About

By David Maas
This website is a teaching ministry of the Disciples Global Network designed to provide readers 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 would ever be the same again, including the identity of the people of God. Because of him, God's covenant and promises are 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.

Ekklésia - Assembly of God

By David Maas

The New Testament usage of the term “ assembly ” is based on the language and imagery of Israel when the nation was assembled before Yahweh for worship in front of the Tabernacle. The Greek noun rendered “ church ” in many English translations is  ekklésia . 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.

Going on to Perfection

By David Maas

In the opening thanksgiving of his Letter to the Philippians , Paul prepares his readers for one of its key themes: Going on to perfection in Jesus . The promised bodily resurrection is necessary for the consummation of this process - It is an integral part of the future salvation that believers will receive when Jesus appears “ on the clouds of Heaven .” What God began in the Philippians at their conversion He will continue to perform until that day, “ the Day of Christ .”
