身體只有一個，聖靈只有一個，正如你們蒙召，同有一個指望。一主，一信，一洗，一 神，就是眾人的父，超乎眾人之上，貫乎眾人之中，也住在眾人之內。Objective:
There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Ephesians 以弗所書 4:4-6
- Prepare brothers and sisters for the new cell groups in Feb.
- Small game at Rm 100 led by Anthony.
- If you were given a group of young people like Journey, how would you divide them into cell groups (e.g. Base on living areas [SW, NE, NW, SE]? base of ages?? Base on personalities?? Base on spiritual gifts?? Base of the ages of spirituality?? Base of genders [three male groups and three female groups]?? Base of marital status?? etc...)
- How long should a cell group last (one year, a few years, "til death do us part", etc...)?
- What are the responsibilities of the group leaders? Do the group members have any responsibilities? If yes, what are they?
因為世人都犯了罪，虧缺了 神的榮耀Because of this,
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 羅馬書 3:23
- There's no perfect grouping method. We can't expect every member in your cell group is "perfect" and 100% "compatible". It takes time to bond every member together (maybe a few months, maybe a few years). Group leader can't do it alone. Every member should at least have a few responsibilities.
- Everyone have his/her own "imperfectness". We don't need to hide ours in front of our cell group members. In fact, we should be "open".
- We need to learn to forgive and 接納
- 接納不同背境／興趣的組員，接納你認為「無共同話題」的組員
e.g. 耶穌接納撒馬利亞婦人 John 4:5-42 - 接納你認為「唔掂」的組員，接納與你（或曾與你）有「瓜葛」的組員
e.g. 耶穌接納稅吏 Matthew 9:9-12 - 接納你認為「無得救，可以放棄」的組員
e.g. 耶穌接納犯姦淫的女人 John 8:1-11 - 接納有過犯的組員
e.g. 耶穌教導怎樣勸諫 Matthew 18:15-17
信的人都在一處，凡物公用；並且賣了田產、家業，照各人所需用的分給各人。他們天天同心合意恆切地在殿裡，且在家中擘餅，存著歡喜、誠實的心用飯，讚美 神，得眾民的喜愛。主將得救的人天天加給他們。
All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
Acts 使徒行傳 2:44-47
- What is the meaning of 相交生活 or 小組生活?
- 留意他們不單在殿裡讚美 神，且在「家」中擘餅，存著歡喜、誠實的心用飯。
- 小組不是不單是教會中的相交模式，且是日常生活的一部分，我們要在日常生活中記念組員的需要，分享，一同祈禱，一同讚美等等。Make cell group part of your daily life!!
- Characteristics of a healthy cell group: 得眾民的喜愛。主將得救的人天天加給他們。

There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Ephesians 以弗所書 4:4-6
- Cell group should be treated as one body. Why we can’t live as a body? (e.g. We just focus on ourselves…)
- Do you know anything about Holy Spirit? Why is Holy Spirit important to us as a cell group?
- What did Jesus do for you? (He died for us when we are a sinner) How does Jesus mean to us as a cell group?
- What is your understanding of “Faith” Why is Faith important to us as a cell group?
- Who is your God? (Money, fame, desire…)
- 為何經文強調「一」？
- The main elements which "glue" us together are our LORD, faith and baptism; Our God who is our Father of all, NOT our common backgrounds, hobbies/interests, personalities, leaders, spiritual gifts, our talents, activities, fellowship programs, etc...
- If we truly believe in ONE Holy Spirit, ONE hope, ONE LORD, ONE faith, ONE baptism, ONE God, we shouldn't say something like "我與某組員唔多夾". If we say that, it means we value our group member base on something else (e.g. personalities唔夾, 興趣唔夾, etc...)
- Base on your discussion，設計一組啦啦隊動作及口號。
- All meet at Rm 100. 啦啦隊 presentation of every group.
- John 13:1-17
- Jesus served as an example!!
- & Sing a song (Anthony leads with Cindy)
- Back to own rooms.
Leaders, feel free to use to the following verses to support your arguments.
- 看哪，弟兄和睦同居，是何等的善，何等的美！
How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!
Psalms 詩篇 133:1
One of the scriptures that describes how good is being peacefully with brothers and sisters. - 所以，無論何事，你們願意人怎樣待你們，你們也要怎樣待人，因為這就是律法和先知的道理。
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
Matthew 馬太福音 7:12
One of the basic principles we should have when we treat our cell group members - 我們因為愛弟兄，就曉得是已經出死入生了。沒有愛心的，仍住在死中。
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death.
1 John 約翰一書 3:14
If we don't love our cell group members, we're just like those who're not saved yet.
