Fellowship


...By common consent they were all meeting at Solomon's Portico (i.e. an open, covered walkway located in a very public area). (Acts 5:12bNET)... And every day both in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus was the Christ...(Acts 5:42NET)... Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church.... What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church. (1 Corinthians 14:12; 26 NIV)

So how did we get so restricted, sitting still, behind four walls, in only one type of building?

Note: We have a great deal of material on our website that would be useful for small groups. Below are two other outside websites who offer Bible studies for small groups.  Of course, we have not read all of these Bible studies. The reader is encouraged to discern from him/herself by the basic principles of Biblical interpretation.
