Cell Groups

[engkantada]

I'm sure most, if not all of you are part of a cell/home group with other Christians and meet together regularly for fellowship...

I'm having a really great time with my own group and growing together with them in our walk with Christ. I have a strong calling to lead my group in a discussion with the topic of 'Living for Today' (the message has been so real to me and my experiences as of late).

In saying that, I'm really keen to hear about any of your favourite group activities, discussion topics etc you've done in your own groups. I'm trying to gather some neat ideas that I may try with my own group meetings in the future. Predominantly we are a group of singles but I don't think that matters a whole lot...

Anyway, would love to hear any ideas! Cheers everyone!

I think that would be great as well as try to most of all, lean on God's understanding. We should be living for God each and every other day my friend!

Man, I sat down with the Associate Pastor (Chet) because he was looking for a leader for the College and Career class. I explained that working two jobs, running two investment clubs, and a paintball ministry means (and I specifically said these words) "I cannot accept any leadership role whatsoever."

So a couple weeks later one of the guys that works with the youth group comes by and says "Hey E, Chet tells me you're interested in leading a small group..."

So I'm like "Actually, what I said was that I'm interested in NOT leading ANY group."

"Oh but all you have to do is hit play on the DVD player and that's it really."

I told him we could talk about it later, and sure enough, a few days after we never talked about it again I got a letter in the mail outlining where my small group leadership training classes will be held.

Geez. It sounds like they won't take "no" for an answer.

You're actually talking as if you've led before. Yeah, you CAN lead and have it not take much time out of your week, but the ministry will suffer.

If you don't put in 100%, then your ministry does indeed suffer a whole lot. Not just for yourself but for those around you!

That's what I told the Assoc. Pas. after I said no. That with this many things going on, it's only a matter of time before they ALL fall apart, so let's not throw another straw on this camel's back.

I agree.

It is indeed a matter of time before all does fall apart!

Come on ikle, you can always cut out more sleep time. If you really loved God...
