I just got back from our Corps Bible study. How far this group has come in the last couple of years! I believe we're actually forming a nice little cell group without people even realizing it (I just love sneaking that in under the radar)! Our last 3 weeks have been awesome times of interaction, discussion and spiritual connection (and Bible study)! Cool!
For a long while, there was an uncomfortable feeling about how we were being perceived by the others in the group. But by committing to the long haul, we've recently been able to cut through that and I have actually started to look forward to going and what we're going to talk about! I believe we're cultivating an atmosphere where you can think out loud (I think best this way) and just bang stuff around without being taken too literally. There are a couple of exceptions, but the rest of us understand what's happening and just go with the flow.
God knows how I long to get all our people into cell groups. That's where God hangs out in today's church- in the personal interacting of his body with each other. Oh sure, he's elsewhere as well, but he just seems to be blessing the connections of the body in powerful ways these days!
So it's taken us almost 5 years to get 2 good cells going. Does that sound like a bad record? Not when you know where we're coming from! It's more like we're moving at the speed of sound! And it seems that God is just blessing everything lately! How cool is that?!
We've got a couple of other cells in the works. Pray that we'll be able to get them up and running quickly and that they'll all begin the process of multiplying soon.
