About

A Five-Fold Ministry Ecclesia

Story

Introduction
In surveying the New Testament Scriptures for a description of the first century ecclesia (the modern Bible erroneously utilizes the word "church") one would have to wonder how the Body of Christ evolved into what it is today. As with most things entrusted to man's management, he has determined the Yahweh's original order and design could be improved and systematically changed it to accommodate a modern "church". Regardless that these changes have gutted the organic and dynamic nature of the Holy Spirit-led ecclesia whose purpose is to equip the Body of Christ to rule and reign in the earth as Yahweh and His Son, Yahshua, presently reign in the heavens.

Today’s religious and institutionalized “church” has forgotten that the very purpose for the redemption of man is to rule and reign over the earth. Furthermore, the ecclesia is tasked with introducing the saving power of the Christ anointing and equipping that person for their Yahweh-ordained purpose as Christ’s change-agents in the earth today. The organized and institutionalized “church” has inaccurately interpreted the Kingdom of Heaven to only be expressed in heaven-one day-futuristically. Yahshua, the Christ, establishes very plainly that the Kingdom of Heaven is here and is to be established and expanded in the earth now.

Consequently, The Rock of Northwest Arkansas was founded and exists today for the purpose of establishing, expressing, and expanding the Kingdom of Christ in the earth here and now! The Rock is dedicated to Yahweh’s original purpose of creating the earth for His glory while also redeeming man’s creative purpose to manage over the land through generational stewardship. (Genesis 1:26-28)

According to Yahshua, the Christ, and the early apostles, this is best accomplished through the ecclesia. An ecclesia differs from a church in that the original word that Yahshua introduced, “ecclesia”, emphasizes the legislative nature of conducting Kingdom business by judging righteous judgment according to Yahweh’s law and order. Since man has altered Yahweh’s original design, a standard of His right order had to be established to judge accurately in the earth what the Father has ordained in the heavens. Thus the reason for Yahshua coming to the earth as a man to show us how a righteous “son” of Yahweh operates. This is further emphasized through the establishment of the five-fold ministry of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers for the purpose of bringing the ecclesia to a dimension of maturity and effectiveness. (Ephesians 4:11-16) Ultimately, the entire economy of the Kingdom in the earth is transmitted through the righteous order of family which, when gathered with other Kingdom families, constitutes the local body of an ecclesia.

The Rock of NWA is such an ecclesia-a 21st century version of the first century ecclesia of Christ. The scope and scale of this ministry is designed for those desiring an organic and dynamic spiritual relationship with Yahweh that is available through the finished work of His Son, Yahshua, and the ongoing ministry of the Holy Spirit in the earth today.
