Christos Ekklesia

The first time the word “ekklesia” is used in scripture it is used by Jesus.  This Greek word, “ekklesia,” means “a group of people gathered or assembled for a specific purpose.”  This was the word Jesus chose to describe what His people would be called.  We would be called Ekklesia, translation: Church.  Not a building of mortar, wood, or block, but a gathering of people, assembled, called out for a specific purpose.  Furthermore, Jesus makes it clear that it is His Church.  In this series we are looking at four components of Christ’s Church:  People Committed, People Equipped, People Together, and People Empowered.
