Housechurch

After the resurrection of our Lord Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah), Messianic Jews met in each others' homes regularly and often to worship Him. While they still attended their local synagogue and trekked to the Temple per Torah, they also met in their homes to celebrate the Messiah--something that was not allowed by the Jewish leadership of the day. Such housechurches were common then and have been since then.

In a housechurch, there is no money collected, no salaries paid, and nothing spent on facilities and such. The time is spent worshiping, learning, and providing ministry to others. The Last Supper (a Passover Seder) is often remembered by way of communion (the Eucharist) in our homes. Healings sometimes take place. Prayer fills these homes during the gathering and always. Songs are often sung, and the Bible is always opened, preached, and taught.

We encourage all to be a part of (or lead) a housechurch, for there is often greater ministry in these than in the synagogue or "traditional" congregation. We also encourage you to be a part of a "traditional" chuch as well, to teach them about housechurches, and to serve the Body of Christ. Even if you attend no other housechurch, lead one in your own home with your family.

Our family hosts a housechurch in our home on Sabbath with an emphasis on the Word. Our expository teaching also features contextually topical exploration, and it is covered liberally in prayer.
