 I just want to share this verse, Proverbs 18, 21, before we pray. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. In the Proverbs 18, verse 21, so here is this principle or truth which we see in many other places in scripture, but here is very clearly about the power of the spoken word. Well, the world is using it, they call it affirmations and so on. But we as believers, we see that it is the truth in scripture, that death and life are in the power of the tongue. So two extreme eventualities, two extreme outcomes, one is death, the other one is life, and this verse ties it directly to the fact that it's in the power of the tongue, it's in speaking, it's in declaring, and the second part of the verse says that those who love it will eat its fruit. Love what? Whatever the outcome is. And if you're going to be, if you want the outcome which is life, then we ought to be declaring life, and we will, it says where you will eat its fruit, which means that you will partake or you will have the pleasure of having partaking or being able to partake of that outcome, of that fruit. So let's just make some declarations today. I don't know if you guys use the church app, this has so many declarations based on the word of God, everything has its foundations in scripture. So we'll just make some declarations. Okay, so I mean, you just have your mics muted, but you can repeat it with me, right? So let's, here we go, right? Jesus has given me the right to use his name, to act on his behalf, to do what he wants done. In his name, I cast out demons and heal the sick. Jesus has given me authority over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will by any means hurt me. Here's another one. I have received power because the Holy Spirit has come upon me, and I am a witness for Jesus Christ. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and he empowers me to heal, deliver and set the captives free. He who has called me and anointed me is God. The anointing of the Holy Spirit on my life destroys demonic yokes and removes demonic bondages off of people. Okay, here's one about blessing, right? I am blessed with every blessing that comes from God. I share and enjoy all of the blessings God has for His people. I am blessed in all that I set my hands to. The Lord teaches me to prosper and directs my ways. I walk in obedience to God and His blessings flow like a stream that never goes dry. Victory comes to me like the waves that roll on the seashore. Okay, last one. I am strong and very courageous. I am bold like a lion. God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. The Lord is my confidence and security. Amen. Praise God. Father, we thank you. We thank you for the power of your word. We thank you that your word is spirit and it's life. And Father God, we choose to speak your word. We choose to declare your word based on your promise here, Lord, in Proverbs 18, 21, that death and life are in the power of the tongue. So God, in faith and by faith, we have declared your word that we are blessed, O God, that fear has no place in us God. And yes, Father God, we have declared that your anointing breaks every yoke. We have declared that we are blessed with every spiritual blessing. We have declared, O God, that you're the one who leads us. You're the one who anoints us and we are full of power by the Spirit of the Lord. And yes, God, we thank you. We commit today into your mighty hands. We pray that you would lead us by your word and Spirit. You let your word continue to strengthen us, Lord. Whatever seems to be weak, O Father God, in us, Lord, let your word strengthen, Lord, whatever's causing death in us God, whatever's causing, Lord, damage and decay and destruction in us, in the mighty name of Jesus, let it be removed right now, let it be broken right now, let it be pulled away, let it be taken away right now in the mighty name of Jesus. And I just speak, we speak life, we speak resurrection and life in the mighty name of Jesus for your word declares, Lord, that great is your power that is at work in us according to the power of the Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead. Yes, Lord, we thank you in accordance with your resurrection power that is at work in us, Lord. Lord, we take authority and we declare your word over our own lives, God. We thank you, Father God. Thank you for leading us. We thank you for releasing life, Lord, into our lives, O Master. We thank you that you have come to give us life and life in its abundance, in its fullness. And so, God, since that is your desire, Lord, we make that our desire as well. We come in alignment with your will. We come in alignment with your desire and we say amen to that, Lord. We thank you. We give you all the praise even as we commit this whole day into your mighty hands. We give you all the praise and glory. In Jesus' matchless name, we pray. Amen. Amen. Okay, so let's continue with discipleship and small groups ministry. Okay, so last class we, I think we came to, let me just check. Yeah, we came to about life groups, the kind of life groups that can be there, the possibilities, the unlimited possibilities of cell groups. And that is what we looked at. And today we're going to continue with that. And we're going to look at, you know, some things that can help us in our formation of cell groups. So we, last class we ended with the unlimited possibility of cells. Let's just review that. And I'll just take a moment to put the notes up. Okay. So we can have different kinds of cell groups. And I think some of you have shared. I think Erin was sharing about the area cell group, the colony. So people living in the neighborhood, you know, that could be a cell group. And, and, you know, working, working, yeah, business place, maybe it's