1Pe 5:1 Elders who are among you, I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and of the glory about to be revealed a partaker,

1Pe 5:2 feed the flock of God that is among you, overseeing not constrainedly, but willingly, neither for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind,

1Pe 5:3 neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but patterns becoming of the flock,

@livingajourney thank we are not out of step and believe in leadership just not the kind you find in the institution :) certainly not professionals..only servant leaders not the Diotrapheis kind.

Praise the Lord that the message is still being seen on youtube. Brothers and sisters let us arise from organized religion in bondage and return to Christ as our ONLY head and everyone members of his body functioning together as fellow priests, and heirs of the kingdom of

God...

The Lord calls us to fellowship in the bond of love. Where is the best place to do such? In the intimacy and openess of a group who may share free as the Spirit leads. This is not RADICAL it is authentic Christianity.

This is what the institutional church is dead set against, upsetting the power structure, dividing the body from one another (no open sharing) closing the mouth of Christ amongst his people (one man show) adherance to Old Testament Tithing which puts them under a curse. Gal.3:10 We are to be ministers of the New Covenant not the letter, the letter kills but the spirit gives life. 2 Cor.3:5,6

“How did this man get such learning without having been taught?”

Jesus said, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me. Anyone who does the will of God will find out if my teaching comes from God or not. Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him. Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”

[HolySpiritSentMe]

They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father. So YahShua said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me. “If YahWeh God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from YahWeh. I have not come on my own; YahWeh sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Whoever belongs to YahWeh God hears what YahWeh says.

Bravo! I love these 6-Videos, So much so I will make two Comments...See Both. Christians only know in Part because the Church Killed the guy you call Jesus because He was Waking the Sheeple up of the Atrocity of the Churches. He, YahShua was trying to WAKE the SHEEPLE up! And He was Killed by the Church for doing so! Its not about Jesus, Its about God the Creator, Sustainer & Giver of ALL Life.

“You do not know me or my Father,” YahShua replied.

About home church I love it and I think its very important , that children are here and they can participate as well! That is very, very good. Much better then sunday school in churches where kids have some programs and are bored there.

God bless you all! I pray for something like that in my place.

Also one must understand that the words, Overseers (Bishop), Elders, Shepherds (pastors) interchangeably. They are simply synonymous terms for the same function, just different words describing varying aspects of leadership and used of the same people.

[livingajourney]

I have Beresford's book on "biblical Church". It was recommended to me by a pastor friend of mine who has long questioned the institutionalized Church. When you read the book Job systematically goes through Biblical Church history, he illustrates how the Church fathers who were coming against a lot of gnostic teaching at the time instituted the a Church head as Bishop which was considered authoritative and the last word on how to practice Church. I advice to read the book and then all is clear.

@tjg2008 There have ALWAYS been house churches e.g. Calvary Chapel.

There are no formulae EXCEPT sound Biblical exegesis. The Apostles witnessed the life, death and resurrection of Christ; they had the very best teaching. We CANNOT go back to that. Groups must have Biblically sound teachers.

CULTS also began this way. Like these videos they waited on The Holy Spirit to lead them. Without a Biblical method of interpretation, many false spirits will turn up as an ‘angel of light’.
