Session 5: Not Just Pure Blessings, Those Who Can Do It Really Do Have Skills! (Ps Lawrence Khong)

The Cell Group Agenda
1. To love one another (part 1)
Inside cells we must minister (EDIFY)
- That we see God’s answered prayers

2. To love one another (part 2)
Outside cells we must multiply (EVANGELISE)
- If not we’ll just keep focusing on our own problems, or worse, we start focusing on others' problems i.e. gossiping!

3. To train each other to love
Cells must mobilise (EQUIP)
There are 3 levels of learning:

a. Cognitive (Knowledge) - you have to KNOW HOW IT’S SUPPOSED TO WORK
b. Psychomotor (Skills) - you have to KNOW HOW TO DO IT
c. Affective (Values) - your heart has to be transformed and WANT TO DO IT!

You impart it not by sending people to class. You need to create a culture in the cell that everyone in the cell does it! Then when new people join, they see that it is the only value/option that everyone does, therefore they will do the same too!

John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Reason for cell gatherings
MINISTRY AND EDIFICATION must be the explicit, main reason of cell group
