Matthew: Jesus is the Messiah, Son of the Living God
Andrew Allison · Listen
Sermon Questions Matthew 16:13-20
- Tell the story of a time you had to wait. Are you good or not so good at waiting
- The Jews waited along time for the Messiah but when He showed up many didn’t recognize Him or want Him. Why?
- What is your response to Jesus’ question: “Who do you say that I am?”
- Apparently declaring “Jesus is Messiah” wakes up the whole unseen heavenly realms. Explain what this passage seems to indicate about spiritual forces around us and our participation in that realm.
- What does it mean to you that God keeps His promises? 2000 years later God comes through in Jesus. Does that give you hope for the future?

Psalm 129 is a bit of a nasty Psalm! The writer has been oppressed and doesn’t hold back in expressing what that feels like. You might think being a believer means your troubles disappear, but that has never been the case. The good news is that God is neither blind nor indifferent to our struggles.
Psalm 131 - The Psalms of Ascent have it all: anguish, anger, encouragement, and wild joy. Psalm 131 is all about contentment. Where does contentment come from? What ruins it? What does it feel like? How can I be content in an age where marketing, social media and mirrors breed discontent?
Psalm 133 - The Psalms of Ascent were songs for the journey—worshippers sang them as they travelled together toward Jerusalem and the Temple. These Psalms give voice to the sorts of things that go through worshippers' hearts as they prepare to worship.
Psalm 104 is a song of praise that marvels at the beauty and order of God’s creation. From mountains to seas, seasons to creatures great and small, it reveals a world sustained by His power and care. This psalm invites us to stand in awe, give thanks, and consider our role as stewards of His handiwork.
