The early Church

Romans 16

A study of the early Church would reveal that they primarily met in homes. Until 300 a.d. it was against the law to meet in public buildings. This probably contributed to the health and authentic, energized growth of Christ’s followers. In homes, the believers would fellowship, eat, study, and pray together. When persecution of Christians occurred, the home meetings became essential.

Although we are still free to meet in public buildings (such as Trinity Church), meeting in homes still stimulates the healthy factors that cause Christians to grow and flourish in their faith. Home fellowships cause you to “get into” the lives of your brothers and sisters in Christ. Find one soon to join.
