“I Will Build My Church!” (Episode 14)

When Jesus asked His disciples who they thought He was, Peter responded with, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”  Last week Nate Bibens discussed this great confession, and today he continues a study of Matthew 16 with a lesson on Jesus’ response to Peter.  Included in this response is one of the greatest promises ever given, the promise of Jesus that, “I will build My Church!”

“You are the Christ!” (Episode 13)

Who is Jesus?  Even 2,000 years after His life, that question is still a hotly debated question.  Debate over Jesus’ true nature is not new to the 21st century though.  Even during Jesus’ lifetime there was great division over who He was.  In Matthew 16:13-19, we find an important conversation between Jesus and His disciples about this very question.  In this lesson, Nate Bibens begins a 3-part study on this great passage, with the first sermon on Peter’s confession, “You are the Christ!”
