House Church Meeting – Edification
1 Corinthians 14
3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort. 
4 Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.
5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.
12 So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church.
17 You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified.
26 What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up. 
31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.


Equipping Meeting – for works of service
Ephesians 4:11-12
11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,
12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
