These dictionary definitions accurately describe what we all have come to know, love, and cherish as the "CHURCH" that we attend. But once again, this is not what Jesus said He would build! This is what we have built! Jesus did not say, upon this rock I will build my "Kuriakon Oikos"....the Lord's House. He said, "I will build my EKKLESIA." So what does, EKKLESIA actually mean? Stay tuned to this Blog and we will discover together what Jesus said He would build. By the time this study is over, we may want to develop some new pictures in our mind.
