For generations, we have been taught that Jesus promised to build His “church“ in Matthew 16:18, so we've dutifully tried to build the Church with Him. But there's a big problem: that's not the word He used. Instead, He announced something far more potent: “I will build My Ekklesia!” A motherlode of identity and mission separate Church and Ekklesia. If Jesus gave His disciples authority and keys to bind and loose, it means we have been put on offense, so why are we stuck on defense? We are built to soar in heavenly places with real authority in prayer. For hundreds of years, we have been the Church. Finally, let us become His ruling Ekklesia.
