Why the name “Crowded House Church”?
The home (house) is the place where family reside and where people can truly see our lives. We desire to live open lives inviting people into our lives and into our homes! We have a saying at Crowded House Church, “invite people into your life before you invite them to church”. The gospel must come alive in our homes for it to truly impact our world.
The early church started in public places of worship but also grew rapidly through the church gathering in people’s homes. It’s often recorded that these homes got quite crowded as God added to the church and people eagerly gathered around God’s word.
In Acts 20:7-9, we see Paul stop off in Troas on his way to Jerusalem. Paul gathers with the saints for Sunday worship (the first recorded Sunday worship in Acts), they break bread (take communion), and he preaches the word until midnight (let none of us complain about long sermons again).
With a touch of humour, it’s recorded that Eutychus falls out of the 3rd-story window to his death. Presumably, the room was so full that he took up the only space available. Paul goes down, raises him from the dead, and then continues to preach until daybreak.
Paul gathered with the saints in someone’s home – let us gather as saints in each other’s homes.
Paul’s passion for teaching the word is met by their desire to hear the word taught, so Paul continues throughout the night – let us be equally eager for God’s truth.
Our humanity is displayed in Eutychus’s slumber, but God’s power is displayed in his resurrection – let us remember that we are human and weak, but God is strong and able.
They all enjoy a meal together the next morning, and when Paul departs, everyone is deeply encouraged in the Lord – let us live our lives to encourage one another in the Lord.
