Because the modern expression of church has become more synonymous/concerned with corporate branding, consumer/market acquisition, demographics, and free-market commercial enterprise the original creation, empowerment, and expression of the church (as found in Acts 2) has been completely lost. The church is the mystical body (believers) of Jesus Christ and it has one mission and that is to "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" [Mark 16:15 KJV]. The mission isn't to expand a brand or an enterprise and call it a church. The mission is, as a believer, to tell everyone and everything about the good news concerning the sacrifice that Jesus made (the message), and to everyone that believes this message they shall be saved; and to everyone that does not believe this message shall be damned [Mark 16:16 KJV, emphasis added]. Ekklesia United is focused on carrying out the mission of delivering this message to everyone and everything through digital mediums, ecumenical unification, and live events. There is no need to build another church. The church was empowered, built, and sent back in Acts 2. Today, we are tasked with continuing in the exact same work that started then. Therefore, Ekklesia United is not another church, but rather an assembly of believers united in the mission of preaching/delivering the message, the gospel of Jesus Christ, to everyone and everything so they will be saved.
Join us in this series of The Year 5783. In this installment we compare and contrast the Gregorian and Hebrew calendars as an introduction to understanding the difference between "Resolutions" and "Seasons and Times." This is an enlightening journey designed to shift our thinking to produce greater results in our lives. In this season, we must recognize that God wants our attention because He's invested things in us that he wants poured out into the earth right now. Moreover, Hebrew/Jewish thought is slightly different than present day Christian thought even though present day Christian thought has its roots in Jewish/Hebrew thought. We explore this all of this installment of The Year 5783. Take a listen and share with others.For questions or comments email us at questions@ekklesiaunited.com.
There is a life of abundance that God has extended to His believers, but sometimes that abundance will lay dormant if we have a hyper-focus on simply worship. In this podcast installment we diver deeper into this premise as we look at several scriptures including John 10:10 and Genesis 3. Take a listen and share with others.
I would suggest to you that life is not an aimless, abstract path but rather a defined course. Join us as we define and explore two critical words, namely "Inspiration" and "Journey." There is a connection between these two words that gives us clues to the purpose and direction of our lives. Follow us along this path with this fresh new installment in our podcast library. It's hopeful! See you there.
This is a message of hope. Be inspired and move into purpose, with love.
What a mighty God we serve...A God who loves us and who is faithful who promised [Hebrews 10:23]. Join us in this podcast installment as God instructs our hearts and minds to prepare us for what He is about to do in our lives. You (and I) need to know that God is about to take us to a place (in our natural lives) that is full and rich, never to be entangled again with the yoke of bondage [Galatians 5:1]. But, before He takes us into this place that flows with milk and honey [Deuteronomy 11:9], He wants us to understand how we should conduct ourselves and remain humble in the midst of all He's doing for us. This is a MAGNIFICENT read through some critical scriptures found in Deuteronomy chapters 8 through 11. Please take the time to read, read, and re-read these scriptures with a very slow and methodical pace. As you read slowly, you'll see the conversation flowing with the cadence of the text causing you to see some revelatory information. Enjoy this installment, and I'm telling you He (God) is faithful who promised [Hebrews 10:23].
This is an important warning message for the masses. Please listen and heed.
There will likely be more to this installment...we'll see (how God leads us). But, here we take a look at how the Holy Spirit accompanies the believer in the execution of purpose. It's not about "feeling" the Holy Spirit; rather is more about "knowing" that the Holy Spirit is with you as you carry out God's mission/purpose. We also have to adjust our lexicon (or definition of terms) to understand what is truly meant when Mark 16:17 says "...these signs shall 'follow' them that believe..." (KJV). More to come. Enjoy!
In this riveting discussion, we illuminate that there is a reason and purpose for pain. Furthermore, pain has etymological roots and a connotation that goes beyond physical ailments, although that is pain too. Listen in to our discussion as we seek to help us all understand that pain leads to purpose, and that pain is also a sign of where we need to execute our earthly authority in order to effectuate positive change in the earth. This is an awesome conversation that you will enjoy! Please be sure to share this and other material from our library with your family and friends because it will answer innumerable questions that I know they have right now. Also (as bonus content), I make a reference to a teaching/training that I've been exposed to that will be beneficial to you. Please consume this additional information along with this podcast installment. You can find the training at the link below. Enjoy!Supplemental Teachinghttps://youtu.be/Pkh7CQrvJQI
Join us in this powerful exposition of appropriating God's word in our lives...If we can't lean on, trust, or believe that what He said is true, then we don't have anything available to us to stand on.

In this episode we discuss the central tenant of belief and what that means for you and me. Believing, in essence, is a life or death situation. So the question becomes, will you believe and gain life? Or will you not believe and gain death? The choice is yours; but if I can advise, choose life and believe. Will you believe?

The world is not returning to the normal we think it is. There are established norms in the divine creation of the world and the instability of family has resulted in the instability of the world.

The Hebrew letter Chet is an extremely complex letter with may different facets of truth. Join us as we dive deeper into the construction and spiritual infusion of this letter and see how it speaks to marriages, families, and balance both individually and in society.Correction(s):In this teaching I make a reference to what the year 5782 is referencing, meaning what is the point of origin (or when was year 1). I misspoke by saying that the Hebrew calendar is counting from the year when Christ was born. That is incorrect. The year 5782 is counting from the origin or creation of the world. It wasn't a point of interest for this discussion/podcast, but it is certainly good to know this for your reference. My apology for misspeaking. Here are some resource to speak further to this.https://www.calendar.com/blog/introduction-to-the-hebrew-calendar-12-facts-you-should-know/https://web.library.yale.edu/cataloging/hebraica/about-hebrew-calendar

What a power & authority you have as a believer in Jesus Christ. This installment of the series (walking down through the numbers 5782 and the associated Hebrew letters) is delving into a deeper understanding behind the spiritual infusion of the Hebrew letter Zayin which is associated with the number 7. Take some time to listen to what was lost when Adam transgressed in Genesis 3 and what has been restored - to believers - and referenced in Phillipians 4:13. You are super powerful, and you have the power and authority to do all things through Christ who has strengthened you.
Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) is a present day conversation taking place mainstream. Despite all the data and talking points and expert opinion, there is one answer to this seemingly complex problem. DEI is a heart issue. Institutions can make every provision necessary to align with the DEI movement, but if the hearts of individuals do not change there won't be progress. The true church is centered on changing hearts. A change in heart yields a change in thoughts, speech, and actions (including behaviors/lifestyles). This equates to changed lives for the greater good. Take a listen to this raw, unedited download related to an appropriate answer from the Church concerning DEI.
As a believer, it's important to develop and grow in the faith. Part of that development is understanding the roots of the faith and tracing those roots into present day to understand times and seasons.
