10:00 AM Weekend Worship Service

Main message: Jesus asks each of us "Who do you say I am?" — Peter's confession that Jesus is the Christ, revealed by the Father, is the living-faith rock on which Christ builds his church, and that personal, revealed faith makes us "built to last" through life's storms. The sermon calls listeners to own that faith, deepen it through God's Word and prayer, and respond (rededicate/receive prayer).

Key points:

• Jesus intentionally asks his followers who others say he is and then presses them: who do you say he is? (Matt. 16:13–19).
• Peter’s answer ("You are the Christ, the Son of the living God") was revealed by the Father — revelation, not mere human opinion, is the basis of saving faith.
• That revealed faith is the "rock" on which Jesus builds his church; faith unlocks God’s power (keys to the kingdom; bind/loose).
• Personal, not borrowed, faith is required — grow your faith by engaging Scripture, prayer, and personal experience with God.
• Because Christ is the solid rock, believers can endure seasons of struggle and change; the congregation was invited to respond by rededicating, receiving prayer, or coming to the altar.

Scriptures mentioned: Matthew 16:13–19, John 14, John 11
