Bible Note: I could venture a guess as to how a group should do such a thing, based on the Spirit of God within me and in combination with my knowledge of the Word of God, I am going to guess that if that 900 member church were to meet in homes of smaller groups based on location and there partake of the Lord's Supper and fellowship around a meal and at that time encourage prayer, sharing and some public reading of scripture and the exercise of spiritual gifts as the Spirit willed there would be a great edification and spiritual renewal in their midst. That is one idea, and one that I would have faith for as I see the Word in context. (In addition to meeting together at the larger facility not in place of that.) |
