The Church

Robbie and Crystal Patterson

Returning to Biblical Roots

The church today is returning to its biblical foundation with Christ as its head and believers as His body in the Earth. Jesus declared, "I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." 

Satan's true fear isn't your church attendance but rather you functioning as Christ's body, standing in the supreme authority He has been given over all the Earth.

The New Testament Greek word for church—"ekklesia"—appears approximately 120 times and literally means "the called out ones." What many don't realize is that this same word appears about 100 times in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament).

This understanding reveals that God's design has always been for His people to operate as a unified body under Christ's headship. As Jesus has been given all authority, we as His church are called to stand in that authority—not merely gathering in buildings, but actively representing His kingdom as His "called out ones" in every sphere of life. The church isn't just something we attend; it's who we are as Christ's empowered representatives on Earth.
