A House Church we want to attend
The core of house church ministries is house church. I have found that house churches that are doing well have something about it that makes a person want to attend. How can we create a house church that we would want to attend?
Firstly, for a house church to be a place we want to go, it has to be fun. Having fun doesn’t necessarily mean a place filled with laughter and conversation. That type of fun doesn't last long. It is when you feel that the house church is beneficial and a place where you can resolve the stress and difficulties in your life. The hearts of immigrants are filled with loneliness and the stress of life. So, you can feel a place is fun because your story is being listened to and heard. In a world where people don't listen seriously to other people's stories, I think house churches are attractive because everyone feels respected when their stories are listened to. However, we must be careful. When we share our story we need to practice sharing our thankfulness and end with thankfulness so that we do not affect the mood with negative remarks or comments.
You need to practice sharing your thankfulness and ending with thankfulness so that you do not cloud the mood with negative remarks or negative comments just because you are talking about yourself.
Secondly, we want to go to house church only if it’s warm. The house church feels warm only when the shortcomings and mistakes of members are accepted. The house church is not a place to study. The house church is not a place to give advice and teach. If the house church is a place where you are accepted, it is also a place to practice. Therefore, when other members are sharing, you must be very careful not to interrupt or give advice. And we need to practice encouraging and praising each other. If someone does well, applaud generously, and if they do poorly, applaud even more. You need to find things to praise with great interest and love. When you do this, it naturally becomes a house church you want to attend.
Thirdly, we want to attend a house church where prayers are answered. If house church is limited to sharing, it is difficult to experience God. Through the house church, when you experience God through prayers being answered, you want to attend. The shepherd must seize the moment well when the Holy Spirit works during the sharing. At that moment, we should stop sharing and pray together. After all the sharing is completed, the shepherd should take the contents of the sharing and provide short prayer points for the members to pray together. During the prayer time, prayers for VIPs and missionaries should not be omitted. After the house church meeting, the shepherd should post the prayer points again in the group chat room so that members can pray during their daily life.
Word of the week
To have a happy life of faith, we must serve one another well. When we look out for the needs of other and help and serve each other, without even realising it, we all experience happiness.
