Ekklesia "The Unwoke Church"

2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

Matthew 20:26-28 But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

2 Corinthians is the 4th letter Paul wrote to the church in Corinth. It is a teaching on the church that rejected his apostleship. In it Paul shows the cosmopolitan church that she might be saved but she has not gone through transformation yet. Paul shows the relationship of suffering and the power of the Holy Spirit. He teaches the city church about how endurance through trials is Christ-like behavior and he gives the concept of repentance producing holiness. Kind of like how many Christians never admit they're wrong only to show that they never produced humility. Join us and see how the Ekklesia in Corinth humbled herself and reconciled with Paul, who loved the church.

What is the biggest problem in the Patriot community? Is it disinformation? Is it infiltrators? Is it the disunity? No. It is the unsaved believer. Many people on the right consider themselves Christian, neverthless, they don't know the Gospel (not just the right words but by holy living) , they don't share the Gospel, and they are affraid of death. Those three things in opposite are the hallmarks of a true Christian. Let's take a look at what the Bible says and re-adjust our lives according to what God says. Let us recognize the people around us that are falsely believing they are safe when that's the furthest thing from the truth. Let us love our neighbor by showing them the truth. Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

1 Peter 5:1-5 So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Romans 12:9-13 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

Matthew 10:7-8 And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

Romans 15:18-19 For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed, by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God—so that from Jerusalem and all the way around to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ;

This is part 5 of studying Paul's letters to the church in Corinth. That city is much like modern day New York City or Los Angeles. Filled with culture, wealth, and many pagan practices. Let's take a look at the next section of the epistle that talks about men and women's head coverings, the Lord's supper, spiritual gifts, tongues, and the way of love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

2 Timothy 4:5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

1 Corinthians 8:9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak.

This is part 2 of studying Paul's letters to the church in Corinth. That city is much like modern day New York City or Los Angeles. Filled with culture, wealth, and many pagan practices. Let's take a look at the next section of the epistle that talks about singleness, marriage, divorce, and widows. 1 Corinthians 7:10-14 To the married I give this command—not I, but the Lord—a wife is not to leave her husband. But if she does leave, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband—and a husband is not to divorce his wife. But I (not the Lord) say to the rest: If any brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. Also, if any woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce her husband. For the unbelieving husband is made holy by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy by the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is they are holy.

A People of Virtue: The Cornerstone of American Exceptionalism Psalm 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!

Malachi 4:6 He will turn the hearts of the fathers back to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and strike the land with complete destruction.”

1 Corinthians 1-6 The city of Corinth was a economical powerhouse, a center for art, and culture. Much like modern day Los Angeles or New York. We will look at the Apostle Paul's work there. In this study we will look at how Paul addressed problems within the church and how the gospel will remedy it. The first half of 1 Corinthians will study what God says about divisions in the church and sexual conduct. This is the basis for a healthy church community within a region filled with a culture that goes against the culture of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

Jon Matthews Teaches On Matthew 17:20 He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”

Matthew 10:15 Truly, I say to you, will be more bearable on the day of judgment for land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

Psalm 19:1-2 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.

Philippians 3:10-11 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

1 Peter 3:15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,

Ephesians 4:11-14 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.

Romans 7:6 But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

Luke 14:27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
