Pastor Rob McCoy from Godspeak Calvary Chapel challenges believers to reclaim the biblical understanding of "Ekklesia" as the public square where Christians are called to engage in the governance and welfare of their communities. Drawing from Matthew 16:18, Pastor Rob emphasizes that the church is not just a place of worship but a force to influence society, standing against tyranny and injustice. Using historical references like Moses' leadership during Israel's exodus and America's founding principles, he calls Christians to actively participate in preserving liberty and fighting for righteousness in today's cultural and political landscape. Be inspired to embrace your role in the "Ekklesia" and make a difference for Christ in your community.
