    Who do people say that Jesus is? Who do you say that Jesus is?

    There are two questions I want to point us in the direction of from this passage of scripture; Mathew ch 16 v 13 Jesus asks, “Who do people say that the son of man is?” And Mathew ch 16 v 15 where Jesus asks “But who do you say that I am?” We start the narrative with this discourse between Jesus ...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

    Why The Church Series

    Contributed by John Sears on Jun 12, 2014
    based on 8 ratings
     | 22,501 views

    In our culture where the influence of the church is diminishing, why should we BE the church? The answer is found in the identity of Jesus and the promises he makes about the Kingdom he is establishing (the church).

    Why the Church I want to share some staggering statistics about church. Since the year 2000, more than 4000 churches in America have closed the doors to their buildings each year. That's more than 40,000 churches. At the turn of the 1900’s there were 27 churches to every 10,000 people. ...read more

    Passage: Matthew 16:5-12 Intro: It is very common for us to be satisfied with shallow answers to deep questions. 1. got a headache, take an aspirin. 2. can’t sleep, take a pill. 3. this is especially true of God’s revelation to us. 4. because it is spiritual in nature, something ...read more

    Remember The Bread

    Contributed by Larry Grant on Aug 5, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,543 views

    Our Lord uses bread as a metaphor when the Disciples forget to bring some. This is to get them to open their spiritual eyes and see Who they are dealing with. They failed to understand that Jesus Christ was and is the Bread of Life.

    Matthew 16:5-12 (NKJV) "REMEMBER THE BREAD" August 6, 2023 What is this doctrine of the Pharisee and Sadducee? Luke 12:1 teaches that it is the doctrine of Hypocrisy. It is a people that say we uphold law and order until they themselves must be held accountable for their lawless actions. ...read more
