He is the Christ

This sermon explores one of the most critical moments in the Gospel of Matthew—Peter's confession that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God (Matthew 16:13-20). It emphasizes that recognizing Jesus as more than a prophet or teacher, but as the Messiah, is foundational for personal faith and the hope of the Church. The sermon challenges listeners to personally answer Jesus' question, "Who do you say that I am?" and encourages reliance on Jesus as the one who builds and sustains His Church, even in the face of challenges and uncertainty.
