About

There are many thoughts around the House-Church mindset with a small listing of their benefits below:

• It was how ‘Church’ was done in the New Testament. We see this listed/shown below:
  • House-Churches in the Bible:
    • Matthew 10:12-14
    • Luke 10:5, 7
    • Acts 10:22, 30 & 16:15, 32
  • Pentecost happened in a house:
    • Acts 2:2
  • Christians regularly met in homes:
    • Acts 2:46, 5:42, 8:3, 9:11, 12:12, 16:40, 18:7, 20:20, 21:8
    • Romans 16:5
    • 1 Corinthians 16:19
    • Colossians 4:15
    • 1 Timothy 5:13
    • Philemon 1:2
    • 2 John 1:10

• It is hard to ‘hide’ when family. All too often people come to a legacy Christian Church service only to be given to and not serve but if/when you are with family – EVERYONE participates. This has an overflow effect on our children. They have a tendency to mimic and do what they see – if participating, active, excited about serving (as will be needed) in a House-Church; we can see that carry over to the next generation.
