Meaning of the word- church
ekklesia- gathering of the called out ones…What are we called out from?
This word was used to describe political gatherings… Jesus re-claimed the word.
We take culture and redeem (re-frame) it.
Who do you say I am- Church begins with an understanding of who Jesus is. The biggest commonality we have.
Simon to Peter- Simon means listener… Peter means “rock”
Church is the place to live out your new identity.
On this rock, build My church- on the back of others- Jesus is building from the foundation up…
Gates of Hades- More to do with the place of death-
Gates of Hades used in Isaiah- literally means the grave…
The grave will not overcome us- Death has been defeated…
They will overcome- they will not love their life even unto death. When Christians are martyred, the church grows and springs up.
Keys of the Kingdom-
Keys denote authority- we have authority to do what?
Bind and loose- Forbidding and allowing.
Peter- petros rock- petra
Little rock- we all together are petra-
We have the power, the authority.
Crazy Authority…
Why commit to church?
Protection- Jesus has authority, which he relegates to the church.
Influence- the church has authority.
It’s what Jesus is doing… He isn’t converting people, He is perfecting His bride.
We need each other- One body Many parts…
