your congregation

Philemon 1:1-3 (JDV)

Philemon 1:1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and brother Timothy: To Philemon, our cared for co-laborer,
Philemon 1:2 and to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the congregation that meets in your home.
Philemon 1:3 Favor to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Philemon apparently had a congregation that met in his house regularly. They may have met elsewhere as well. But Philemon’s faith was such that he had opened his house for Christians to gather there, to learn the word there, to worship there.

Is your home dedicated to the Lord and his people? God gave you that home for a reason. You are not the reason.
