This sermon explores Jesus’ question, “Who do you say that I am?” in Matthew 16, examining the modern-day idols we turn to for security, belonging, approval, and control. Through Peter’s imperfect faith, it reveals a Christ who meets us while we are still in process, healing the wounds our idols can only manage and freeing us from the things we’ve asked to save us.
The good news about what's not working. A sermon for the 13th Sunday of Ordinary Time on Matthew 16:13-20 by Spencer Hathcock.
