God is Calling His Churches Back Into The Home:

 

GOD IN CHRIST JESUS IS CALLING HIS CHURCHES BACK TO THE FAMILY HOME:

The Lord mandates me to cultivate, enlighten, and empower Jesus Christ's nations and daughters in His love and grace. Please know this: I am not in the work of ministry to beg for money, but I do need financial supporters. I am in Christ's work and ministry to hear Jesus Christ say, "Well done, good and faithful minister;" this is the everlasting reward we are expecting to hear and receive. Glory to God in Jesus Christ.

( Is House Or Home Churches Biblical? )

A home Church or Churches are biblical when it faithfully follows God’s teachings, practices, and leadership principles. The location doesn’t define the Church—what matters is that believers gather to worship, learn, and support one another in Christ.

What does the bible say?

House Churches are certainly biblical. In fact, the first Church began in a home on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2), and Acts 2:42-47 provides a description of the early Church that included a focus on the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. It also records people sharing resources to meet needs, God working in mighty ways, and others joining the Jesus Believers of the way movement. Later in Acts 5:42, we see that the Apostles preached and taught in both houses and in the temple. Moreover, in Romans 16, many house Churches are mentioned, and in 1 Corinthians 16:19 and Philemon 1:2, hosts of house Churches are mentioned by name.

From the Old Testament

The Old Testament doesn’t specifically mention “house Churches,” since the church as the body of Christ didn’t exist yet. However, it does provide principles about gathering for worship, teaching, and fellowship that support the idea of believers meeting in homes or small groups. For example, God’s people were often commanded to teach His Word to their families and dwellings (Deuteronomy 6:6-7).
While large assemblies took place at the temple, smaller gatherings in homes or local settings were common for prayer, teaching, and fellowship (Exodus 12:3-6, Numbers 9:1-14).
Believers were called to open their homes to others for mutual encouragement and support (Genesis 18:1-8; 1 Samuel 1:24-28 shows dedication and shared worship within the family context).

From the New Testament

On the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2), the first Church was “born” in a home, and in Acts 2:42-47, we see how the Church functioned and how God blessed it with more members.
The first Church in Jerusalem actually consisted of both home gatherings and larger outdoor worship times. Acts 5:42 notes, "And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that Christ is Jesus."
In Romans 16, multiple house Churches in Rome are mentioned.
Other early Churches also met in homes. For example, Aquila and Prisca held Church meetings in their home (1 Corinthians 16:19).
In Philemon 1:2, a Church met in the home of Philemon.
Think!

Implications for today

It is important to keep in mind that the term "Church" in the New Testament was used in reference to the gathering of believers rather than the building in which they met. A Church gathering can meet in a home, an outdoor location, a Church building, a cathedral, a school, a gymnasium, or any other structure suitable for corporate gatherings aimed at worshipping God.

Three concerns are often mentioned regarding modern house Churches. First, home Churches are often non-traditional and do not "feel" like Church to those accustomed to meeting in Church buildings. This is a cultural issue and not a biblical concern. Some people will feel like they can worship better in a cathedral, while others prefer a home. The issue here is not biblical, but cultural.

Second, home Churches are sometimes started in opposition to what is seen as the institutional Church. This motive could be seen as questionable. Churches are not intended to work as one congregation against another, but rather serve as parts of the same Jesus Royal Believers Way family.

Third, home Churches tend to lack the accountability of a larger Church or a Church that is connected with a network or denomination of Churches. In-home Churches, theological corruption, or sinful moral practices can more easily become part of the lives of Church members when there is no outside network of believers to help with theological beliefs or moral purity.

While home Churches can serve as a biblical Church, especially in remote locations or where there are few Jesus Royal Believers Way Saints, there are also other locations in which Church gatherings can take place, as well as concerns to address for those who choose to participate in a house Church. Location is less important than the functions of the Church, which are to ultimately be a place of worship for God and a community from which to make God's Kingdom Spirit Filled & anointed sons and daughters in Yeshua. Amen.
