Let’s talk about the word “Ekklesia” as referenced in Matthew 16:18, where Jesus says, “I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
The greek word used here is “Ekklesia~ An assembly a gathering, a movement. A group of people who are committed to a specific movement or mission.”
When we envision church today, we picture showing up to a building with the gathering of believers ready to sit and listen to the word by a pastor, preacher, minister … Etc, say a few hellos then make our way home. But that does not align with Jesus’ purpose or his vision.

We live in a world where proclaiming to be a Christian is met with disdain. Why do you think that is? Well let’s start with the reasons behind it?

What does it mean to be constant in Prayer.
Rom 12:12, Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; constant in prayer;
The word “constant” here doesn’t mean that every minute you are praying. It means persist in prayer. Persevere in it. Stay at it. Be devoted to it. Don’t give up or slack off. Be habitual.
It’s the opposite of random, occasional or sporadic. In other words, Paul is calling all Christians to make prayer a regular, habitual, recurring, disciplined part of your life.
We are constant at eating and sleeping, but it doesn’t mean that we are doing those things at every minute. So we treat prayer the same way you. Don’t be hit and miss about it. Don’t assume it will fill in the cracks of other things. Dealing with God in prayer deserves more than treating him as a 911. Read more…
