A New Way: Small Group Meetings

Last Lord’s Day, the Lord’s speaking was on continuing steadfastly in remembering the Lord by participating in the bread breaking meeting and also in the small group meeting until the Lord returns. The former is for remembering the Lord as the Head of the Body, Christ, and the later is for the building up of the Body of the Head, the church. And both are for bridging the gap between now till the Lord returns.  

Following the burden, we have been practicing bothin our church life. These days, we have been strengthening the small group living of the saints where we retain the existing saints, recover the dormant saints, and revive the function of the saints in gospel preaching and perfecting for the building up of the Body. 

In our group meeting in Secotr 56 area, we have completed the pursuing of the Life Lessons of four volumes. Now, we are starting a new series, Messages for Building Up the New Believers, in which we encouraged all the saints to study the messages and be constituted with the truth before coming to the meeting, and during the meeting, we all exercise to share the truth and fellowship after some assigned ones gave the week's message overview. 

In the other three group meetings, in Velley View, Kanhai Gaon, and Sector 4,  that comprises the new believer ls and new ones too, we purse the Shepherding Materials, lesson by lesson. It was the sovereignty of the Lord that each week, the Lord spoke in a definite way according to the need of the new ones. In two of the small groups with the new ones, I myself enjoyed being supplied by the ministry and by also supplying the ministry to others. The Lord knows the present need of the saints and He speaks according to the present situation of all the saints. 

What a wonderful church-life where the building up of the Bidy is taking place! Hallelujah for the Body! Hallelujah for the speaking of the Lord in and through the small group meetings!

Small group meeting and living is the way to practically shepherd and build up the saints. Small group meeting is our small group living too. What was lacking in the Lord’s Day meeting could be compensated in the small group meetings at the homes of the saints. This is the new way the Lord showed us for our continuing stedfastly until He returns. Praise the Lord for the new way!
