What does it mean for the church to be built on divine revelation? Explore the significance of identity in Christ and how being a living stone creates a strong foundation for believers.
2024-04-25 - "The Most Important Part" Matthew 16_21-28 [zQ2crYgqbM4] by Salvador Flores III
We must correctly understand who Christ is and what it will cost us when we respond to Jesus' call to become His disciples.
Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 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.” And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” English Standard Version (ESV)The Holy Bible, English Standard Version. ESV® Text Edition: 2016.

Every Christian is blessed by God to be a member of a local church. And with this privilege comes the responsibility to be a responsible member of the church. Being entrusted with the keys of the Kingdom of God each member is to fulfil various responsibilities with reference to the what, the who, and the how of the gospel. We consider the text under the following headings. 1. Jesus' Confrontation (vv. 13–16) 2. Jesus' Affirmation (vv. 17–18) 3. Jesus' Assignment (v. 19)
Series: Living by Faith as the Church Title: What is the Church? Scripture: Matthew 16:13-18 Message by: David Adams 11.9.25
Memorial of Saint Leo the Great, Pope and Doctor of the ChurchMatthew 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.”
You don't win the game of life by staying in control—you win by letting Jesus lead. In this message, Pastor Mark shares how surrendering control brings true peace, joy, and freedom in Christ.
You must correctly identify who Jesus is, and place your faith in Him to be saved, and then join the mission of the church to spread His name to the end of the earth.

Our study of Matthew's account of our Lord's transfiguration in glory is the focus of this study. This most likely occurred on Mount Hermon a few miles from Caesarea Philippi.Peter thought it was good to be here. Dr. Mitchell gives us Peter's response to what he was seeing and hearing and asks, "How did Peter know these men were Moses and Elijah? As a cloud comes over the disciples, a voice speaks out of the cloud from heaven to Jesus saying "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased".Then, God the Father, speaking to the disciples says, "You Listen to Him." Jesus is who God wants us to listen to. Do you do this? Do I do this?Is your Bible open as we read His Word? As you listen, He will speak to you.Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 17:1-8.
Peter makes the great confession: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus declares this truth is a divine revelation, and this confession is the rock upon which His Church is built. But when Peter rejects a suffering Messiah, Jesus' rebuke—"Get behind me, Satan!"—teaches that a theology of glory without the cross is a satanic temptation. The true Christ is the crucified Christ, and to follow Him is to take up one's own cross. The Rev. Bryan Spang, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in State College, PA, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 16:13-28. To learn more about Good Shepherd Lutheran, visit goodshepherdsc.org. The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who challenges us with the crushing demands of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount to the sweet comfort of the Gospel in His death and resurrection. From royal genealogy to glorious resurrection, this verse-by-verse study proclaims the One who conquered sin, death, and the devil for us, now delivering forgiveness, life, and salvation through Word and Sacrament as He remains with His church always, even to the end of the age. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Matthew 17 verses 1-8 shows Jesus glorified before His disciples, Peter, James and John. They see and hear Moses and Elijah talking with Him. Dr. Mitchell discussed the doctrine, the test, and the time of the transfiguration. He now shares with us the theme of the transfiguration.In Luke's gospel account, Dr. Mitchell gives us the theme as being the death of the savior found in Luke chapter 9 verse 31. In Jesus' own words from the gospel of John, He says He had power to lay down His life and He had power to take it up again. This was the subject of the conversation between Jesus, Moses and Elijah in glory. Thru faith in Jesus Christ, eternal life is guaranteed. As we have read, Moses and Elijah are still alive with Jesus.Here, in Matthew 17:1-8, is Dr. Mitchell with the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

The Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast continues our study in Matthew 17 verses 1-8 with Dr. Mitchell.As has been said before, he is devoting five lessons to these 8 verses. These 8 verse speak of the transfiguration of our Lord Jesus with 3 of His disciples observing His glory. Both Moses and Elijah was seen by them talking with Jesus. As Luke tells us, they were speaking with Jesus about His soon departure, His exodus, that is, His death, burial and resurrection before ascending back to heaven. Dr. Mitchell turns to prophecy. He explains in detail God's plan throughout the ages of time with its certain and distinct responsibilities for man . At this present time in history, man is responsible to believe the gospel of Christ, being saved by grace thru faith in Him.Let's join Dr. Mitchell - Matthew 17 1:8.
Program for 10/28/25 SAS Chapel: 1 Peter 4, Matthew 16:24-27, Reformation
The Church isn't a building, a brand, or a weekend event — it's the people of God filled with the Spirit of God, called to reveal the Son of God.Jesus said, “I will build My Church” (Matthew 16:18).It belongs to Him. It's built by Him.And the gates of Hades will not overcome it.In this message, Pastor Josh teaches what Scripture reveals about the Church as Jesus' ekklesia — His family, His flock, His priesthood, His bride, and His body on the earth.We don't just attend church… we are the Church — unified in love, equipped for mission, and committed to one another.
We must avoid the hypocritical traditions of man-made religion, which are usually based on legalism or pragmatism, and remain committed to the pure Word of God, which is without hypocrisy.

Jesus, the Christ and the Son of the Living God, will lay His life down bearing the sins of His own and then He will take His life up again. And then Jesus calls all of us to follow Him. But all the self-denial and cross-bearing is worth it because Jesus is the greatest treasure. And that fact helps us hold fast to our confession, steward the keys, bear our crosses, and wait for our reward.

John McKee delivers the October 2025 Outreach Israel News update. Was it the Messiah's intention in Matthew 16:18 to establish a new assembly of elect—or actually to restore Israel? This analysis is then followed with a teaching on “The Message of Ephesians.”
Celebrating 15 Years of North River Church | Pastor Michael Kennedy
In this passage, Jesus responds in very different ways to different types of inadequate responses to Him. Those with hearts opposed to faith, hearts of little faith, and hearts of growing faith see how Jesus would respond to them.
The Pharisees and the Sadducees were often at odds with each other concerning doctrine and philosophy, but they had a common link in their skepticism about Jesus. Today they ask Jesus to display his power with a sign from heaven. Christ has already performed numerous miracles, but these men have been blind to the truth; they can't read the signs of the times. Later, Peter makes what is often called “the good confession,” which is that Jesus is not John the Baptist resurrected or Elijah, but the Messiah. Jesus says that he will build his church on this confession, but those who follow him will have to take up their cross in order to do so. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org
The greatest battle we face in life isn't against the devil around us — it's against the self-will within us. In this message, we learn what it means to die to ourselves and fully surrender to God's will. True transformation begins when we find our proper place — following behind Jesus and living for Him, not for ourselves. Thank you for listening to the Truth for Today Podcast!
