    Right after an astounding and historical confession of faith, here we find Peter arguing with Jesus. And the source of the problem was predictable, since Peter was a human being stuck in the physical and being led into the spiritual realm. Self-interests

    Passage: Matthew 16:21-28 Intro: Peter must have been feeling pretty good! 1. just made the first confession of faith in Jesus as Promised Messiah and the Son of God. 2. great enthusiasm from Jesus, “go to the head of the class!” 3. and then, a few minutes later, everything has changed. 4. ...read more

    Many Christians suffer from the disorder of two personalities - we want to follow Christ but we aren't willing to pay the price

    The Paradox of two Personalities I would like to focus this morning on one verse 23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.” Last week we saw Jesus calling Peter ...read more

    What Is Church?

    Contributed by Greg Nance on May 3, 2011
     | 6,156 views

    This may be one of the most misunderstood concepts in the Christian faith. A look into the word of God in Matthew brings to light the amazing calling that Jesus intends for us.

Matthew 16:18 gives us the first mention of the English word “church” in the New Testament. In all of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John this word “church” only occurs ...read more

    We are sharing the grace of God when we are imitating the God of grace. So, the question is, How did Christ display grace to us? There is no greater display of the grace of God than the Cross of Christ.

    Purpose: To describe who Christ's real followers are. Aim: I want the listener to imitate Christ's willingness to give His life. INTRODUCTION: The grace of God is so complete and full that we could never exhaust all there is to know about it. In an attempt to learn more about God's grace as we ...read more
