About

By David Maas
This website is a teaching ministry of the Disciples Global Network designed to provide you with studies on how God has fulfilled His Word and promises in Jesus of Nazareth. The Son of God is the theological center of the New Testament and the original Apostolic faith, especially what God has accomplished in his death and resurrection. In him, all the promises of God find their fulfillment.

The Apostle Paul declared that the forms of this age are passing away. With the advent of Jesus, nothing could or will ever be the same again, including the identity of the people of God. In him, God's covenant and promises are now open to men and women from ALL nations. The “age to come" has commenced, and the Kingdom of God is making inroads wherever the Gospel is proclaimed.

It means “assembly, congregation, convocation.” In secular Greek, it could refer to an “assembly” of citizens gathered to conduct matters of state. However, that is not the sense found in the Greek New Testament.

The Mission

By David Maas

Jesus tasked his disciples with announcing the same message that he preached to the people of Israel to every nation on the Earth, which he summarized as the “ Good News of the Kingdom of God .” In the man from Nazareth, God’s rule was and is being established but in unexpected and paradoxical ways. By the day of his return, he will have established his complete sovereignty and subdued all his “ enemies ,” including “ Death .” Until then, his Body is called to proclaim his message to one and all.
