Who Do You Say I Am?---Sunday, August 24th, 2014

This Sunday's sermon will come from Matthew 16:13-20.

Jesus asks Peter "who do YOU say I am?" I am putting the emphasis on "you" because I think that often, we have faith because we think it's the right thing to do, or because someone taught us to have it, our community has it, our friends have it, etc.

Are we owning up to what we believe about Jesus? Peter answers saying, "you are the Christ, the Son of the living God" not because he thought it was the right thing to say or someone told him that's who Jesus was. He said it because he knew it, he saw it, and he believed it.

So who do YOU say that Jesus is? Faith confesses, by word and deed, who Jesus is for YOU.
