    What is the Church? Why is it so important to attend? Can God use me if I just stay home?

    Matthew 16:15-20 (KJV) He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my ...read more

    The Day Peter Was An Idiot: Missing The Necessity of the Cross Proper 17 – Matthew 16:21-28 Intro: Since February of this year, the People’s Republic of China has removed and destroyed over 900 crosses from Christian churches.

    Jesus asked the disciples, "who do people say I am?" - Is he the one who liberates us from egocentrism in order to love God and the world?

    “How love liberates and transforms the world.” Proper 16 Year A Intro: Have you ever fantasized about what the world would be like without social media?

    Now with the media tracking you and keeping you accountable, the way you live out your life daily will send a message to others who you really are and what is your calling. This should not stop you to live out God’s call.

    Opening Illustration: Jesus has become popular again. His name pops up in the news all the time. In 2004 Mel Gibson did what Billy Graham could not do. Through his movie The Passion of the Christ, he took the cross of Jesus and planted it squarely in the middle of American public life. For a few ...read more

    In this episode from the life of Peter, we learn how to avoid being used by Satan to stop the progress of God's kingdom.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of a minister who parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. 1. So he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: “I have circled the block 100 times. If I don't park here, I'll ...read more

    Peter's responsibility was massive. Who would be allowed into this belief, who would find salvation? Our task is similar.

    In the passage from Matthew 16:13-20 we hear a conversation between Jesus and Peter that happened in a region called Caesarea Philippi. A wee bit of background to this conversation: prior to this conversation the disciples and Jesus had been on the other side of the Sea of Galilee in North ...read more

    Proper 16 (A). We are fashioned by Christ, who is the rock and cornerstone. Therefore we look to Him instead of to our effort, to be the living stones of His church.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Be a Piece of the Rock” “What!? Have you got rocks in your head?” You have heard that expression before. The implication is that ...read more

    Proper 17 (A) We are lost in sin and lost in ourselves. But Christ has redeemed the world. Therfore, those who lose their old selves shall find themselves in Christ, who is Life indeed.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Keepers, Weepers, Losers, Finders” Jesus tells us that to be His disciples, we must deny ourselves, and take up our cross. Now, whatever ...read more

    Who Am I

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 15, 2015
     | 7,515 views

    Like Peter, we are followers of Jesus. Like Peter, we sometimes have deep faith, and, at other times, a lack of faith. Jesus saw in Peter the same thing he sees in us-building material that can be shaped into a people of faith to serve his reign.

    The Gospel reading from Matthew 16:13-20 takes place in the region of Caesarea Philippi. It was a territory where pagan gods were worshipped, and it is there that Jesus asks Peter a question about his identity; not in some safe territory, but in a non-believing location. Perhaps that is why Jesus ...read more

    Take Up My Cross And Follow Me

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 16, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,422 views

    Though we fall again and again, it is the getting up that marks the true child of God. So, we offer our lives in surrender to Christ’s purpose. The waters of our baptism renew in us the willing spirit that says, “Yes” to our own taking up the cross.

    In the famous words of the late American news commentator Paul Harvey, Matthew 16:21-28 is “the rest of the story”. It is a continuation from Matthew 16:13-20, in which Peter acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God. Now Jesus is telling his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem to ...read more

    Where do you go when your mind is broken, you feel empty and without a sense of purpose, incapable of finding any joy in your life? You seek a cure from the Great Physician Jesus whose demand to deny self and follow Him is a yoke that is light in His sustaining grace and strength!

    In a time of high emotion and turbulence Christians must carefully anchor their decisions in biblical principles. This message addresses how we must fight the current cultural battle and where the focus of our efforts must be.

    Introduction America is in a serious time of crisis. Most of us can easily see that. The crisis poses a serious question as to what we should do now.
