ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this weeks sermon, we reflect on Jesus question to the disciples: But who do you say that I am? On the road near Caesarea Philippi, Peter answers with bold faith: You are the Messiah, the Son of God. Jesus responds with a stunning promise: You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church.
But Peter was not chosen because he was perfect. He was chosen because he was faithful. Again and again, Peter makes mistakes, speaks too quickly, misunderstands Jesus, and even denies him. Yet Jesus never gives up on him. This sermon reminds us that faith is not certainty, perfection, or moral superiority. Faith is trust in a Savior. Faith is the willingness to learn, grow, be corrected, and keep following Jesus.
Jesus builds the church on imperfect but faithful peoplepeople like Peter, and people like us. As we prepare for a new series on spiritual gifts, we are invited to trust that God is still working in us, shaping us into the body of Christ for the sake of the world.

God's grace has no borders, and the story of the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15 makes that beautifully clear. Despite every cultural, ethnic, and religious barrier stacked against her, this outsider approached Jesus with bold, persistent faith and received exactly what she came for. Psalm 67 reminds…
We live in a world shaped by scarcity, where time, money, and energy always feel limited. But God operates by a completely different economy, one defined by abundance and grace. In Isaiah 55, God invites the thirsty and the penniless to come and be filled without cost. In Matthew 14, Jesus takes fi…
