Admonishment: Primary goal of cell ministry (NTC) is to make disciples. The Lord gave us the format in which we are to follow. Small groups that have a leader who is mature in the faith and demonstrates and instructs those that are disciples. Christ’s last command to his disciples was for them to repeat the process and to reproduce new disciples. But how were they supposed to do that?
Cell Groups... Both the cell and the cell system work together to create a atmosphere of positive pure peer pressure. In the cell, a potential disciple is transformed through fellowship, prayer, and doctrine. Life transformation through Biblical principles taught and being lived out and modeled by the leadership, should bring about Holy Spirit behavioral modification... or Christ likeness. 
Successful Discipleship looks like Titus 2:1-15

• You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine. 2 Teach the older men to be exercise self-control, to be worthy of respect, and to live wisely , and be sound in faith, in love and in endurance. 3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4 Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. 
• 6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. 7 In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness 8 and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us. 
• 9 Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, 10 and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive. 11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.
• NOTICE the goal of sound doctrine is behavioral modification through Biblical instruction.
• Older men should live a certain way. 
• Older women should live a certain way.
• Young Women should live a certain way.
• Young men should live a certain way.
• It all comes down to taking the model we have been given in Scripture and put it into practice.
