(1Ch 12:32) And of the children of Issachar, which

were men that had understanding of the

times, to know what Israel ought to do…

Getting involved in a life group

(Act 2:46-47) And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from

house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to

the church daily such as should be saved.

(Luk 10:38-39) Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister

called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

(Ecc 4:9-12) Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his

fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not

quickly broken.

Exodus 18:13-27

I. The DEMAND for life groups

(Exo 18:13-18) And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people:

and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening. And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to

the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto

even? And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God: When they have a matter, they come

unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God,

and his laws. And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not

good. Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing

is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.

filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

(Col 3:16) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace

in your hearts to the Lord.

(Gal 5:13) For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the

flesh, but by love serve one another.

(Gal 6:2) Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of

Christ.

(Heb 3:12) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil

heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

(Heb 3:13) But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

B. The demand for Efficient

ministry

(Exo 18:13) And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the

people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.

(Exo 18:14) And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee

from morning unto even?(Exo 18:15) And Moses said unto his

father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:

(Act 6:1) And in those days, when the number of the disciples was

multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians

against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in

the daily ministration.

(Act 6:2) Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto

them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of

God, and serve tables.

C. The demand for Energized

ministry

(Exo 18:17) And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing

that thou doest is not good.

(Exo 18:18) Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this

people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it

thyself alone.


II. The DIRECTION for life groups

(Exo 18:19) Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:

(Exo 18:20) And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and

shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that

they must do.



III. The DIRECTOR for life groups

(Exo 18:21) Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the

people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating

covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of

hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:



III. The DIRECTOR for life groups

IV. The DESIGN for life groups

(Exo 18:22-27) And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the

burden with thee. If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be

able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace. So Moses hearkened to

the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said. And Moses chose able men out of

all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of

hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. And they judged the people at all seasons: the

hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.
