How did you get this on home page in the first place? Maybe you put static page as home page?

 

[Jayzzy]

yes static page but now as the list is big so im going to remove the static page and make normal , but the problem is each post is showing the whole content of it on first page

You can add <!-- more --> tag in each post. After content you want to show, add <!--more--> tag , and rest of the post content. Than when home page loads, it will show only text before this tag , on home page.
You have some plugins to make it easier, you can search for it.