a workplace, maybe it's an office, you know, there can be a cell group there. And we heard so many, you know, so many good things that happen from these cell groups, which happen in the office, which take place during the, maybe the lunch break. It's a very short time that they meet, maybe, you know, half an hour is the maximum that they will be able to spend. But a lot of, a lot of good things, believers being edified, even people, you know, being curious, and coming to know the Lord, and also many answered prayers, and so on. Right. So, so here's a listing different kind of cell groups. So it need not be always people living in the same area, it can be a youth cell group, right. It can be only youth, maybe teenagers, maybe people in their 20s. It can be, it can be just guys, you know, just men, or maybe single women, right, girls only. And there's a lot more freedom that way to discuss challenges, to discuss issues, you know, maybe, because it's all guys, you know, you just open up and share, you know, this is, this is one area where I'm struggling with, and so on. So there's a lot more freedom to express, open up, right, and share. So, you know, maybe it's a guy, all guys, men's cell group. Maybe it's a cell group, just couples, right, married couples, and so on, like families. So we could have different types or different kinds of cell groups. And the thing is that it always helps us because these kinds of cell groups are very, very effective, right, because people are gathered together because they feel comfortable in that cell group, right. They are challenged, they are inspired, but at the same time, you know, they feel comfortable, right. So, and this is what the Lord Jesus also, when he commanded the disciples to go, the 12, to see, when he sent them into the towns, you know, he sent them with this instruction to go to the house of Israel, to focus, to concentrate on the house of Israel. He also told them, do not go, right, don't go in the way of Gentiles and so on. And so this is what we call as, you know, people group thinking in the sense that there is, there are people and they have certain commonalities in terms of culture, language, and so on ethnicity. And it's so much easier to bridge, to build bridges, right. So when the, suppose there is a cell group, and where, you know, people are gathered together because of common interests, because of common likes, because of, you know, maybe certain other factors like age, and maybe, maybe because of their, you know, their occupation, right, like businessmen's cell group, or working professionals cell group. So it breaks down a lot of walls, there's a lot of commonality. And so in order to, even to understand, accept, you know, the truth of scripture, it becomes so much easier, right. So that, you know, that is not to say that, okay, you know, all such people will be, you know, we're talking about cell group. And it's, it's, we're not talking about, of course, the church, the body of Christ is definitely, you know, transcends culture, which means goes beyond culture, goes beyond language, and so on. But, but these are important factors, right. So these are, you know, important characteristics, because, you know, if you look at any church, there is, I mean, at least there is a common language, right, you might have translations and so on. And to, you know, to bridge that gap in a particular service, but you see that there is a certain commonality, right. So maybe two languages. And, you know, you, you, you bridge that gap of people not knowing a language, culturally also, right. So you have multicultural, multi-ethnic churches, right. And so it helps if a cell group, you know, is gathered together with some commonalities. But of course, it is just a suggestion, right. It is, it should be to unite rather than to divide. Okay. So that's the thing. Always the unity of the spirit is to be kept in mind. And it's not to divide people, but it's really to unite people to make, make the cell group stronger, right. Okay. So some thoughts about youth cell group, right. If it's young people, again, we are saying that there are, there is the youth cell group will have 12 people, 12 youth, 12 young people. It's best to have, you know, girls meeting together, guys meeting together because one, there is freedom to be who you are. You're not trying to be someone else. And especially, you know, young people at that age, you know, so they're seeking identity, seeking approval and so on. So it's best if it's this way. So here's a format you can go through it later. I'm just going to, you know, it's similar to the other format of the life group that we had, I mean, the cell group that we looked at, you know, there is a time to maybe there's some snacks, there's some icebreaker, you talk about the vision, then the cell topic, and then, you know, if there are unbelievers, then there is a gospel presentation and so on. So the all leaders need to be trained. Okay, that's, that's one thing that you need to under that we need to understand that. It's, it's good to train the leader and appoint the leader. It's important. Right. So that the training in the training, the leader understands the vision in the training, the leader understands what one should do, what one should not do. Right. What is the scope of the cell group, in the sense, what is the cell group really setting out to do, what are the boundaries, etc. Right. So there needs to be a formal training, a formal training, in the sense it need not be, you know, a very long training, but it should be something where the cell group, I mean, the potential cell group leader also is able to ask some questions, clarify doubts. Right. And they're clear about what needs to be done. And so, and there is a formal, you