Cell Group Notes W/C 2 May 2010: Welcome
Welcome
Worship
Gather together a collection of kitchen tools/utensils and put them on a small table in
the centre of the group. Ask everyone to select a tool/utensil which says something
about what God is doing in their life at the moment. Ask everyone to say why they have
chosen the utensil they have – and then turn these things into short prayers of thanks
for God’s presence with us.
Word
This is the second week of our series examining the 10 commandments –‘Framework for
Freedom’. So this week its Ex 20:4-7 – ‘make for yourselves no idols’. The passage
we’re going to look at together is Acts 17:16-31. Pray for the Lord’s help as you
discuss together, and then read out both passages.
It if helps- here are the statements I used on Sunday to explore the things which can become
idols:
• God gives purpose, meaning, and fulfilment to my life.
• God governs the way I act.
• God is the focal point around which my existence hangs.
• God is often in my thoughts, and I get enthusiastic about God.
• Thoughts of God comfort me when I’m down.
• I read about God, I talk about God, I make friends with those who are also committed to
God.
• I desire more of God.
Witness
What is the next occasion your cluster is doing something to which not-yet-Christians
will be invited? Who will they be? How can you pray for them? How can you pray for
each other as you invite them, serve them and seek to share Jesus with them?
