Pastor Johnny Hunt at www.fbcw.org mentions often how he sits in a class. He often quotes his teacher in his sermons. Pastors should have a group they sit in and not necessarily lead. Our problem is we ask people to do what we don't do. And that's dangerous. We have substituted biblical discipleship in part with programs which suck the relational life blood out of the church. Darryl, what do you think of sermon based small groups? Hey Darryl,

But their example in leading or at least participating in a class or group is powerful. Why not start a class before worship on Sunday night? Or why not start a men's group in the early morning at a restaurant? Or for couples in a home during a weekday evening? Hold up the value of classes/groups. Share a testimony about your participation. Check out this blog post: When Pastors Attend Sunday School/Small Groups, It Is Contagious!