know, appointing that happens. So with this, you know, you avoid a lot of other problems. Okay. And the cell group leader need not come back to the leadership, not either the pastor, or each and every, every, every time, you know, what should I do for this? What should I do for that? No, the training will take care of that. And if there's some kind of a material or resource that is given, so that they can check, like a manual, then that will be helpful. Okay. So, yeah, youth leaders also, you know, the same way train them as well. Okay. So here's this cell health, you know, we talked about the cell group health, the health of the cell group. Okay. So we talked about it in an earlier session where we saw that a cell group needs to be a wholesome holistic cell group, where there is equal emphasis on community, fellowship, outreach, right, looking, connecting with God, right, in terms of prayer, worship, and so on. And also raising up leaders, the cell group multiplying, right, itself. So there needs to be an equal emphasis. Okay. So how do I evaluate this? Right. So here's a tool, here's a simple tool for those of you who are in life groups, you could even consider using this. This is quite an interesting tool. Okay. And it asks some very interesting questions. It tracks some of those things that happen in a life group to look at the frequency of it, you know, how often are these things happening? Are these things happening at all? So it will help us. It'll be really helpful. Okay. So this is developed by Randall Neyba and Jim Egley. So let's look at it. Right. So first thing is upward, you know, what is the cell group leader and also the group's relationship with God to evaluate that, assess that. Secondly, inward. Right. What is inward meaning? You know, first is upward, of course, vertically. So one's relationship with God, right. Inward, meaning one's relationship with those inside of the cell group, right, with one another. Okay. So in terms of fellowship, in terms of friendship, so it assesses that, evaluates that, you know, is it getting better? Is it getting worse? Right. And so we need to use some method to find out if it's getting better. It can't be just, okay, I think it's better. I feel it's better. Right. I feel it's getting better. Whereas it need not be. Right. It's just our assumption that it's getting better. Right. So upward, inward. Then outward. Outward is, okay, what is the life group or the cell group doing in order to reach out others and others who do not know Christ? Now, what is the passion level of those in the cell group towards the world outside? You know, because a cell group can actually get very, very comfortable with just with inward looking, you know, just looking inwards, community, building friendship and forgetting the great commission. So, okay, outward looking, then forward looking, meaning, okay, now, are we actually doing something in order to raise up leaders or people in the life group, are they interested? Are they taking that step to raise, to, you know, to become sons, to become fathers and mothers. Right. In order to lead others, are they growing? Are they maturing so that they can lead others as well? And can they can they can there be something to train them to raise them up to identify these other people? So why don't we intentionally do something to raise them up as leaders? Right. So, so this, this is the four direction, if you want to call it that, right, upward, inward, outward and forward. And it can be useful, a useful tool in a cell group. And I think it's, it'll be a useful tool for a church itself, because, you know, the cell is a small part of the church. It's like the term, you know, uses like a microcosm meaning that, okay, this is a working model of how a church should be in the smallest sense. So you have this. And then, you know, you can maybe use that to assess the health of the church also. Okay. Okay. So here's a questionnaire and then there's some, you know, you can go through that, you know, how, how to score and all that. Right. There is a score which is there for every response. The left most side would be start with one and the right most column would have scores of five. Okay. So, you know, upward connecting, for example, you know, it says how many days each week do you pray for other members of your cell group? Very pertinent question. How many minutes does your cell group spend in worship in its meetings? How many minutes do you spend in devotional time with the Lord on an average day? Okay, so this is individually. So it is there 20 minutes plus or 40, 46, 45 minutes plus. How many minutes does your cell group spend in prayer in its meeting? So one is individual, the other one is as a group, corporately. Then how often does your cell group see wonderful and miracle, miraculous answers to prayer. So the whole thing is focusing on relationship with the Lord individually and corporately. Okay. So, okay, so you assign some scores. You can say, okay, how many days do you pray for them? Maybe, you know, I don't pray at all. Let's say, you know, that can be a choice, which means the point given to that it's one. Okay. So based on that, here are some evaluations. Okay. I hope you can see this. So if the score is 17 or higher, okay, it's okay. Everybody's doing well. Keep praying, which means there is the prayer life of the cell group is pretty strong, right? Both individually and also corporately, you know, people are praying, people are praying on their own, people are worshiping God on their own and also as a group. So it's strong. Okay. If it's below that, right, if it is 16 and below, then, you know, it is above the danger zone, but it could be higher. Okay. So which means that, you know, if they're, this is barely doing it, it's on