What About Home Churches?


Dr. Couch, I understand that Home Churches are growing like crazy. What do you think about this? 
 
  ANSWER: Because so many people are fed up with the Seeker Friendly church and the Hot Rock Congregations, they want to find peaceful and solid fellowship and teaching in the out-of-the-way places, like in a warm home setting. 

    I could not agree more whole-heartedly! While we know the early church traditionally met on the first day of the week, Sunday, this was not a “moral” imperative to do so. They were also instructed by Paul, “Therefore when you meet together …” which may imply that they did not meet consistently every week, but when they did, “do so and so”! (1 Cor. 11:20). 

 Home churches are exploding in number, and, more people are traveling some distances only a few times a month, in order to find a Bible teaching fellowship! 

   The Lord will always have His spiritually thirsty sheep who will go anywhere to hear His Word! 

   Thanks for asking,

   Dr. Mal Couch
