Commentators consistently highlight that Aquila and Priscilla hosted a church in their home. This was a common and vital practice for the early believers who often met where they could. Scholars like John Calvin see this as a 'magnificent praise,' suggesting that every Christian family should strive to be a 'little church'—a center of worship, prayer, and fellowship.
