The first usage of "ekklesia" was in reference to any Greek community coming together to sit in judgment or to establish statutes, ordinances, or laws that became binding on all persons within the boundaries of the authority of that "ekklesia." Therefore, when Yahshua said that He would build His "ekklesia," those present knew that Yahshua was declaring that He would establish and build a people whose first responsibility would be to judge—to set things in order. The failure to understand "church" in its original meaning, continues to hinder the church in its divine purpose. Church as it is understood today, pretty much means that everyone can do what he wants to do, so long as each one professes to love Yahshua. There will be no expression of divine order until we let the church be the ekklesia of Yahshua.
