What is the definition of the church? What did Jesus mean when he said he would build his church? Jesus and His Church answers these questions through a concise look at the initial earthly, post-resurrection, and post-ascension ministries of Christ, revealing how his life and work relate to today's church. Scriptures from the Old Testament are presented from the perspective of God's original intention for mankind and the church. The ministry of the apostles, the preaching of Peter at Pentecost, the differences between Peter and the man Paul, and his ministry are revealed as continuations of what Jesus meant when he said, "I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." This book is doctrinal, refuting erroneous teachings that torment the church. Jesus and His Church places the church in correct perspective with the original intentions of God through the ministries of Christ his Son. It is educational to believers and convincing to nonbelievers. Revealed truth seen in the life of Christ written in Jesus and the Church will clear up confusion and any burden concerning what Jesus said and what preachers and teachers say about the church. This book will guide those who have veered off God's intended path through convincible deception back to the path where they belong and where God has always wanted them to be. May it be so in all our lives.
