往往当我们一旦进入教会生活，很自然的就被安排到小组里。我们的教会也不例外。目前，我们有牧养小组，乐龄小组，家庭福音小组和即将要开始的妇女团契。这都是以小组的方式进行。我们对小组的一些基本概念是为了让我们受到牧养，好不让人流失掉，但其实很多时候当我们继续在小组生活中，我们却没有问为何我们需要小组，在长期进行小组中也没有深思我们真否达到神为我们设立小组的意义。小组,本身证明人的时间与空间是有限的。我们没有办法同时与这么多人一起建立深切的关系。所谓“朋友多，关系浅”，这是很自然的原理，而人的心灵是不能被多重关系来满足，反而要被深入的关系来满足。我们主耶稣基督活在人的空间当中，虽然天天面对这么多人，但他也是只有拣选12个人来常与他们同在，以至才能与他们建立真正的关系，培养他们为踏实跟从主的门徒。华里克牧师也说到当一个小组过了10个人，当中有的人（通常是比较文静的人）就不参与了。那时，整个组就会受几个人在影响与带动而已了。其实，我们一定要晓得人的敞开度与亲密度是有关的。我们向五六十个人说我们的问题总是概括性的，但我们向五六个人说我们的问题就能细密一点的说，而当我们说出来的时候，能够得到那五六个人的体恤，那亲密的关系也就从那边建立起来了。其实，我们有限的人是不能自己承受问题的。当一个人自己承受问题，那也就是说他没有知心的好友。从属灵的角度来说，他没有得蒙众人的代祷。可能你会说，我有家庭，我什么问题让我的配偶知道就行了。其实不然！如果真是如此，神给每个信徒一个命令，让他们都结婚就行了。但神为圣民预备的关系是肢体关系，连我们配偶也成为我们肢体关系的其中一个。并且，当我们的夫妇与儿女的关系出现问题时，我们需要其他肢体的扶持，帮助我们走出困境。所以，让我们不要取代神为我们预备的关系。人的生命有永恒性。婚姻与家庭的关系纵然是我们地上最亲的关系，但我们地上所建立的关系一定要有永恒性的意义和联结在里头，不然我们自然就会专以地上的事为念。所以，小组之间的勉励和配搭是非常关键的。那不但是维持我们的信心，更是悟性和感性带入永恒的价值里。《牧师见证：以前当我还没做牧师之前就已经带领小组了。那时也有与妻子和同事的关系，但每次只有在周三带领的小组中能得着永恒的感应。那个的相聚是将我从一切地上的思念与情感带回事实里的》。确实，人有信念，但也有情感。当世界一直用看得到人事与事物冲击我们的情感，若我们没有从主里的关系得滋润，我们很难活出我们的信念，反倒一直活在矛盾中。所以，从今天的信息，我们不但要明白为什么我们需要小组，我们也同时要晓得我们应当带着怎样的祷告来参与小组。

Often when we go into church living, we will naturally be assigned into cell groups. Our church is no exception. Currently, we have small shepherding groups, elderly group and house gospel fellowship. Soon we will be starting a women’s fellowship. These are forms of small groups. Our basic idea of small groups is to enable everyone to be shepherded so that no one will be lost. However, often when we carry on in small groups, we did not ask why we need small groups. Even after a long time in small groups, we never deeply ponder if we have achieved God’s purpose in setting up the small groups. The concept of small groups, in itself shows that man’s time and space are limited. We cannot establish deep relationships with many people at the same time. It is a natural principle when one has many friends, the relationships are usually not deep. And man’s heart cannot be satisfied by the number of relationships, but it is satisfied by the depth of relationships. When our Lord Jesus Christ was living within the space of man, although He met many people, He picked only 12 men to be with Him, so that He could establish real relationships with them, and train them to be steadfast disciples who would follow the Lord. Pastor Rick Warren also mentioned that if a small group has more than 10 people, some of them (usually the more quiet ones) will start to be disengaged. When that happens, the group will just be influenced and led by a few people. Actually, we must understand that a person’s openness and intimacy are related. When we share our problems with 50-60 people, it is usually in general terms. However, when we are sharing with 5 to 6 people, we will have more details in our sharing. And when we share, we can receive the understanding of that 5 to 6 people and intimate relationships are built from there. Actually, we are limited and cannot bear our own problems. When a person bears his own problems, it means he has no confidante. From a spiritual perspective, he has not received the intercession of others. You may say, I have a family, I will just let my spouse know about my problems. This is not true! If this were true, God will give every believer a command to get married. The relationship that God prepares for saints is a brethren relationship. Our spouse is only one of the brethren relationships. Furthermore, when our relationships with our spouse or children have problems, we need the support of other brethren to help us walk out of the situation. Therefore, let’s not replace the relationships God prepared for us. There is eternity in human lives. Marriage and family relationships may be the closest relationships we enjoy on earth, but all the relationships we establish on earth must have an eternal meaning integrated with it. If not, we will naturally focus on things on earth. Therefore, the encouragements and mutual support within the small group is critical. That not only sustains our faith, but also brings eternal value to our thoughts and feelings. <Pastor’s testimony: Before becoming a pastor, I am already leading a small group. At that time, I had my relationship with my wife and colleagues. However, it is only on Wednesday when I led small group, I could get a sense of eternity. That meeting brought me back to the truth from my earthly thoughts and desires. Indeed, man has beliefs and emotions. When the world affects our feelings with the visible things and people, if we are not nourished by the relationship in the Lord, it is difficult to live out our beliefs and we will continue to live in dilemma. Therefore, from today’s message, we must not just know why we need small groups, but we must also know what kind of prayer we should bring when participating in a small group.
