Episode Synopsis


What does it mean to be the church? In this powerful message, R.J. Rushdoony uncovers the original meaning of ekklesia—not merely a gathering for worship, but a royal assembly, a governing body called by God. The church is not a passive institution, but an active community of priests and rulers, empowered by grace and commissioned to shape history under Christ’s kingship. Far from being a private affair, the church is God's visible order in the world, called to rule, intercede, and shine as light in the darkness.
