Sunday Morning at the Movies | Part 2

Peace, Love, & Understanding

Did the apostles and the first disciples ever use anything but their own houses or open-air spaces to meet?
99.9% never. Ever wonder why? Everyone knows that the church building is not a feature of the primitive church, but a later development. It's one most people take for granted and do not question. But what if there are reasons beyond poverty, small numbers and simplicity that underlie the practices of the first Christians? What if those reasons are principles and wisdom that could still be applied the 21st century?
