Our Aim is to Speak Where the Bible Speaks and Be Silent Where the Bible is Silent

Concerning Christ and the Church

Website of the Major Drive Church of Christ

 Welcome to our website . . .

     Jesus promised in Matthew 16:18 that he would build his church. Its coming had been a subject of Old Testament prophecy (Is. 2:1-4; Dan. 2:44; Joel 2:28), and both John the Baptist and Jesus announced early in their ministeries that it was "at hand" (Matt. 3:3; 4:17). These promises and prophecies found their fulfillment in Acts 2 (see the article, "The Beginning," under "The Church" heading on the "Articles # 1" page), and from that day forward the church is spoken of as a present reality. The terms "church" and "kingdom" are used interchangeably by Jesus in Matt. 16:18 and 19.

     You will find sufficient material on this website to provide a better understanding of the two subjects treated (and related subjects). At the same time, it will help instill a greater appreciation of the relationship that exists between Christ and the church. Christ is after all the builder (Matt. 16:18), head (Eph. 1:22-23; Col. 1:18), and foundation (1 Cor. 3:11) of the church, and he loved it so much that He gave himself up for it and is the Savior of the body (Acts 20:28; Eph. 5:2, 23) .
