Worship
(~20mins)

The Purpose
As the group has focused on each other in the Welcome time, now we focus on God, inviting His presence to be among us. We do this because we recognise we need Jesus at the centre of our cell. Without His life there would be no point in us meeting. This focus on God ensures the 'love God' command is included.

How?
Recognise together that Jesus is with us – when 2 or 3 gather in his name this ushers in the presence of God by the Holy Spirit. We can expect to experience God with us in our cell meeting.

It's helpful early on in the cell cycle to focus on why we worship God, and to discover what difficulties we are experiencing in worship. That can give us helpful insights into our relationship with God

This part needs some prior preparation to get the most out of it - there is potential for this part to be an extremely powerful time as we really meet with God.

Be creative in ways we can worship outside of the corporate singing experience, but make sure that your ideas are valid ways that you yourself can worship God. Check with your cell leader if you are unsure if something will work.

As you get into worship, some may bring words of knowledge, or prophecy, which can lead to prayer or ministry. Cell members should be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, expecting that God will speak to us and be ready for the group to respond.

Be bold and prepared to go with the promptings of the Holy Spirit. This will often mean asking the question after a worship time, “Has anyone has got anything from God they want to share?” eg. pictures, scriptures, prophecies.

Don’t compromise if there are not-yet Christians in the cell. The very fact they are there means they are open to explore a spiritual side to life. Worship is very attractive and Jesus doesn’t want to be hidden!
