Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. (1 Cor 15)
It is the preaching of the gospel by which we are saved, and also by which we stand in the faith.
Therefore, Scripture says we need to be hearing the gospel of the cross preached, not only to be saved, but also to stand.
That said, ministry begins in the home:
And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. (Deut 6)
Reading the Bible and ministering to our own family at home is lacking, when 'going to church' is considered the only place of ministry.
Ministers ought not just be exhorting the believers to pray and 'read their Bibles' at home, but also to minister to one another.
Unfortunately, the modern tradition of single-speaker services leads to a ministerial domination over the assembly. I believe 1 Cor 14 teaches differently on how to come together, so that any may have opportunity to stand and speak, so long as it is done decently and in order.
So, we neither forsake the assembling of ourselves together at one time in one place, but neither do we idolize it as the only place to be preached to.
Scripture says plainly we can come together for the worse, and not for the better, so staying home would be preferable to bad ministry. (1 Cor 11:17)
Even as our holiness and charity ought be with sober-mindedness, so should our ministering. (1 Tim 2:15)
