Christian Fellowship
"Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."
-Acts 2:46-47
Hi, my name is Max. I am a Christian looking to start a home church and Bible study in Wagga Wagga.
Sadly, it is becoming harder and harder to find churches that teach real meat — where believers can talk and pray together about real issues and wrestle with hard theological questions. I have a deep longing for genuine fellowship with like-minded Christians.
I am not against organised Churches and I am not launching a campaign against them. I am floating the idea of starting a home church as an alternative for those who slip through the cracks of large organised congregations. Also, I want to create a place for Preterists to worship and fellowship together in the Riverina region. Because sadly, a consequence of realising the truth of Christ's fulfilled promises, is a feeling of exclusion from some Christian groups, literal exclusion from others, and a unfulfilling worship in the false expectation of a future coming that I know has already occurred. Christians are still waiting for Christ to come and end the world and beam them up to Heaven while Earth burns in their wake. They are missing out on the confidence and joy of knowing Christ completed His redemptive work, in history, and we are now free from the curse of sin and death under the eternal New Covenant age of grace that has no end.
My motivation is shaped by the example of the early church as described in Acts 2:42–47:
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.
All the believers were together and had everything in common.
They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.
Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favour of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
My idea is that we would take turns hosting Bible study and worship in our homes, sharing meals, studying scripture, praying, and enjoying fellowship together. I would love to see it grow into a small, supportive community — a place where we can be ourselves, comfortable, casual, and encouraging of one another.
