“Who Do You Say That I Am?” - Matthew 16:14-16
Pastor Kirk Flaa
Matthew 16:14-16 ESV
SERMON: “Who Do You Say That I Am?” - Matthew 16:14-16
1. Who We SAY He Is
2. Who We THINK He Is
3. Who Jesus REALLY Is
“Your eternity depends on getting this answer right!”
APPLICATION QUESTIONS:
1. What are some of the identities you have heard ascribed to Jesus? Why are even the highest human accolades insufficient for Jesus?
2. Reflect upon your own life for a moment. Have you ever been tempted or prone to view Jesus as “Amazon Prime”, “Match.com”, “Suggestion Box”, or “Vacation Planner”, etc. ? Why is it so easy to fall into this trap?
3. Read John 6:68-69, Romans 10:9-13, Philippians 2:9-11. Why is one’s response to the question “Who do you say I am?” so urgent and critical?
4. Consider the significance of the terms “Christ”, “Son”, and “Living God” in verse 16. How do these titles/definitions summarize both the divine mission and divine origin of Jesus? If Jesus were anything or anybody less, could He be our Sovereign Lord?
5. What is a single take-away for you and how will your life be changed by today’s sermon?
