This is a feel good/friendship/relationship/social/ prosperity false gospel, which isn't centered on the Scriptures. 8:00 false gospel of love, joy, peace and 10:30 discount doctrine and the need to rightly divide the word of truth by discounting hermeneutics, 10:50 the same guy from 10:30 forgets truth is important in sanctification, Christ the Lord said, Sanctify them by Thy truth, Thy word is truth. You must know the Word of God-2Tim.2:15. 11:20 the same guy of 10:30 states how he was led, meaning we aren't all led the same way. All believers are to be led by the Word of God-2Tim.3:16,17. We come to know sin by the Word of God, it is the light to my path-Ps.119:105. What you believe about Christ doesn't matter really according to this video, but only that you get alone and hug people and claim Jesus, but which Jesus is this? This is all about Jesus being your buddy, nothing about Him being Lord and Master, you slave; 'I'm with Jesus dude', type attitude. It is about God enhancing our lives (self centered, not Christ centered), when it is only about God changing you to be like Christ, which could entail suffering through persecution, disease, lack, etc., but that isn't implied in the video. 13:55 loving your neighbor as yourself is to tell them the truth of sin, righteousness and judgment, use the Law of God-10 commandments as Romans clearly points out, then call them to repentance and faith in Christ; however, to these folks it is making them feel good; it leaves out the truth that they must repent of their sin and believe on the Lord Jesus to be saved, which does naturally divide at times. Christ came to bring a sword, of course we hope it wouldn't be too divisive, but it will naturally. Men love the darkness and hate the light as the Lord stated in John 3. This idea of Love promotes' depraved indifference' false love, that doesn't reach out so they don't die in their sins and perish; true love is to warn men of the judgment and wrath of God that is upon their heads, Jn.3:36. True love speaks truth even though it causes men to hate you as they hated Christ, caring more about their souls than they care. If your gospel doesn't cause men to hate you, you had better question what you are preaching (Lk.6:26). In 2Cor.5 we see Paul having true love, preaching reconciliation to God because men are at enmity against God, warring against God in their hearts. This is preaching acceptance and selfishness. 12:16 What is loving the block to them? Nothing about preaching the gospel, for that is why Christ came (Mark 1). Romans 10 is clear on that as well; the means by which God has chosen salvation to come is not through showing everyone community love, faith comes by hearing the word of God, preached in its full council (Acts 20:27) as Romans 10 states. Nothing here about you being a rotten sinner before a Holy God and He is a just Judge and has appointed a day in which He will judge the world in Righteousness (Acts 17), if you are without Christ, who is the only way, you'll end up in hell. Nothing about repentance of sin or faith alone in Christ by His grace alone and for His glory alone. 18:20 suffering in Hebrews 11 according to Chan seems to be what is going on in this video, but those in Scripture preached the Word of God, unlike these people. WOW! These people in this video are really suffering, lot of hate, blood, persecution, etc. This video is promoting a false gospel as I mentioned at the start and Chan is not a minister of the gospel of Christ, but rather a social gospel. According to Gal.1, this is gospel is of the devil.

Church is where The Spirit of God dwells, and where souls are saved. They can be big or small and of any denomination. The Catholic Charismatic movement swept thru the Catholic Church and gathered the harvest there, tho some remained to nurture true believers there. We are all part of one body of Christ where Christ is the head and some of us are hands, feet, eyes, ears, and some are unseen inward parts. Not all home churches are good, not all mega--churches are bad.

For many years I longed for more even as a pastor, but our denominations, expectations and religious culture oppresses such "independence" from the "traditional American church".

It's a hard journey and I think they don't understand why this is leading me away from my church a little bit (our church leadership have read Letters to the Church years ago, but they're still doing it the same way... and I believe that God is leading me another way, which naturally does cause me to drift from the church I was a part of, and still sort of am). And I know that they may try to pressure me to go another way, but I can't be led by that, I have to be obedient to what I believe God is calling me to do. ❤🙏🙏🙌 Amen, by His Grace. 💛 It has been so encouraging to read these comments.

I truly love this concept and it becomes increasingly laid upon my heart as the way church is intended to be. My question is this: In the videos, we see kids as part of the meals and everyday life, but they weren't in the prayer and Bible study time. What does house church look like with multiple kids of multiple ages? What are the expectations for multiple children ages baby to early elementary in this setting? I only ask because in my experience with my children at house church, I hear and participate very little because my children require most of my attention.

