4. One of the most important
decisions you’ll ever make is
what church you will call
home.

5. The Church was born
as a movement.
It’s still moving.

7. Hebrew Greek Aramaic

8. MATTHEW 16:17
17 "I also say to you that you are
Peter, and upon this rock I will
build My church; and the gates
of Hades will not overpower it.”

9. • a gathering of citizens called
out from their homes into
some public place, an
assembly, who came around
one belief:
CHURCH
Greek: “ekklesia”
“called-out ones”

10. MATTHEW 16:17
17 "I also say to you that you are
Peter, and upon this rock I will
build My ekklesia; and the
gates of Hades will not
overpower it.”

12. • Comes from an entirely
different Greek term meaning
“of the Lord” picked up and
adapted by the Goths, an
East Germanic Tribe, around
300 AD.
CHURCH
English: “kirche”
“Lord’s house”

13. • The church became a place,
rather than a movement or
gathering.
• It was tamed. Localized.
Controlled by the people who
controlled the building.
CHURCH
English: “kirche”
“Lord’s house”

14. William
Tyndale
1494-1536
“Father of the
English Bible”
• translated
and published
the Bible in
English from
the original
Greek and
Hebrew texts.

15. "Let it not make thee despair,
neither yet discourage thee, O
reader, that it is forbidden thee in
pain of life and goods, or that it is
made breaking of the king's
peace, or treason unto his
highness, to read the Word of thy
soul's health—for if God be on our
side, what matter make it who be
against us, be they bishops,
cardinals, popes.“
William Tyndale
1494-1536

16. King James
1566-1625
“King James
Version” 1604-
1611
Edict to
Translators No. 3
“The old
ecclesiastical words
to be kept; as the
word church, not to
be translated
congregation, &c.”

17. One of the things that drove
the church leaders of his day
“crazy” was that he translated
ekklesia as “congregation”
rather than “church,”
moving the focus from a
building to the people.

18. MATTHEW 16:17
17 And I saye
also vnto the
yt thou arte
Peter: and
apon this
rocke I wyll
bylde my
congregacion.
And the gates
of hell shall not
prevayle
ageynst it.

20. ACTS 1:6-8
6 Then they gathered around
him and asked him, “Lord, are
you at this time going to
restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them: “It is not for
you to know the times or dates
the Father has set by his own
authority.

21. ACTS 1:6-8
8 But you will receive power
when the Holy Spirit comes on
you; and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem, and in
all Judea and Samaria, and to
the ends of the earth.”

22. Jesus’ Church
[congregation/people] is built
upon him; a community of
free men, gathered together
by a call and divine purpose,
empowered by the work of
the Holy Spirit.

23. Day of Pentecost

24. There in Jerusalem, where
people gathered from many
lands for the festival, the new
community experienced the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit,
described as tongues of fire
settling on their heads and
enabling them to speak the
good news of Jesus in all the
languages on earth (Acts 2:4).

25. It was an experience of
empowerment which
transformed a fearful and
somewhat confused group of
disciples into apostles, those
who literally are “sent” to give
testimony to their faith.

26. Peter Preach

27. Jesus dies for sin.
Jesus rises for sinners.
Jesus ascends into heaven.
Jesus drops the presence and
the power of God and the
person of the Holy Spirit.

28. When the Holy Spirit
shows up, the church springs
into being: people are born
again and they become,
together, the people of God.
His ekklesia.
His called-out ones.
His congregation.
His body.

34. You can be a Christian
by yourself,
but you cannot be the church
by yourself.

35. “Christianity began in Palestine as a
fellowship (a relationship), and then
moved to Greece and became a
philosophy (way to think).
Afterward, it moved on to Rome
and became an institution (a place
you go) and then to Europe where it
became a culture (a way of life).
Finally it settled in America where it
has become an enterprise (a
business).”
- Rev. Sam Pascoe
