Making Disciples vs Building Church

I've been spending some time reading the Gospels ... and had an interesting thought this morning.

Jesus gives us a clear command to 'go and make disciples' (Matthew 28:19). But, who did He say would build His church? He said 'I will build my church'. (Matthew 16:18)

Maybe we should spend less time worrying about how to do church, and more time worrying about how to make disciples. Seems like Jesus has said 'I'll take care of the church part.'

Just a thought.
