Developing our Relationship with Other Christians

Read Whoever loves God must also love his brother. – 1 John 4:21

Developing my Relationships with other Christians
Do you think it is essential to develop relationships with other Christians? Why?
Small group is a platform where we can grow in our relationship with God and others. As you observe and learn:
· How others overcome their problems with God’s help
· How God heals and transforms people,
· How God uses the cell to reach out to those who do not know Jesus (TCC: Trinitarians Care and Connect!)
Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. (E.g. teaching one another how to play musical instruments)

In what ways, are you developing your relationship with other Christians?
· Being regular in cell and cell activities(Hebrew 10:25)
- God’s words says that in the last days, people will fall away and abandon their faith, being in regular fellowship with other Christians helps us to be encouraged in our Christian walk.
· Being humble, gentle, patient and bearing in love (Ephesians 4:2-3)
· Interested in others’ needs (Philippians 2:3-4)
· Carry each other burdens (Galatians 6:2)

What is one thing that you think the cell or yourself can improve on so that we/you can develop our/your relationships with other Christians in our cell/Share one thing how being part of the care-cell has benefited you
· Support in times of need and crisis.(E.g. Being there in funeral, hospitalization)
· Forgive one another’s faults
· Be an encourager
· Let's be involved in support ministry, serving as host, as serving is a privilege!

Being regular in carecell benefits us a lot as God’s people we should love one another and forgive each other faults. And from this comes a powerful effect in John 13:35 By this all men will know that you are My disciples if you love one another.
Acts 2:44-47
This is the visual picture of what a care cell is like. It was a community that touched lives- people were edified, released and transformed. And as a result, many more became Christians because of the lives of the community.
Let us continue to love one another and to forgive one another faults and also to have fun and laughter as a cell!

Ask yourself:
What motivates you to come for cell? Or do you struggle to come to cell and if so, why?
Have I committed myself to a community of believers (carecell)?
Is there any Christian brother or sister that I need to forgive and love?
(1 John 4:21, 1 John 2:9,11)
What can I do to show my love for my carecell members in a practical way?
