When Jesus asks His disciples who they believe He is, it leads to Peter's iconic confession that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. This exchange takes place in Caesarea Philippi, a region historically associated with pagan worship and considered the gateway to Hades. Jesus' response to Peter's confession is not just a comforting assurance of the church's endurance but a bold declaration of war against the powers of darkness. The sermon emphasizes that Jesus' statement about building His church "on this rock" is an offensive move, a declaration of war to the powers of darkness, signifying that death and evil have been defeated. The victory of Jesus' resurrection is the fatal blow to death and evil freeing all those found in Christ. We now live and fight from a place of victory because Jesus has triumphed over death and sin. He is VICTORIOUS.

In a world brimming with conflict and division, this message offers a biblical perspective on navigating social hostility. In a lesser known portion of the story of Joshua, we're encouraged to ask not if God is on our side, but rather if we are on God's side. This pivotal shift in perspective invites us to adopt a posture of worship, reorienting our approach to discord around us. By aligning with God's will, we can transform our environment from hostile to holy ground, becoming instruments of peace in a divided world. So whose side are you on?

Life in the kingdom is all about dwelling in the presence of our God. But how is this even possible? The Hebrew author reveals the invitation of the gospel by comparing two mountains, and our experience with God all depends on which we choose to climb. Mount Sinai, or Mount Zion?

Into The Unknown
October 15, 2023 • Whit Pennock • 2 Chronicles 20:1–30
This is the story of an Old Testament King who when faced with his fear of the unknown, did not know what to do. It’s likely we have all felt that fear before. What do we do when the odds are against us, and we don't know what to do? In this message we will relive this story, and see how faith behaves in view of the unknown.
