Nope.
Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
Matthew 8:20
It appears His headquarters were in Peter's home in Capernaum, as this is referred to as "His own city." (Matthew 9:1)
"A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. So many gathered that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them."
Mark 2:1-2
What is believed to be the site of the home has been located in the ruins of Capernaum and a Catholic church was built over the site, but the ruins of the home remain.

Nope. He said that the foxes have holes and the birds have nests, but the Son of God has not a place to lay His head... meaning that HE stayed with people as He traveled about.
The term "God's house" refers to the church... or, His people.

I found this hope that this helps. God bless
John 1:37-39
37. And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38. Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
39. He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

Yes, you ARE talking about the church.
"The House of God"--which any pastor
or televangelist speaks of--is just another
name for (a) church.
How is it that you wouldn't know this? Even
non-believers know of this metaphor.

Why are you listening to him? He has no clue to what 'Gods' house is. Yahshua did not own a house, and even though He had rights as firstborn to his father Joseph's inheritance, He gave it to James, His brother.
'The son of man has no where to lay his head.'

Jesus said:
John 14:2
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

I dunno where Mr. Dollar is getting his information from, but Jesus said specifically that He did not have a place to lay His head...
