Real House Church

What did Christians do in these house-churches, most of which were just ordinary homes? Vivid descriptions have come down to us, of a preacher at Smyrna for example, of the Eucharist in Rome, of Baptism in Carthage, and so on. We must not think that Christians did things in the same way everywhere.

Real People

But as we mention one place and another we shall be seeing real scenes, meeting real people, and catching something of the spirit of these house churches. We must also be careful not to imagine the Early Church as altogether good. These samples which we shall look at now are good ones, but later we shall come upon problems, failures, mistakes, divisions. As Christ Himself said, there were "weeds among the wheat."¹

¹Matthew 13.25
