LifeGroup LAUNCHED

As a Believer of Christ, our goals and FOCUS is to fulfill the two greatest teaching of Jesus– The Great Commandment and the Great Commission.

The Great Commandment:

Matt22: 36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbour as yourself. 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

From this passage, here is where our mission statement recite: “Loving God with passion, and loving people with compassion.”

The Great Commission:

Matt 28:19: Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

The very core of the Malaysian Fellowship since the first day, which that was written in the logo itself, reflected in one sentence – “Making Disciples That Make a Difference”.

Task of the Great Commission is to make disciples. Not making new converts, make believers, not members, not attendance. As far as New Testament is concern, you are not considered Christian until you become a disciple.
Acts 11: 26 , “…..Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.” this is the first time they are called Christian. You AREN’T A CHRISTIAN UNTILL YOU ARE DISCIPLED!

As if the Malaysian Fellowship is a Big Ark (Ship), we found everything we needed here. The Ark provides awesome events, programs, Church supports, leaders, prayers, small groups and so on. But when we are back in Malaysia, graduated or back to our home town for holiday, most of them found themselves – LOST.
A ship HARD to steer and change it's direction, it requires huge energy and long amount of time. But a life boat is light and easy to move, it requires less energy and short amount of time to steer. Everyone is focusing on moving on the direction it supposed to be. Everyone knows how to use it. It SAVES life.


Therefore, we need to start create Life boat (LifeGroup) in the Ship.

But every ship today has their Life Boat. LifeGroup is a group of 3-5 people, sharing their life and be accountable to one another in every aspect of their life so that their spiritual life is not depending on the Ship itself.

There are 6 HABITS that we need to cultivate in doing LifeGroup:

H aving time with God – Have consistent time with God through prayer and Bible reading
A ccountability with one another – Have accountable relationship with other Believer
B ible memorization – Application
I nvolvement in ministry – Commitment towards the body of Christ (church, fellowship)
T ithing commitment - Understand and participate in giving & tithing
S tudy of the Scripture – Bible Study

Starting from this week, every Bible Study Group will no longer meet as usual for Saturday fellowship, until the next semester. Instead, they will be putting 100% focus on running the LifeGroup. Each of us will be given a LifeGroup Manual with the instructions on how to cultivate all the six habits, together with a Life Journal. The goal of the LifeGroup is so that we can develop the habits here in Moscow, during the summer break and till we meet again here.

The grouping of the LifeGroup does not consist strictly members of the same Bible Study Group. To meet the purpose of sharing life, the men will be with the men, and the ladies with the ladies... unless there are married, Ha!

For more info, stay in tune :)

God bless!
