2. Stop “Doing” Church (It might destroy you!)

3. What is the Church?

4. What is the Church? Define “church?” What is the purpose of the church? Of what does the church consist? What is the church supposed to do?

5. What is the Church? Ekklesia: Matthew 16.18 – “church” = ekklesia Acts 19.39 – “regular assembly” = ekklesia Acts 8.3 – “church” = ekklesia The etymology is an “unassembled assembly”

6. What is the Church? Ekklesia: Ek – “out of” Klesis – “a calling”
