Hearing Yeshua's Voice 5 - When Disciples Gather. Snapshop Of Early Yeshua Movement, Early Church
Update: 2023-02-03
Description
What happens when disciples who are all hearing from Yeshua get together? Snapshot of gatherings in early Yeshua movement. Danger of reading your church into the text. Early Christians went to Temple and synagogue when they could, but primarily gathered in homes in Jerusalem, Phillipi, Ephesus, Rome, Corinth, Colossae, and elsewhere. Time wasn't the sacred service hour on Sunday morning, it was Saturday night! Figurehead verse of the house church movement describing gatherings of disciples where each one had a gift, knew what it was, and contributed. Shaul's letter assumes that each person had a relationship with the Master, that the Ruach was present and moving, that they were gathered in a circle, not in rows facing the front, so that it was participatory and not spectator oriented and led by the Spirit rather than someone at the front, that it was an open meeting and not programmed or canned, and that it was small so that eveyone could be involved. Choice growing groups face to become huge and become less participatory, or multiply into a network of groups. Multiplication like a birth, not divorce.
