Matthew 16:21-28

Today the plan is to finish up Matthew chapter sixteen.  We’ll learn what it truly means to be on the Calvary Road.  This life in Christ looks much different than the way of the world.  It will involve denying self, and brokenness.  Something that was modeled by Jesus on His road to the cross.  But first we’ll learn a thing or two from the apostle Peter, who at this particular point was following a far off, warming himself at the enemies’ fire. 

See if this sounds familiar?  You have a grand plan in your life, and very excited about it.  But then things turn south in a hurry, and those plans are shattered!  We wonder what went wrong?  Today on Light on the Hill consider that God may have derailed that plan for a very good reason!  Pastor James Kaddis is leading us through Matthew’s gospel, and we’ll be paying another visit to chapter sixteen, verses 21-28.  A passage that speaks volumes about the sovereign hand of God!

Last time we were together we heard the truth about Christ.  Now today we’ll hear the truth about the cross.  Jesus is about to tell His disciples of the cross, and what’s coming.  We’ll also learn what it means to truly follow after Christ.  

Are you a planner?  The type of person that likes to plan things out from A to Z, months or years in advance?  You’ve probably noticed in life sometimes things don’t go according to plan, and that can be disheartening!  It’s about that time we start to wonder what went wrong? Why would God let this happen?  Today on Light on the Hill put yourself in the disciples shoes for a moment, as their world is about to get rocked, and their plans are shattered!  We’re in Matthew chapter sixteen.
