Podcasts about ekklesia

In the Kingdom, keys represent specific, timely, and divine revelations with which the Ekklesia has been given authority to bind and loose. This binding and loosing happens primarily through prayer, but not as a passive request, but a spiritual ruling issued from heaven's court. That's why Jesus taught us to pray: “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” This prayer is more than words—it is an alignment of earth with heaven. When we pray like this, we are agreeing with God's verdict and releasing His ruling into earthly situations.

In our new series ‘Ekklesia,' Jeff starts by reading the incredible words of Christ when He said: “I will build my church and the powers of hell will not conquer it.” The original idea of ‘church' started with God (not man) and any gathering we have today is both grounded in His plan and built upon millions before us. Listen in as we explore the beauty of the historic church and what it means for us today.

Jesús reveló el secreto de la felicidad: servir con humildad, no buscar estatus; hay más dicha en dar que en recibir. Servir nace del altruismo, no del ego: considerar a otros primero y seguir el ejemplo de Jesús que lavó los pies. Dios dio dones a cada uno para usarlos en la comunidad; cuando todos sirven, el cuerpo crece sano y lleno de amor.

Matthew 16:18

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 55 Gary discusses the myth of "replacement theology." Critics claim that certain Christians are claiming that the Church "replaces" Israel in God's plan for the world. This is wrong historically, logically, and most importantly, theologically. Gary explains why in great depth with actual Bible passages.

¿Qué es la IGLESIA? No es un edificio... ¡Es un llamado! | Descubre el oro que Dios puso en ti La palabra "Ekklesia" significa mucho más que "iglesia": es un llamado hacia fuera de nosotros mismos, para vivir en comunidad, servir a otros y reflejar a Cristo en cada parte de nuestra vida. Si usamos los dones solo para nosotros, los estamos enterrando. ¡Dios depositó oro en vasos de barro! ¿Estás dispuesto a descubrirlo, desarrollarlo y darlo? En este mensaje aprenderás: Cómo descubrir tus dones en intimidad, comunidad y necesidad. Por qué la madurez espiritual no es perfección, sino autenticidad y obediencia. Qué significa dar fruto y edificar el cuerpo de Cristo. Cómo romper con el egoísmo, la autosuficiencia y la cultura de la inmediatez. “Pero tenemos este tesoro en vasos de barro…” – 2 Corintios 4:7 “...para que habite entre ellos JAH Dios.” – Salmo 68:18 “Si el grano no muere, queda solo… pero si muere, lleva mucho fruto.” – Juan 12:24 No fuiste creado para quedarte solo. Fuiste llamado a servir, crecer y edificar. ¡Descubre el oro que Dios puso en ti y entrégalo para Su gloria! #Iglesia #Ekklesia #DonesEspirituales #CuerpoDeCristo #LlamadoDeDios #MadurezEspiritual #Servicio #DevocionalCristiano

La generosidad demuestra nuestra fe y siembra esperanza en lo que Dios está construyendo. Tu aporte toca vidas reales: acerca a Jesús, sana corazones y restaura familias. No es obligación sino privilegio: decide dar con alegría y da un paso concreto esta semana.

This is what the cross did for us. Jesus has already defeated the enemy, disarmed every power, and given us authority: “It is finished” (Jn 19:30). “I give you authority over all the power of the enemy” (Luke 10:19) You are not a prisoner but an ambassador of a victorious King. Rise tall, walk in that truth, and become God's instrument to set others free.

La esperanza es el ingrediente esencial de la fe, sin ella la vida pierde dirección y propósito. La Biblia nos recuerda que la esperanza es un ancla firme para el alma, capaz de sostenernos aun en medio de la adversidad. Dios quiere restaurar nuestra esperanza para avanzar con fe, acción y confianza en que lo mejor está por venir. 

So, if Jesus envisioned a governing assembly, we must abandon anything less. It's time to live out our true calling—to become the ekklesia that the gates of hell cannot withstand. We are not here to survive. We are here to prevail. So let's drop anything less than what Jesus called us to be. He gave us keys, not pews. He commissioned ambassadors, not spectators. It's time to rise as the governing body He intended—the ekklesia that the gates of hell cannot withstand.

A veces sentimos que estamos siendo quebrantados… pero no es destrucción, es refinación. Como David, Dios usa nuestras crisis para formar carácter y transformar el corazón. En manos del Maestro, tu pasado no te descalifica: es materia prima para tu propósito.

