The Necessity of Preachers Within House Churches

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season;
reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
–2 Timothy 4:2 (KJV)–

In those days came John the Baptist, 
preaching in the wilderness of Judaea.
–Matthew 3:2 (KJV)–

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say,
Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
–Matthew 4:17 (KJV)–
