JESUS IS BUILDING SOMETHING FARGREATER THAN A SUNDAY SERVICEFill in the blank: "Upon this rock I will build My ________?"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? If we are built to soar in heavenly places with real authority in prayer, then why does our mission often feel grounded on the launch pad? In Ekklesia Rising, you'll learn to soar with: The DNA of ekklesia: how revelation produces dominionThe "keys" Christ gives, and how to receive and use themThe divine design of mature masculine authority with fervent bridal loveThe role of the Divine Council in heaven and on earthThe inner constitution of contending, covenantal communitiesThe powerful symphony of agreementMake no mistake, Jesus will build His ekklesia. His Father's house will be a "House of Prayer for All Nations." For hundreds of years, we have been the church. Finally, let us become His ruling ekklesia.

Fullness is dullness. Hunger is passion.Sometimes we need a personal reboot. We need a "burning bush" encounter, one close enough to feel the heat. Life has a way of growing cluttered, feeling dull. Modern society is so full of stuff-busy schedules, buffet lines, gadgets-that we've forgotten the discipline of denial. We don't remember how to hunger, therefore we've forgotten how to be filled. Yet Jesus promised the opposite: if we hunger and thirst for righteousness, then we will experience fullness. And nothing rekindles the inner fire like fasting.Drawing inspiration from Psalm 40 and Isaiah 40, Consumed is written in simple, encouraging language, composed day-by-day during the author's own forty day fast.
