REVEALING THE CHURCH



THE CHURCH IS NOT A BUILDING

To the church in thy house (th kat oikon sou ekklhsiai).
The church that met in the house of Philemon.

 In large cities there would be several meeting-places. Before the third century there is no certain evidence of special church buildings for worship (White, Exp. Grk. T.). See Acts 12:12 for Mary's house in Jerusalem, 1 Corinthians 16:19 for the house of Aquila and Prisca in Ephesus, Romans 16:5 for the house of Prisca and Aquila in Rome, Colossians 4:15 for the house of Nympha in Laodicea.