and off, right, but it, they can always grow. There's always scope for growth. So this is what Jim Eagley says, you know, no prayer, no power and yeah. So this is, this is what he said, no, no prayer, no power, little prayer, you know, little power, lots of prayer, lots of power. Okay. So the importance of prayer, the importance of being with the Lord. And, and we looked at that, you know, like the, the reason the, or the Lord Jesus chose people calling them apostles, calling them as disciples is so that he can be with them, they can be with him and that he may send them out. Okay. We saw that was very clear. The purpose is that they might be with him and that he might send them out. Okay. So, so this being with him, spending time with him is very important so that he can send them out. Okay. Then, okay. So all this evaluation, so it'll help us. Okay. Maybe we need to make some changes. You know, we are spending a lot of time planning the food and, you know, get togethers and all that, but maybe we need to, it's time to increase our time together in prayer or our time alone in prayer, our time praying for one another. And we need to do more. So, you know, we can talk about that. We can encourage one another to pray more. So many things can happen. Then the second thing is inward, which means first we saw was upward. Second one is inward, which means, you know, building community, you know, building fellowship, friendship, getting to know one another in the group, you know. So, you can trust, you can share, you can carry one another's, you know, burdens. So, pray for one another and so on. Right. So, here are some questions again. How many times does your cell group meet? How many times in a month, you know, in a four-week time span? How many times does the cell group meet? It's a very important question, you know. Are they, they're not meeting at all? Just meeting once, once in four weeks. Right. So, the frequency of meeting also helps. Right. When we say frequency, we are saying how many times. Right. So, the frequency of meeting helps the group so that they can, you know, get to know one another at a personal level, understand each other's struggles, challenges, help one another, pray for one another and so on. Okay. So, so it's, it's, it has a bearing. Okay. Then how many fun activities, how many parties has your cell group enjoyed together in the past three months? And it's okay. They're just meeting for special purposes for, you know, like what happens is like, you know, what, what, what we've seen or what we've observed is that it's, you know, even during the leisure activities, you know, like a game or maybe just going for a walk or, you know, in or just sitting around, you know, around the dinner table or during a mealtime, that is when people open up, people share and maybe it's some activity, you know, so during such times, you learn about the other person in a, in a sport, you know, if you're playing a sport, you're playing some game, some activity, you learn about the person, you learn how competitive the other person is. You, you learn certain things which you do, you may not learn otherwise, that you get to know about the person and inward looking is about getting to know, building stronger friendships and strengths, you know, interests. What is that person interested in? Right? What are the person's strengths? What are the person's weaknesses? Right? So you get to observe, you get to know all this when you have some activities apart from the cell group meeting, right? Like some of the cell groups that I've seen here at APC, you know, the minute someone's in trouble, especially during the COVID time, families just, you know, the entire family was unwell, right? Mother, father, children, they're all unwell, or there's nobody to help and then so the cell group, you know, came together to help them, came together to serve, came together to, you know, just provide food and so on. So this happened because they had a strong bond, right? They had a strong bond, they knew each other and so on. They enjoyed, you know, being with each other and they, so they helped one another as well. Okay, then the other thing, other question is how many times have you invited cell group members to your home or a restaurant for a meal the past two months, you know? So, you know, have you had a cup of tea with them outside of your cell group meeting? So these are things, these are small things but these are helpful things, right? And maybe, you know, this, so this would really help the cell group to become stronger. Okay, so we might think, okay, what is the, what is the big deal in this? There are some people who are very, you know, who are people friendly, right? They like meeting people, they like being with people, they enjoy talking to people. There are, there are also, you know, temperamentally others who, who may not necessarily, you know, enjoy being with people or talking to people. Yeah, they do but, you know, for them it becomes a big effort to do that, right? So these are areas by which these are things that we can change, okay, say, okay, I need to grow in this. It's like, I don't spend that much time with the cell group members outside of the cell group meeting. So can I do something? Can I plan? Yes, you know, maybe time is rare commodity, you know, in the sense, you don't have much time, you have work and you have other things, crowding your life, you know, maybe there are young children and so you need to take care of them, all that is there. But can I plan and my day or week in such a way so that I can spend some time, you know, with the cell group members outside of the cell group meeting, maybe meet them for a cup of tea, you know, maybe have a meal with them. And so, you know, all plan some