Imagine walking into a small bakery, expecting nothing more than the usual pastries, but instead, you feel something deeper - an atmosphere of peace, joy, and love that captivates your soul.

What is it about this bakery that makes people linger? It's not just the food - it's the presence of something divine.

How can we, as believers, live out our role as the Ekklesia - God's called-out ones - beyond the walls of a church building, bringing the power and principles of heaven into every sphere of life?

In this episode, we explore what it means to live as Ekklesia - God's legislative assembly on earth - and how ordinary people and places, like a humble bakery, can become gateways to heaven's influence.

1. The Ekklesia is not confined to a building or Sunday service: It is a 24/7 movement of believers called to bring heaven to earth.
2. We are participationists in God's grand story: Our role is to be available and active in our communities, workplaces, and homes, shaping society according to God's kingdom.
3. The power of agreement and unity is foundational: When two or more gather in Christ's name, they have the authority to legislate heaven’s realities on earth.
4. Spiritual warfare is real, but victory is assured: When we understand our identity in Christ, we can operate from a place of guaranteed victory rather than fear.
5. Start small but with purpose: Whether it's in your family, workplace, or community, begin by taking responsibility for the area God has placed you in.

1. "We are participationists in God's grand story. Our job? To be available, ready for His move at any time."
2. "You don't need a big church or special building to be Ekklesia. Two believers in agreement can change the spiritual atmosphere."
3. "The kingdom of God is fully relational - it operates through love, and only through love can we transform the world."
