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?