activity, you know, go on a picnic, family's going on a picnic or, you know, like we have some of the youth cell groups and these guys would go for some drive or a trek, you know, to the mountains and, you know, hills nearby. And so this helps bond, build friendships. Then how often do your cell group members sit together in Sunday worship? So we see that, you know, some of the, you know, youth or the men, young men cell group. So we see that they, you know, they serve in church together, they attend church together and so on. Right. So this is also an indicator. How often do you communicate with cell members by phone, email, cards or letter in order to encourage them? So all these things help build community. Okay, so we may not have thought about it. We may not have. We may think that, okay, these are simpler things. I want to be, you know, spiritually on fire, you know, just share the word and teach the word and so on. Yes, very, very important. We should not let go of that. Also, this is very important. Right. It'll help build community. Okay. Third one, outward looking, outward focus reaching the loss. So, well, maybe the church, our cell group has upward focus, maybe the cell group has inward focus. What about the outward focus? Okay. So some questions here. How often does your group take time in its meetings to pray for those who do not yet know Christ praying interceding for others for the lost, maybe in as neighbors, maybe as friends, families, members who do not know Christ. So what happens when the cell group does that? So they become sensitive or they receive the heart of God. They realize the burden that the Lord has for the lost. Okay. And they get passionate about the lost as well. So praying for opportunities to share and so on. Right. So how many days each week do you pray for the salvation of unbelievers? How many parties, fun events has your group done in the past that were targeted to appeal to non-Christians? Like when a visitor attends your cell group, how often are they followed up with a phone call, note or visit? Okay. Does your cell group have a clear, dated goal for when it will grow to 12 members? Let's say, you know, there it is only the leader and maybe three other members right now in the cell group. You know, so the cell group, is there a plan? Okay. By the end of the year, you know, we'd like to grow to 12 people. Of course, it is, it is God who sets things up. You know, we can go visit other, we can do things in the natural, right? Visit, call, invite people from church to be part of the cell group. So is there an intention like that? It is there a desire like that? Okay. So that is the outward focus. Then the forward focus would be multiplying leaders. Okay. So how many people or couples are being actively trained as cell leaders? Right. So intentionally training them because there are people who are gifted or people who have a passion or a desire or have a heart to, to nurture others. Right. We have a heart to disciple others. So have they been identified? Have they been, or have they been invited to be trained? Is there a process for training? Well, these are questions to ask, right? Okay. How about percentage of your group members, do you expect to lead a group at some point in future? So there are 12 people in the cell group, for example, and how many of them do you expect to start other cell groups? Can all have the potential at some point, you know, maybe are they gifted in, in God's grace then so they can start a cell group on their own? Have you thought about it? How often do you, okay, what percentage of youth adults in your group do you involve in leading parts of the cell meeting? Okay. So delegating responsibilities, you know, are you doing everything on your own? Are you, or are you delegating responsibilities to others as well so that they grow? Okay. How often do you do your prayers for your cell include a prayer for the multiplication of leaders? And how many individuals or couples in your group do you expect to go through cell leaders training in the next year? Okay. So these are things which would help with the forward focus, multiplying leaders, raising up leaders, identifying leaders in the group. Okay. So you see it's a very wholesome approach, wholesome emphasis on connecting to God, upward focus, inward focus, community. It is also, you know, outward focus evangelism and it's also forward focus where it's leadership development, developing leaders. So it's a very helpful assessment, a very helpful tool that one can use in the cell group. Okay. So you see that it is, you know, we've looked at one section, we've covered one section. So you see that it's very different from maybe a care cell meeting or a cottage prayer meeting or a home group meeting. So we are here, there is individual attention, this individual growth and development to be a disciple, to be a leader. And so that is the intention, right, to build or to enable, empower disciples to become ministers and leaders. So that is the whole process. So so this next section that we are going to see talks about training the person. Right. So the first section was about, of course, introduction to cell group ministry, introduction to cell church, and what should be the vision, what should be the focus, you know, and some of the work, some of the details we looked at, you know, what can happen in a cell group meeting, how many people, what do we do, how long does the cell group happen, what kinds of cell groups, all that we looked at. So now the second session, second section is about preparing a person in the, or people in the cell group to be leaders or becoming a cell leader. So let's say a person has potential to be a leader, and the person has been serving or maybe taking turns to lead