The Ekklesia Project - Episode 90

A freedman of God hosting a journey to discover the lost ekklesia of God.
As we continue this mini-series exploring how one obtains eternal life, in this episode we extend our discussion exploring the context in which the Sermon on the Mount was presented in order to better understand, among other things, Jesus' meaning when referring to the "poor in spirit." In doing this, we closely examine Jeremiah 5 that describes the spiritual condition of Jerusalem in the days of Jeremiah. This spiritually dead condition could have only been amplified by the 400 years of silence, when death prevailed without any light to call for repentance, just prior to the coming of the messenger preparing the way, through the preaching of repentance, for the initiation of the New Covenant by Christ, who was preaching repentance and the good news of the redesigned kingdom of God on earth under the New Covenant. The New Covenant kingdom of God, incorporating a redesigned New Covenant people of God, would certainly be spectacular news to those true worshippers of the Father trapped within a worthless, rebellious, and corrupted people of God who was designated under the Old Covenant. This spectacular news was the gospel (good news) of the kingdom of God that Jesus proclaimed throughout his ministry.
