Wei Hao's sermon

Today its our first youth cell where we combine with the guys' teens.. Our focus for today's youth cell is about setting ground rules as we want the youth to know the importance of cell and to not treat cell like a market place....IS also to check their attitude towards God. I asked one of the guys to share about the importance of cell. His name is Wei Hao...i am so proud of him. He put in a lot of effort in his preperation. I believe God is proud of him too. At such a young age, he understand the importance of cell and came up with 3 point short sermon of the importance of cell. It really spoke to me and i hope it will speak to u too....
Wei Hao's sermon
Three truths of cell group that I hold on dearly to / Why is cell important to me ?

Each of us is running our own race; we all have the same end point but we each have a different path. We can¡¯t run this race alone, we run as a cell. Philippians 3:14 (I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.) Why do we need the cell to run the race? The cell gives us 3 As.

1st A
Anointing ¨C Matthew 18:20 (For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them) God¡¯s presence will be among us.

2nd A
Assurance ¨C Hebrews 10:24-25 (And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another¡ÂȘand all the more as you see the Day approaching.) Receive assurance because cell group was birthed from the bible.

3rd A
Accountability ¨C Hebrews 13:17 (Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.) God placed leaders amongst us to guide us and be our pillars of strength when we are weak.

Keep checking the condition of our heart. What is our purpose in attending cell group? - Always come with an open heart and open mind ready to receive and ready to give. We gather to know God and make God known.

I believe if you commit yourselves to being faithful to cell group, God will bless you mightily. The very fact that you¡¯re here delights God. We¡¯re all rough pieces of diamonds. Through the cell, God will shave off uneven pieces of the diamond, until we become beautiful, shiny diamonds in Him.


I can forsee him as a pastor.....
