You are not just a face in the crowd.

Main message: Christians should move from anonymity to intentional, vulnerable relationships in small groups so they can be known, encouraged, challenged, and spiritually grown. The goal is building a deep life, not just a large crowd.

Key points:

• You can't stay anonymous forever; eventually you need to be known by other believers.
• The aim is to build lives, not just increase attendance.
• Small groups are the context for encouragement, challenge, prayer, and accountability.
• Vulnerability is essential—having people with whom you can take off the mask and share your heart.
• The speaker models this commitment personally (he and his spouse are in a small group).
