Our final meeting of One Ekklesia bible study was focused on glory. Jesus spoke these words to his Father in John 17:22 “I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one.” These words are enough to knock the wind out of every believer in Jesus Christ. …
In week seven of One Ekklesia we focused on elevating our thoughts on what is Truth. There are many facts to be discovered in this world, but there is only one truth and the truth is Jesus Christ. Jesus called himself the way, the truth and the life. He is the word who became flesh. …
We began week six of One Ekklesia noting how everything in our relationship with God hinges on whether we believe him. Not only believing who he is but what he says. We focused on the reality of receiving eternal life – the Father’s name – and being born of God. The concept of eternal life …
We started Week Five of One Ekklesia bible study with a quote from page 18: “The building up of the assembly occurs when millions of distinctively individual believers become one just as the Father and the Son are one.” We spoke about how this works practically by a change of mind and noted these scriptures: …
Week four of One Ekklesia bible study was anther powerful week. Although we only covered two pages of the book, they were potent pages. We looked at a very profound section of scripture which took place during Jesus’ last hours with his disciples: the Gospel of John Chapters 13 through 17. We discovered that during …

We learned that the word Jesus spoke in Matthew 16:18 and 18:16 to identify what he would build is Ekklesia – which literally means a called-out assembly. Six hundred years before Jesus walked this earth the …
How delightful it was to gather around the table again and together look at God’s Eternal Purpose in Christ. We were astounded (again!) at the wonder of God. “Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.” Ephesians 1:4 This is …

The Life of God in every believer in Jesus Christ is a gushing river. It is not stagnant. Going to a weekly church service and only receiving does not keep the river moving. The Living Water we receive must be flowing through us, otherwise it will grow stale. It comes out or flows through us …
The Lord Jesus Christ will never leave us or forsake us. Nothing can separate us from Him. He is love and we are enveloped in Him. God does not just carry us at certain difficult times in our life. He carries us every moment from our first step of faith. In God’s mysterious way He …
