We hardly ever think of it as world-changing--and neither does society. Yet this is exactly what the first-century \u003ci\u003eekklesia\u003c\/i\u003e was.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn these vital, eye-opening pages, bestselling author Ed Silvoso takes you back to the first days of the church. Digging into Scripture, he shows how the New Testament church--devoid of buildings, professional clergy, and religious freedom--was able to transform the hostile, pagan places into which it was born and set in motion a process that changed the world forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven more, Silvoso offers a roadmap back to becoming the ekklesia Jesus called his church to be. In the midst of the social, economic, political, and moral chaos in our world today, we possess the hope that people and nations so desperately need--and we can become the revolutionary, transformational, life-giving voice Jesus called us to be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA new, in-depth curriculum kit--which features a DVD with 12 brand-new teaching sessions, a group guide for both leaders and participants, and a copy of the book--is also available. Expounding on the book's dynamic teachings, each kit contains everything you need to equip your group to transform the world around them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chosen Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780800798475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Ed Silvoso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43084116394165,"sku":"9780800798475","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a205e78f-73d5-4250-99fa-fc73a33c07cd.jpg?v=1692110756","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/ekklesia-group-guide-rediscovering-gods-instrument-for-global-transformation-9780800798475","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
