Meeting in Homes

Home is the place where we like to meet with friends, so it is the best place to have fellowship. Being the body of Christ will be easier, if we go back to meeting in homes. Most Churches will meet in the lounge in the home of one of its members.

The early Christians were devoted to fellowship, so they met in their homes. Every day they continued to meet together… They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts (Acts 2:44, 45).

Many Churches were known by the name of the person in whose house they met. We have a record of the Church in the house of Nympha (Col 4:14) and the Church in the house of Aquila and Priscilla (1 Cor 16:19). Each Church will be based in a house close to the home of one of its leaders.

In a city where the people live in apartments, Churches will look different, but the same principles should apply. The aim should be to have at least one Church in each apartment block. If a large number of people become Christians, each housing block might need several Churches on different floors of the building.
