House Church

Is the goal of Christianity to build more and bigger church buildings to attract more “church-goers? Or for pastors to gain more followers who sit passively, week after week, listening to their sermons? Or is the goal for the church to make disciples ( locally and among the nations) so that Christ’s kingdom will spread throughout the whole earth? What model do we see in the New Testament that gives the blueprint for doing that?

David was not allowed to build the temple, but Yahweh told him that he would build a house for him. David was a man of war and had blood on his hands, so he was not qualified to build the temple. Solomon was allowed to build the temple and the house of David, but he was warned about keeping his heart right and being a man of integrity like his father before him. Neither of them was qualified to build the Father's house because that responsibility was reserved for Yahshua the Messiah.