the cell group. Now, if we feel that, okay, this person has the heart, this person has the desire, definitely they can be groomed and trained to be cell leaders, so that they can start as a couple, they start their own cell group, or maybe as an, as a individual person can start his or her own cell group. So they need to be prepared, they need to be trained. So this section deals with that, preparing to become a cell leader. It has three steps, like some general instructions, and then preparing to be a cell leader and raising up, you know, disciples, reproducing. So these are the three sections, like I said, and then we are looking at the second section, step two, right, okay. So before we go further, just wanted to, any, any questions in, in whatever we have shared so far about cell groups, any questions, any doubts, or some things that you have, you know, maybe noticed in your cell group, some difficulties, challenges, we can talk about that, right. So anything at all. So, so what has your experience been in leading a group, you know, have you tried leading a cell group? Any, can you share any experiences, like some challenges faced or anything that, you know, some, some difficulties at leading a cell group. And from whatever we have shared so far, what has been your experience in it? Anyone? I think some of you shared that you were part of cell group, like Thomas, you shared that you were part of a, so you didn't have opportunity to at the initial days, we can believe you were, you were part of a cell group, right, or a, is that what you said? I forget what you were mentioning, whether you were part of a cell group or something you said. I said part of a cell group that time was a new in Christ, that born again time, as part of the cell group. Okay, so anything that you noticed, any challenges, you know, I know, I know you must have been taking it in all in, you know, whatever was being taught, but then looking back at, you know, these things, these characteristics, anything that you can compare and say, okay, maybe this was some challenge or this was not there or this was already in place, anything like that that you can share, you know, like maybe raising up leaders, you know, did the cell group help with that or, you know, in terms of building community, like building strong relationships and friendships, did anything happen? You know, it may not have been stated, right, but it would have happened naturally, or it may not have happened. So, so those are some things where you're able to identify some things. So that was my question. The thing is, the time, I didn't know anything, just going and listening to the words, 10 and 12, 11, 15 people, one house. So I couldn't notice too much, because we used to enjoy the world. We don't know the leadership, the hierarchy, anything, we don't know anything, just be going and sitting there, listening to the word, we weren't able to notice. But when youths are gathering, I can notice, they're more concentrated about the fun activities rather than the world. It's quite difficult to hand the world among the youngsters, because they like to be enjoyed the time more than loving something. So somewhere that has to be managed, that's what I noticed. Oh, okay. Okay. Thank you. And yeah, I think the other person is Erin. Erin, how is it, like in your life, in your cell groups, like these three or four cell groups that you're part of, these four things that we saw, you know, inward, upward, inward, outward, forward. Do you notice all four or some things that are not there? You know, some things that can, you know, that has scope for improvement. What is it? Anything that you noticed? I mean, you can put it in the chat also, like four different cell groups. So I think one cell group you said, the number is almost 40, right? Almost 40 people coming together. I forget the details. I don't know which one it is, like the colony cell group or the other one was a small group, which is your friends. So like these four elements of, you know, inward, upward, outward, forward, you know, do you see that, you know, do you see that pattern in the cell groups? I'm sure each cell group would have a different thing, right? Maybe you're only in church cell group. Okay. So what is it that you noticed in the church cell group? Let me just put out those four things that will help. Okay. First, we said it was upward. Okay. So upward focus, prayer, focusing on God, inward, so that is community, friendship, right? Then we said outward, putting it on the chat outward. So it's evangelism, who preach, then forward, forward, which is raising up leaders, leaders from the group, right? Yeah. So, so you've put up, they are rooted in God's word, yes. That is great. But I'm just talking about these four areas. Mainly, you know, like, okay, so which means they are rooted in God's word. So, you know, that upward focus is there, right, when it comes to sharing the content and it's very strong. What about the other three? Like, in terms of friendship and fellowship, do people know each other? In terms of evangelism, you know, do people reach out? Is there prayer? Or, you know, are people from the group, are they being raised up as leaders? Or is the vision shared? Or is there encouragement given? I'm not finding fault, but I was saying, you know, these things actually are healthy for the self-group. So have you noticed those kind of things in the self-group? Okay, so rooted in God's word. So what you're saying when you say, I noticed only in church self-group is that, okay, you saw these elements in the, or these characteristics in the church self-group, but not in the other self-groups, right? Okay, fine. So we'll take a break and then we'll come back and discuss further, right? We'll take a break.
