The CHURCH - Sermon Series
“Church” is the translation of the Greek term ekklesia, and is used in the New Testament to identify the community of believers in Jesus Christ. It literally means “assembly,” “congregation,” or “meeting.” A similar term was used in the Old Testament referring to experiences such as “the day of the assembly,” “the Lord’s congregation,” or “meeting before the Lord.”
Thus, when Jesus declares: “I will build my church” (Mt 16:18), it did not come as something unfamiliar to the common listener. Shortly after, in the New Testament, the word is confined strictly to refer to the congregation of believers in Jesus Christ.
In this series we explore the different aspects of being that as seen in the new testament.
The Church Awakened
Pastor Kephuos Ndinywa
Today, we will look at what it means for us as a Church to be awakened to the destiny that God has for us, in His purpose and promises. One of the first traits that stands out about the early Church is that they knew their purpose.
The Church Multiplies
Pastor Andrew Were
The Church in the book of Acts had no manual on what to do, but they began to fulfill the call that Christ had for them. They prayed and discipled. They served and were great witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus. Beyond all that, one thing is very clear about the Church in Acts, and that is that they MULTIPLIED.
The Church That Serves
Pastor Mike Barongo
Matt 20:25-28
“… Whoever wants to be your leader must be your servant. Whoever wants to be first must serve the rest of you like a slave. Do as I did: The Son of Man did not come for people to serve him. He came to serve others and to give his life to save many people.”
The Church is called to serve.
iDisciple
Pastor Moses Nsubuga
The call to be the church comes with an expectation that we are all an active part of the Body of Christ, fulfilling his call to us. The church in Acts is our model of what that should look like. We see that they took personal responsibility, were devoted to prayer, constantly worshiped, and were committed to making disciples.
The Power Of Prayer
Pastor Kephous Ndinywa
One of the outstanding characteristics of the Church in Acts is their dedication to prayer. Before they knew what attending a Church was, they were the Church in action. As the Church we are called not just to pray IN the church, but to pray AS the Church

I Am The Church
