Why
have a cell group ministry?
It is scriptural:
Throughout the book of Acts
and other NT Books, they met from house to
house; they taught in homes; gathered in homes
to pray; they had church in homes. Acts 1:12-14;
2:1-4 - Pouring out of the Holy Spirit in the
upper room, Day of Pentecost.
- Acts 2:46 - Apostles and
believers met from house to house.
- Acts 5:41, 42 -Peter and
other apostles taught in homes.
- Acts 8:3 - Saul entered
believers’ houses to destroy the church.
- Acts 10:22-24 - Peter shared
Christ with Cornelius and his close friends
and relatives in Cornelius’ home.
- Acts 12:12 - Believers
gathered in a home to pray for Peter when
he was imprisoned.
- Acts 18:7,8 - Ministry
took place in Justus’ house.
- Acts 20:20 - Paul taught
from house to house while in Ephesus.
- Acts 28:30-31 - Paul preached
while confined under house arrest in Rome.
- Romans 16:3-5; 1 Corinthians
16:19 - There was a house church in the home
of Aquila and Priscilla.
- Colossians 4:15 - There
was also a church in Nymphas’ home.

a church in Philemon’s home.
Cell groups are a place
for people to get their needs met.
It provides an opportunity
for believers to grow in their faith and
to be involved in the work of the ministry.
- Eph. 4:11-12 The Pastor's
job is to equip the saints for the work of
the ministry.
- The Saints job is to do
the work of the ministry
The end-time harvest: Matthew
9:37 - Harvest is plenteous, but the laborers
are few.
- It helps us to fulfill
the vision of our Pastor. “I’m
not asking you to win the world, just one
a month.” PJ
