The Spirit will demonstrate the Word in our midst if we let Him. Dare to grow with Jesus beyond the religious status quo.

According to the Bible, Jesus is supposed to head something up (to be the CEO) of something here on earth. That something is His body — the assembly of His followers that He called by the Greek word “ekklesia,” the name of the interactive town hall meeting in Greek cities.

When we look at the Greek
We can honestly exegete
That the word “ekklesia”
Was the name of the Greek
Interactive town hall meeting
Where anyone could speak.
Since Jesus chose that word
To describe what He’s building
It shouldn’t be unique
For Christians to assemble
And let the members
Of Christ’s body speak
As led by His Spirit
And aligned to His Word.

When Jesus heads-up His Spirit-led town hall meeting people openly share from the heart as He directs them. Here’s a heads-up. Jesus wants to head up His body. It’s time we let Him. (When Christians meet but don’t allow Jesus to literally head up the meeting, they reject His headship.)

Wanting more of Jesus is a good thing. We shouldn’t let people who are satisfied with what they have spiritually, make us feel bad for wanting more of Jesus. Jesus told His disciples to wait in Jerusalem for more of His Spirit. No matter how much we know the Lord we can always surrender more to Him, obey Him more, flow with His Spirit more, receive more of the gifts and the fruit of the Spirit. Blessed are those who hunger for more of Jesus and His righteousness. We mustn’t let people make us think we are judging them because we want more than the religious status quo.

I’ve never seen the term “church service” in Scripture. In the New Testament Christians gather to worship and to obey the 50+”one another” commands. Lift your head up and always keep your eyes on Jesus so you can let Him head up your life throughout each day.
