If your house is next to a synagogue where people want to hear about Jesus but are forbidden, then your house becomes a great place to start a church! This was Paul's strategic thinking.
Everywhere Paul went he found people who were receptive to the message of Christ. He began with his own countrymen in the synagogues, but moved on from there to anyone who would listen. He knew that the gospel was for everyone who would listen and believe. His desire was to see healthy churches planted in every city.
This is still the mission of the church. Wherever there is not a healthy church, a new church should be planted. There are many places in the world that need churches. Many believers have no places to gather and worship. For some, gathering is still illegal! In our culture, we have plenty of places to gather, but too few healthy churches.
Get involved in the mission of healthy church planting. Maybe God wants to use your house.
