Was just reflecting on my role as a cell group leader.
When I was reminded by the verses that Simon Wan quotes in the email to CG leaders
1 Peter 5:1-4 (NIV) Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
In NIV, the heading is: To the elders and young men.
While in NASB: Serve God willingly
In the Amplified Bible, it task the roles specifically
Tend (nurture, guard, guide, and fold) the flock of God that is [your responsibility], not by coercion or constraint, but willingly; not dishonorably motivated by the advantages and profits [belonging to the office], but eagerly and cheerfully;
Not domineering [as arrogant, dictatorial, and overbearing persons] over those in your charge, but being examples (patterns and models of Christian living) to the flock (the congregation).
Lots to work on, lots to learn, lots to apply
Dear God, I am willing. Teach me & mould this child of yours.
