Start a House Church — David Wilkerson / iThink Biblically

Which is better, a house church or a church building? I would argue that house churches ought to be preferred by Christians instead church buildings. There are some great congregations out there that meet in dedicated church buildings, however, I think Christians should meet in houses instead. The house church model is more biblical. The New Testament church never owned any buildings, all their worship services took place in the homes of those who believed. The day of Pentecost took place in the upper room of a house (Acts 1:12-14, 2:1) which was quite possibly the same house that Jesus and his disciples celebrated the Passover (see also Luke 22:12, Mark 14:15). On the day of Pentecost 3000 people believed the gospel and joined the church (Acts 2:41) and they met from day to day in the Temple (a public place of prayer) and in their homes (Acts 2:46). The Apostles would go house to house teaching and preaching about Jesus Christ (Acts 5:42). Acts 2:47 tells us that the Lord added to their number daily. House churches are mentioned all through the NT (Acts 12:12, Acts 20:20, Romans 16:5, 1 Corinthians 16:9, Colossians 4:15 and Philemon 1:2) but there is not a single mention of a church building in the NT. If we believe that the scriptures are sufficient then why do we need church buildings? There is no mention of church buildings in the bible. The people are the church. —
