The basic structure for this is:

• Define what your main Events module will be (I assume the calendar on the separate page)
• Give this module a recognizable title
• Enter any events that you have in this Event module, set the default display for this calendar on Month
• Add an (extra) Events module to your homepage
• Do not enter any Events in this homepage module, but add a subcalendar to this module (can be specified in the settings), and select here your main Events calendar as subcalendar for this home page Events module
• Set the home page Events module to display in list mode (as default or only mode)

In addition you can manipulate the settings for both modules and display each the way you want.
