If following Jesus means sharing with him in death, why would we ever follow him? Join us in Matthew 16:21-28 as Jesus teaches us why he must suffer, why we must suffer with him, and how we can find hope in our suffering.
Evening Communion - Matthew
Welcome. It's good you are here today, because today's question is, without a doubt, the most important one Jesus ever asked.There are many important questions in life. Where will you go to school? What career will you pursue? Who will you marry? Where will you live? How will you raise your children? Those are significant questions because they shape the course of your earthly life.But there is one question that determines far more than the next few decades. It determines your eternity. The question is found in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 16. "Who do YOU say that I am?" Everything about faith rises or falls on the answer to that question. Throughout history people have wrestled with that question. Maybe you're here today and that question still lingers in your life. WHO is Jesus?
Welcome to the Daily Disciple Podcast. As daily disciples, we seek to adore and follow Jesus, our teacher, into the abundant life that he offers. Because we find Jesus irresistible, fascinating, and incredibly practical, we want to be students of his scripture. Today's episode is found in Matthew 16 "Stumbling Blocks."
Matthew: The King Has Come "A Significant Shift" (Matthew 16:21-28) After two and a half years of public ministry, Jesus began preparing His disciples for what was ahead: His death, His resurrection, and what following Him would actually cost them. Pastor David Miller walks through Matthew 16:21-28, where Peter's attempt to talk Jesus out of the cross meets Jesus's clear response, and where Jesus tells His disciples what it means to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him for good. Listeners walk away with a clearer picture of what real life is, and what it isn't.

Jesus is God's promised son.
You've got the kind of wisdom that springs from your own mind, and then there's that deeper wisdom that flows from a higher power. So, how do you tell the difference between the two? Today, Pastor Richard is here to guide you through divine wisdom and what it truly means. When the wisdom comes from within, you might sense a bit of discomfort about it. But when it's truly from God, you'll notice a wonderful sense of peace in your heart!
The King Has Come "The Great Confession" (Matthew 16:13-20) The world is full of people who think well of Jesus. Every major religion has something generous to say about him. Most people in your neighborhood, given the chance, would call him a great teacher or a profound moral leader. But in Matthew 16, Jesus makes clear that a high opinion is not the same as the right answer. In this sermon, Pastor Russell Howard works through Matthew 16:13-20 from Caesarea Philippi, a city built for idolatry at the northern edge of Jesus's earthly ministry. There, surrounded by temples to false gods, Jesus asks his disciples the one question that cuts through every polite comparison: "Who do you say that I am?" Peter's answer, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God," is not something he reasoned his way to. Jesus is clear: the Father revealed it. That distinction matters for every believer. Faith in Christ is not a conclusion you earned. It is a grace you received. Pastor Howard also addresses one of the most misread verses in the Gospels: "on this rock I will build my church." He traces the difference between petros (the name given to Peter, a small stone) and petra (the bedrock of the confession itself), showing that the church stands on the truth that Jesus is the Christ, not on any man. From there, the sermon moves to the certainty Jesus gives his church: that she belongs to him, that the organized forces of darkness will not prevail against her, and that she carries the responsibility of faithfully reflecting the Kingdom in how she receives and releases members.

What does it look like to be a member of Christ's church? What are the benefits of church membership? How does church membership relate to faithful discipleship? In his message, “The Keys & The Kingdom” centered on Matthew 16:13-19, Pastor Alex answers these questions and more as he shares how Christ has given the Keys of the Kingdom to His church.
Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, ApostlesMatthew 16:13-19"And so I say to you, you are Peter,and upon this rock I will build my Church,and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of heaven.Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven;and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

The King Has Come "Doubt and Discipleship" (Matthew 16:1-12) In this Sunday sermon, Pastor Russell Howard examines two contrasting responses to Jesus in Matthew 16. The Pharisees and Sadducees arrive demanding proof, but their problem is not a lack of evidence. It is a resolved commitment to protect the sin their doubt allows them to keep. Jesus gives them a single answer: the sign of Jonah, pointing to his death and resurrection as the only sign that will be given. Then the scene shifts. The disciples are crossing the Sea of Galilee and realize they forgot to bring bread. When Jesus warns them about the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees, they assume he is talking about lunch. He is not. He points them back to the two miraculous feedings they witnessed firsthand and calls them to interpret their own experiences through what he has actually said, not the other way around. Pastor Russell walks through what the leaven of the Pharisees (adding to God's Word) and the leaven of the Sadducees (cutting from it) look like in the life of a believer today, and why the only stable ground is this: God's Word is authoritative, and God's Word is enough.

Jesus did not ask His disciples what the crowds thought of Him. He made it personal. Who do YOU say that I am? That question was asked in one of the darkest places imaginable, surrounded by pagan shrines and the gates of Hades, and it is still waiting for your answer today. How you answer it shapes how you lead, how you love, and how you live. Take a few minutes this week to sit with that question honestly.

What's the magic number of miracles God needs to perform before we trust Him? The disciples watched Jesus feed thousands, yet worried about having no bread. Are we making the same mistake - demanding more signs while forgetting what He's already done? The greatest threat to our faith isn't rebellion, it's forgetfulness.

Jesus came to earth as the Messiah, the Holy One of Israel, to speak life and light into a dark world. However, not everything he said was easy to understand or apply. Sometimes Jesus confused the crowds and even his disciples by what he said. We are kicking off a new series, Hard Sayings of a Kind Savior, looking at a difficult thing Jesus said to his disciples on the heels of Peter's confession of Jesus as the Christ. Join us as we dig into what it means to deny oneself and take up your cross in order to follow Jesus.
The Gospel of Matthew is a wonderful book, the first text in the New Testament, which gives us an exciting shift from the prophecies of the Old Testament to the fulfillment of those very prophecies in the person of Jesus.

Three Things We Cannot Afford to Lose (Matthew 16:13-18) Dr. Phil Hoskins
In this sermon, Pastor Rick teaches that real freedom is not doing whatever we want, but living the life God designed through self-control, purpose, fruitfulness, and continual progress. Drawing from God’s original design for humanity and Jesus’ call to discipleship, he challenges believers to take responsibility for their lives, overcome what keeps them stuck, and build a future that lasts according to God’s plan.
Main Point: Following Jesus will cost you.1. But it's the only way to find true life.2. But it's the only way to keep what matters most.3. But it's the only way to be ready when He returns.
