Below are thoughts, questions, prayers to the Father, and whatever else the community writes. Ekklesia desires to have a continious conversation of comments, thoughts and questions.Ekklesiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14163591703261560601noreply@blogger.comBlogger31100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17156551.post-1131124025907925242005-11-04T11:58:00.000-05:002005-11-04T12:07:05.906-05:00What are the offices of the church? The Bible says there are two offices, elders or overseers and deacons (1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1). What do you think? What is your view on elders and deacons? What are the functions of both offices?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17156551-113112402590792524?l=ekklesiablog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ekklesiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14163591703261560601noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17156551.post-1131122880889893952005-11-04T11:37:00.000-05:002005-11-04T11:55:28.113-05:00What do you value in a church? As I ponder on the values of Ekklesia, I, Jonathan, began to think about what I value. The other day I was reading <em>Values-Driven Leadership </em>by Aubrey Malphurs and the book directed me to Acts 2:31-38 to look at what the early church values. My values in church are pretty similar, but I am interested in hearing about what you value. Share your thoughts about what you value in the church.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17156551-113112288088989395?l=ekklesiablog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ekklesiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14163591703261560601noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17156551.post-1130013237441749222005-10-22T16:33:00.000-04:002005-10-22T16:51:15.570-04:00<span style="color:#ff9966;">What does Ekklesia mean?