Disciples making disciples, coming along side one another encouraging one another with the Word, breaking bread together, sharing fellowship, and being intentional in being IN the community where you live seeking opportunities to share Christ. THIS is the great commission.THIS is the early church we read of in Acts. THIS is what i long for and am not experiencing by attending a structured service where serving is childcare, those who play instruments and others working the sound board or in some services passing a plate or preparing the elements or a few select caring for the needs of the body. Those are acts of service that do not give opportunity for gifts to be used for the edifying of the body. One person reading and discussing....teaching the Word does not give others the opportunity to share what Holy Spirit reveals, convicts, teaches to share and encourage others. This is not community. You don't need a band or praise team to worship God. Church isn't a club. It's the people of God loving God and loving others both in the body and outside. You need contrite hearts that pursue Him and love Him through obedience of loving others. Our family lives in GA and i pray asking God to grant us this. We have ordered the book and i'm sure that it's topic is based on God's Word.

I agree on almost all of what you say; however, when you recall the early church you guarantee that by doing everything the way it was done then, miracles will take place again. That is also if God wills; do not guarantee that Mr Chan, do not take it for granted, that is also up to God. Guaranteeing or taking for granted is also of the present American "church", not of the early church. The Scriptures do not guarantee anything, but everything is up to God.

I know this is an old comment, but two years ago I was incarcerated in Michigan. I got out and was going to many churches looking for something specific, but I had no idea what it was until the Lord revealed what the Church really was. It was the Ekklesia, the called out ones! The Lord caused my path to cross with a brother and sister involved in the beginning stages of this in Grand Rapids/west Michigan. I began gathering with them in their homes and we watched this documentary the first time. I knew in my heart this was the specific “something”. It has been almost a year of gathering in this way, loving intentionally, trying to reach all of Grand Rapids and west Michigan with the Good News of Jesus Christ. There have been many ups and downs and learning curves as we have had to unlearn many things that were wrongly passed on to us by mega churches and prosperity preachers. To seek the scriptures about how to live and follow Him and then to just do it has been the greatest blessing to witness. Testimonies seem to happen daily, even during this crazy time of pandemic, and it is only the Lord. It’s not about the few doing many things but about the many doing a few things for the glory of God. We are uneducated and untrained men and women, working our jobs and being faithful to follow Jesus, loving God, loving one another, and loving our neighbors as He commanded. Anybody in Michigan seeking to learn more can message me! We want to help equip you for the ministry we’ve all been given and to see your community flourish and be transformed because they know Jesus! Love you all!

Would i find men there that gave themselves titles? Would there be any Diotrephese like men who love to have preeminence? Would i find calvinism rooted still in their minds? Just gathering in a home doesn't make you more spiritual rather it is to provide an atmosphere where the Spirit of God can flow naturally without the baggage of a performance. Gathering around Christ is a revelation of God that Christ is mediating himself through the member and we experience this life of Jesus in our midst.

Please can anyone tell me about We are Church is in Toronto, Canada? This is really needed here. Now I'm starting to understand why I've had this pull towards this man Francis and his ministry. There's just this uncommon authenticity and desire for more of God! I thank God for what the Holy Spirit is pouring in you and through you into others. Someone kindly help me with info and details on how and where this is in Toronto or if it's not here yet, how we can bring it into Toronto. I went on the CI website and saw that you need to be a Church leader to attend get the Church lab training, unfortunately I'm not a leader, I got saved just over 2 years ago. Hoping to find some help out here. Thanks and God bless 😊🙏🏼

I have thought this for years. It’s extremely depressing, all alone- there is basically no church for most real Christians.

I feel exactly like you said-alone. Such a shame to have all these churches around and lots of ministry options, but even those who’re involved would still feel disconnected and lonely because there is no intentional genuine pursuit of friendship and love. I’m not even inspired to attend church services anymore....there is a huge void in my heart when I get in and get out without true fellowship. Oh and if you’re new to the community, forget it! It takes months and years to build trust and truly get connected. This entire traditional church practice might be one of the major reasons that Christianity is diminishing. I love the house church vision! I always questioned why the modern church format is drastically different than the NT and so powerless. This gives me hope. I gotta find one to join or start one myself.

Is there anything like this in Tallahassee, Florida? As a new follower of Christ I have been searching for something like this.

Invite people to your house and just do it. That's all it is. Don't ask "how do you start this?" Just start it!

I believe it starts with listening prayer! It is the work of the Holy Spirit and boldness to trust what he tells you! He will bring neighbors he will give words in the hour! He will make himself known!
