REACH THE LOST - "Hell Will not stand"
Peter confesses Jesus as Christ
13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 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. 18 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. 19 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.” 20 Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
-Matthew 16:13-20
SERMON NOTES
Some want to live within the sound
Of church or chapel bell;
I want to run a rescue shop,
Within a yard of hell.”
― C.T. Studd
- Jesus took his disciples to the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples; who are people saying that He is? What would you say is the most common view about Jesus? Who do you say Jesus is and why?
- Why do you think Jesus brought the disciples to Caesarea Philippi? Where would he bring his disciple today?
- What did Jesus mean when he said that “The Gates of Hell shall not prevail”? How should we live our lives?
- Scriptures to Consider
