Mega church versus small group?

It seems the big buzz around the church is this: Is it Gods will that we have mega churches or small groups? I have done quite a bit of study, biblical and otherwise and I have come to this conclusion. We need both. One cannot survive without the other. I mean, without the Mega church there would be no small group. I can say with all honesty that I would've never went to someones home for a "church" meeting. That would've been far too scary and quite frankly it would've freaked me out. Thus the need for the mega church. It allows for people to come anonymously and God's big enough to do the rest.
Now, the small group plays a primary role for furthering our relationships with others and with our Heavenly Father. I believe that without the small group, we are can find ourselves vering off course and not even knowing it. Finding ourselves in compromise and walking away from that which we swore the day we got saved, that we would never turn our back on God. We all know though, just by reading about Peter that even those who were face to face, with our Lord Jesus Christ, turning our backs is a real possiblilty. Also, teaching that happens in a small group, unless those are in accountability with other people, could lead to a cult or at the very least a completely unsafe situtation.
I've said this before, Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount for teaching purposes, thus the Sunday service. The real relationship was done with 12 disciples, thus the small group. Just like our intimacy with the Lord is done in our one on one time with Him, not with a huge group of people.
So, in my opinion we need to embrace both concepts, because they are both truely important to our relationship with our Heavenly Father.

Just a thought...
