Ekklesia "The Unwoke Church"

Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!

The year of our Lord 2024 is upon us. Which brings us to several questions. Is everything that happens in our society set in stone? Does God's plan waver or is it decreed forever? Do our actions affect what happens to our nation or is it all part of God's plan regardless of what we do? Let's take a look at what scriptures says and let us believe Jesus is still on the throne. Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

Finishing The Book of 2 Corinthians 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 is be saved but she has not gone through transformation yet. In this section we will find Paul defending his ministry and speaking out against false prophets! It will be an interesting study. 2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

Why do we celebrate Jesus' birth? What is the significance of the incarnation? How did this celebration become the most popular holiday in the world? We will answer these questions and more. We will have a wonder guest worship leader, a kid's presentation, a Christmas potluck, and a Christmas giveaway during fellowship time. What a wonderful time we will have. And one last thing, God's presence has been showing up at church lately and people are being saved, healed, and delivered so expect Jesus to be there. Isaiah 9:6-7 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Malachi 3:10 ESV Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.

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. 2 Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.

Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 5:8-10 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad

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!’

This is part 8 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 Jesus' ressuection and the ressurection of the dead. 1 Corinthians 15:25-26 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

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.

This is part 6 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 worship, 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.

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.

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.

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.
