I really enjoyed reading Leaving Church Becoming Ekklesia by Tim Kurtz. The author talks in depth about the true meaning of the word “Ekklesia” and how and why the word “church” ended up replacing it in the Bible. Concerning the word church, Tim writes… “We have embraced and perpetuated a culture around a single word. […]

I love Acts 2:42. Most of the relational fellowships I visit go heavy on the “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching” and not so much on the “breaking of bread”. When brothers and sisters sit at the same table, eat and fellowship, something supernatural happens. Relational fellowships work best when all four elements are well […]

The majority of books on House Church were published 25-35 years ago so it’s delightful to find a recently published book. It’s even more delightful when the book is worth reading and full of wisdom. Rex Whitman’s book House Church Now was published in 2023 and I highly recommend it. The excerpt below is about […]

Have you ever taken a bite of a piece of cake or brownie and it was so rich you couldn’t eat the whole thing at one sitting? Victor Choudhrie’s book Greet The Ekklesia In Your House was like that for me. I read the PDF version of the book which was 206 pages. The book […]

The excerpt below is from a book entitled Starting A House Church by Larry Kreider & Floyd McClung. Published in 2007 it has elements that are a bit outdated but most of the content is solid. I especially enjoyed the comments about pitfalls when gathering. Some of those comments are excerpted below. If we seek […]

Written in 1952 by Emil Brunner, The Misunderstanding of the Church is a deep read. You can get a flavor of the book by reading the excerpt below. If you’re like me, you might have to read it a couple of times, intentionally. Blessings. The Word of God is truly and effectively in the Church […]

The best book I’ve read so far on church history is a book by Dr. Kim Tan entitled Lost Heritage. Over and over again our brothers and sisters, who just wanted to follow Christ, were martyred and exterminated because they did not tow the Church/State line. It’s a heartbreaking read but we need to understand […]

Another great book by Jon Zens entitled We Are Christ on Earth. Jon’s books are easy to read and understand and are great gifts for friends and family who might be interested in relational gatherings. The excerpt below talks about the forgotten horizontal dimension of the cross. To check out Jon’s books go to jonzens.com. […]
