01 Why the Church? | Andrew Selley | This is Church

While Jesus is the means of our salvation, God’s plan has always involved the church (Ephesians 3: 10). Scripture shows that churches have different degrees of health, however - some are healthy, some sick, and some even dead. The early church (in Acts 2:42) is one of the strongest illustrations of a healthy church - a church that turned the ancient world upside down. What does God think about the church in our generation? Does she reflect His original plan? God is still looking for churches that will turn the world upside down, but this will only happen as we build our churches around what He likes rather than what we like. She is God’s church, not ours.

Equiping believers to minister Christ to the world. Believers having a revelation of who is Jesus to establish the government of the Kingdom.

[@andreboshoff7800]

Hi Andrew, will video 03 be posted on RUclips as well?

[@four12global]

Hi Andre, indeed - all 7 videos will be shared here over the course of the next few weeks. Trust that they'll encourage you!

[@MartinEngelbrecht-ey3rl]

I think we are confusing two issues, individual walk and walking with a fellowship of believers in a congregation. Firstly, individuals need to get connected with Jesus (deep understanding and revelation) and then secondly have believers around me who love Jesus which is the Ekklesia. Most of the Corporate Church was batting for pharmakeia (spirit of sorcery) during the pandemic. Corporate church obeyed and sold itself to please government which is under the control of the spirit of sorcery. Corporate church is clueless regarding the world principalities taking over the seven mountain. Your desire to have people joined to an organization is miss directed.

You are not dividing the scriptures right you mixing the scriptures , go by dispensecions. You know law and grace different dispensaciones . So I don’t agree with your teaching sorry
