Cell Group Worship: Living in God’s Presence
Worship
What is it that makes our meeting together special from other groups? Clearly, it is the presence of the Lord. Matthew 18:20 says:
“For where two or three have gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst.”
We, God’s people, must live in our Lord’s awesome presence. As His humble people, we are ready to hear and do His Word. We love God, not the world. We confess our sins. We adore His great name. We are sensitive to the Spirit’s leading and purpose rather than our own program.
- Excited about worship. Disciples who are greatly excited about the presence of God in their worship and ministry times.
- Pursuers of godliness. Disciples who understand holiness is not conformity to other people’s standards, but who possess an ever-growing inward desire to know and do God’s will.
- Devoted to prayer. Disciples who actually pray regularly and consistently. Prayer, above all its other functions, is essentially our communication with God and willingness to live our lives in His presence.
“Before prayer can make a difference in the cell, the cell leadership must ‘know that they know’ that unless God breathes His life into our methodologies, they are just wood, hay and stubble.”
— Comiskey, HCGE, p. 44
“If you have to make a choice between praying and doing, choose to pray. You will accomplish more, and then achieve more by your doing, because you did!”
— Neighbour Jr.
