Tonight I want you to consider a third lesson from Matthew 16:13-23. In the first lesson we noted that Peter understood the fact that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God. But he did not understand God's purposes in Jesus. Therefore, he rebuked Jesus when Jesus said ...

God gave you and me, as Christians, some incredible promises. Because we were baptized into Christ, God promised that He would forgive and forget all of our sins (Hebrews 8:12). God promised if we maintain faith in Christ, maintain our commitment to live in God's ways, and maintain a heart ...

Spiritually, we create an enormous danger when we have sound knowledge of God's facts and truths, but have little or no knowledge of God's purposes. That danger has existed from the time of Adam and Eve's rebellion against God in the garden of Eden. That same danger intensified and rose ...

I almost named this series, The Agony of Failed Expectations. Among us as a church, things are not at all what we expected them to be. If fifty years ago people knew for a fact that the 2000's would begin with: (1) more financial worth in buildings, parking lots, and ...

26:57 Then those who had seized Jesus led him to Ca'iaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered. 26:58 But Peter followed him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and going inside he sat with the guards to see ...

This evening I want to emphasize that living by faith in God is a journey, not a destination. Faith is a walk with God, not a place that we arrive. Someone sees that we have faith in God by how we act on an everyday basis. They do not see ...
