    “He said to them, ‘but who do you say that I am?’ Simon Peter replied, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’” (Matt. 16:15-16)

    Theme: Who do you say that I am Text: Ex. 2:1-10; Rom. 12:1-8; Matt. 16:13-20 The life of a believer is often compared in Scripture to the construction of a building.

    Imagine what it must have been like for Jesus! How do you start a conversation with Jesus? If you were Jesus what would you say? The normal icebreakers are not going to work ….

    Matthew 16:20 – HOW TO START A CONVERSATION WITH JESUS Walking into the building that morning (some years ago) a couple we did not know greeted us, engaging with us in conversation easily. How pleasing to go away on holidays and return to be welcomed warmly as guests by perfect strangers. ...read more

    Son Of The Living God

     | 11,199 views

    Who do men say that I am? This is an awesome passage showing that the knowledge of who Jesus is comes from only God Himself. This is a grand statement on the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Verse 18 however has been hijacked and the truth must be told.

    This week was the beginning of lent. Lent was based on a 40 day fast that some people did in the early church attempting to emulate the 40 day fast of Jesus that took place immediately after His baptism. Over the years it has become connected with the 40 days preceding the resurrection of Jesus ...read more

    The life of St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross is inspirational but off-putting to some.

    St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross August 9, 2018 We are the people of the New Covenant, the covenant made in the blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

    To establish that no denomination; its beliefs; or its baptismal practices are from heaven; they have their origins from men. However so sincere they might have been, there can be no salvation in any man-made institutions or in their religious practices.

    If you don’t know God’s definition of victory, how are you going to know when you experience it?

    Matthew 16:20-22 One of the great aspects of life is victory. Everybody assumes that they are going to be victorious and successful in everything they do. Countless conferences are given all over the place to show you how you can be successful in whatever you’re doing. Success is very ...read more

    There is suffering all around us. How do we make sense of all the suffering ? Especially the suffering that good people go through? Where can we turn to when we need to make sense of our suffering.

    Allow me to start with a well-known and (may be poor) joke about marriage. You all know about the three rings of marriage right, It starts with the engagement ring, it gets solemnized with the wedding ring and then continues with… suffering. Right?

    Jesus chose 12 ordinary men as His disciples. Even though Peter had moments that he showed great faith and other times weakness, Jesus worked in and through Peter's life. Sinlessness was not a prerequisite to serve just faith and trust in Jesus!

    Twelve Ordinary Men Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Do you feel like you are giving God your very best effort to serve in His kingdom? While there are many excuses to not serve in the body of Christ such as “I don’t feel needed,” “the staff are paid to be ...read more

     | 12,555 views

    Much of the church today has watered down the gospel so much in order to just attract attenders that Lordship and discipleship are completely foreign concepts. Many want only a casual relationship with Christ, but Christ is not a casual relationship God.

    ARE YOU A DISCIPLE? Matthew 16:13-27 This week I was in my storage room looking for something. I reached to the top shelf and felt fur and claws. A flying squirrel jumped up on a box and stared at me. I yelled for Lana to come. Why? Because I needed a sermon illustration. She got there with a ...read more

    Sometimes Christians treat the church as an emergency service … a place to go when you need spiritual help and security, but to be avoided when all is well. But the church is the only institution which can stand against the gates of Hades. Therefore church is an essential service.

    Message Matthew 16:13-20 Church – The Essential Service What do we do when we have an emergency? When there is fire … we call the Fire Brigade When there is a street fight … we call the Police.
