"Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped
teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah." - Acts 5:42
Meeting “house to house (Ac. 5:42)” for song, prayer, scripture, eating, laughing, and crying, is the Lord’s means for forging real community and relationship.
As relationships develop and lives are “shared (1 Thess. 2:8)”, obedience to Jesus becomes a shared experience as members encourage one another along the narrow path.
Sharing our dinner tables and living rooms with unbelievers opens a door for sharing “our message (Rom. 10:16)” and gives a front row seat for how believers love and care for another.
Should we experience seasons (1 Pet. 4:12-14) where our larger corporate gatherings are taken away , Home Groups can still function in our mission of following Jesus in worship, discipleship, and evangelism.