The last sermon series from Pastor Brandon will present his "last words" to Calvary Chapel Twin Peaks. These last words will put in one place his core teachings.

En medio de la crisis, la adoración nos conecta con Dios, nos da dirección antes del problema, estabilidad durante la tormenta y paz después de la victoria. No es solo un acto espiritual, sino una estrategia para no dejarnos dominar por las emociones ni el miedo. Adorar es confiar: dejar que Dios pelee nuestras batallas y darle la gloria cuando salimos del otro lado.

Pastor Chuck Maher shares the role of baptism in the early Church and its importance in our faith walk today.

La responsabilidad del adorador es poner a Dios en el centro, adorándole con un corazón preparado, oración, y entrega. No se trata de recibir, sino de traer una ofrenda espiritual con esfuerzo y sinceridad. La adoración debe ser intencional, genuina y no depender de circunstancias externas.

Ephesians 4:11 There is a plague today that is infesting the Western Evangelical Church and greatly harming the Ekklesia.  It's this notion of individualism — that I can be a dismembered member of Christ's Body and still somehow function in ministry.  You'll search the pages of the New Testament in vain to find such a pattern!  In every place you see ministry, you will see members connected to the Body!!   The gifts are given to the BODY — a local assembly of committed individuals/believers.  Different gifts are given to different members within that local assembly for the profit of the whole BODY.  This whole idea that one can be dismembered from a local assembly and yet be serving in “ministry” is a farce, and nowhere is this travesty more seen than in the field of evangelism!!

Have you ever left a church service feeling like something was missing? You heard a nice message and sang some songs, but on the drive home, you're left wondering, "Is this all there is?" Today, we're tearing down the modern, passive model of church and rediscovering God's design for His Ekklesia—the called-out assembly. It was never meant to be a social club for comfort, but a spiritual armory and command center for a war we've forgotten we are fighting.Key Takeaways:The Problem with Passive Faith: Many modern church gatherings have unintentionally trained believers to be a passive audience, consuming a religious product rather than being equipped as spiritual warriors.The Battleship vs. The Cruise Ship: We must shift our perspective from the "cruise ship" model (focused on comfort and entertainment) to the "battleship" model (focused on readiness, duty, and spiritual warfare).The Early Church Model: The early church in the book of Acts met "from house to house" (Acts 2:46), not as a retreat from the world, but as a strategic base to launch into it.The Four Pillars of Spiritual Combat Training (Acts 2:42):Apostles' Doctrine: Strategic understanding of the King and His Kingdom.Fellowship (Koinonia): Forging unbreakable unit cohesion and bearing one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2).Breaking of Bread: A covenant renewal and a declaration of allegiance to Christ.The Prayers: Direct communication with headquarters, praying for boldness and strategic objectives (Acts 4:29).The Ultimate Purpose: The gathering is meant to result in sending. As in Acts 13:2, the Holy Spirit gives direct, actionable commands to the body of believers.Four Practical Marching Orders:Radically change your mindset from being served to being equipped.Seek the Acts 13 model in small, focused groups.Practice being an active contributor in every gathering.Debrief with other believers to ensure the mission translates to action.Call to Action:If this episode stirred something in your spirit, please share it!

Edén representa el lugar de origen del ser humano: la presencia de Dios. Fuimos creados para vivir conectados a Él, y solo desde esa conexión podemos cumplir nuestro propósito. A través de la adoración, generamos nuevamente ese Edén perdido: un momento, en un lugar, donde la presencia de Dios abre una puerta en el cielo.

ECHO es una nueva serie sobre adoración auténtica: no se trata de cantar, sino de vivir una vida que honra a Dios. Todos somos adoradores por naturaleza; la pregunta es si estamos adorando lo correcto. Cuando adoramos al Padre en espíritu y verdad, nos convertimos en un eco de su grandeza en la Tierra.

En tiempos de incertidumbre, muchas decisiones apresuradas nacen del afán por hallar paz, pero terminan empeorando la situación. Dios no quiere que huyas de la tierra en la que estás, sino que la sanes con fe, palabra y propósito. Tú eres la sal que puede transformar lo estéril en fructífero; ¡hay esperanza y propósito justo donde estás! ✨
