    Are we followers or leaders? It doesn’t matter as long as we are following our greatest example Jesus Christ. The greatest leaders are the greatest servants of people.

    Bud Wilkinson, Hall of Fame Football Coach for the University of Oklahoma was once asked; “What contribution does professional sport make to the physical fitness of Americans?” To no one’s surprise he answered, “Very little. A professional football game,” he said, “is a happening where well over ...read more

    Text: Matthew 16:24-27- " Then said Jesus unto his disciples, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

    This message looks at the implications of Peter’s confession in Matthew 16.

    There are times when asking certain questions seem to heighten the drama of the moment. “Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?” “Do you swear to tell the truth…?” “Where were you on the night of…?” Questions such as these have the ability to cut through all the surface stuff and ...read more

    An Amazing Confession Of Faith

    Contributed by Jon Mackinney on Aug 17, 2010
     | 2,453 views

    This is a very controversial passage, and is the basis for a debate that has raged between Catholics and Protestants for many years. Let's see what Jesus was talking about when He referred to the person and the event as "the rock."

    Passage: Matthew 16:13-21 Intro: We are looking at a passage today that has sparked huge controversy among believers. 1. and in fact, it is the interpretation of this passage that essentially separates Catholics from Protestants. 2. (by the way, protestant means “for the ...read more

    Peter Falls On His Face

     | 2,869 views

    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

    I hope to explain a little bit of what it means to be a Christian.

    What does it mean to be a Christian? Matthew 16 Many preachers have asked that question over the years. Now the first thing most of you think when I ask that question is ok here it comes. I have heard all this before I know what it means to be a Christian. If you really do then you can sit there ...read more

    There is more to the faith and to the work of the church than trying to raise a "nice" army. There are those things that are actually of greater importance.

    Ever have a bad day? That’s a bit of a rhetorical question actually. All of us have. One mother writes: It was one of the worst days of my life: The washing machine broke down, the telephone kept ringing, my head ached, and the mail carrier brought a bill I had no money to pay.

    What does it mean for us to "take up your cross" and deny ourselves. I signed up for the benefits! I didn’t sign up to die.

    OPEN: I recently read the true story about a preacher who was standing at the door shaking hands as the congregation departed. He grabbed one man by the hand and pulled him aside. The preacher said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!" The man replied, "I’m already in the Army of ...read more

    The world is full of people who are making a good living but living poor lives.

    Matthew 16:26-For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

    Knowledge Of God

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Jun 12, 2013
     | 3,009 views

    Jesus shared every bit of the future happenings with His disciples, because He was thrilled by the fact that His disciples have gained knowledge and they knew who He was. KNOWLEDGE OF OUR GOD IS MOST IMPORTANT!

    From that time…… Mathew 16:21 ‘From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.’ The above scripture starts with the words, ...read more
