper level and learning about Christ together. But the most important part about home groups is that home groups is the aspect of mentorship. In our home groups, it's an opportunity to be mentored by somebody who might have been walking with the Lord for a little bit longer than you. And mentorship is very important in our lives. We need somebody to guide us, somebody to help us along the way to teach us and to grow us. And I want to tell you a story about a little girl. And this little girl, she was in the fourth grade and she was very, very shy. I mean to the point where she had no friends because she couldn't talk to anybody. But there was somebody, her fourth grade teacher, she saw her and she thought, you know what, I'm going to help this girl out. She's so shy, she's so quiet, she can't do anything, she's struggling in school because she won't talk. So I'm going to help her out. So this fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Duncan, she starts calling this girl and she says, hey, come here. You know, I want you to come and be my helper. I want you to read this out loud. I want you to help me out. I want you to choose the book that we're going to read today. And she slowly started giving her more things to do. She said, you're awesome, you're a great person. You know, you can do great things. How about you stand with me today and we'll teach the class together. And so she brought this little girl up and slowly, but surely this little girl began to gain confidence. She began to speak more, she began to get more and more friends. And today she is the first African American billionaire named Oprah Winfrey. And she is not, does not have any problem speaking, no problem talking. And she became a great person. And to this day, she credits her greatness. She credits all that she became to this one fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Duncan, who saw her, believed in her and helped to pull her out of her shell and make her a great person. And one thing she said about mentorship, what Oprah Winfrey said, she said this, a mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself. A mentor is someone who allows you to know that no matter how dark the night in the morning joy will come. A mentor is someone who allows you to see the higher part of yourself when sometimes it becomes hidden to your own view. I don't think anybody makes it in the world without some form of mentorship. And we are all mentors to people, even when we don't know it. And that's exactly what we aim for in our church is to help people. As people come, you know, you come and maybe you don't understand a whole lot about Christ, get connected into a home group. And there's going to be people who are going to help you out, who are going to love you, who are going to see the best in you. And just like in the Bible, when Jesus had his own 12 disciples, he called out to Simon, which means read, this guy was weak and emotional. But you know what? He said, he said, instead, I'm going to call you Peter, you're a rock because I see strength in you and you are going to be the rock that my church is going to be founded upon because Jesus was a great mentor. And he mentored these 12 disciples to become great pillars of the church. And that's exactly what we aim for today. So it is so important that as you come here, you give your life to Jesus Christ, get connected into a home group so that you too can be mentored so that somebody can pull out the greatness and you help you in your walk with Christ. And you will see that your life will never be the same. Amen. Amen.
