What is the church and how does Jesus and the New Testament writers define it? In this opening message of the new teaching series, The Church Imagined, we are reminded that the Church is neither a business nor a social institution, rather the  ekklesia or the people of God who have been called out by Christ and set apart for His purposes.This sermon series will explore the New Testament's rich images and illustrations of the church, which help us imagine what Jesus intended when He said, “I will build MY church” (Matthew 16:18). Beginning with the foundational picture of the church as the “called-out ones,” we see that the church belongs to Christ and is both built and empowered by Him through the Holy Spirit.As the called out ones, followers of Christ are called to live distinct from the world without compromise, grounded in truth, unity, and holiness, as we learn to be the church Jesus is forming for His glory and the world's good.

We have much to look forward to in 2026 as all of Heaven continues to work with the Ekklesia here on earth to reveal the enemy and all of his evil, wicked lies and plans of destruction. We are in a season of transition from the old ways to the new thing God is doing - and it's important for us to keep our eyes 'FIXED' on Jesus as He continues to 'FIX' the many things that are broken in our society. God has great plans in store for us - many changes are going to take place as we move forward. Revival is coming to our land - praise the Lord! In 2026 - may we all 'FIX' our eyes on Jesus, and may His glory fall from Heaven as His blessings pour out over us. Amen!
