7.26.09 "Built On A Rock" Matthew 16: 13-20
August 12, 2009 01:18 PM PDT
Jesus called his disciples to a solid identity in Him. It's no wonder that he referred to His church as being built on a "rock". As believers, we need to frequently review the foundation upon which we are called to build our lives. This sermon is an exploration into the original idea of God to form a people who would bless all nations through their mission and their message. Without Him, we don't have a rock to stand on. |
Podcast SummaryThis podcast features sermons presented at Oakhaven Church in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. These messages are offered as a resource for spiritual instruction and encouragement. About GaryThe podcasts you will find here are mostly sermons I have preached at Oakhaven Church in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. These are posted for the benefit of exploring the wonder of God’s word in scripture. No claims are made as to my own expertise as a scholar or authority. These audio presentations are not edited. They will often include a side comment or reference to a Powerpoint slide or handout. They will occasionally include a statement or an aside comment which might need clarification or even correction. I frequently find that if I listen to my own sermons I wince at the choice of words or wish I had elaborated on something so as not to be misleading or inaccurate. Bottom line: “it is what it is”. These are sermons to encourage one to study on their own, draw ones' own conclusions. Finally my own efforts serve well to point out the frail human condition of any of those of us who call ourselves, “preachers”. We paint a target on our chests every time we publicly proclaim God’s word. We are usually our own fiercest critics. Like Paul, we embrace the fact that “we know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified….and we stand before you in weakness and in fear and much trembling….my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit of power that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God” 1 Cor. 2:2-5 ESV and a little paraphrasing of my own. — Gary Cleveland Fans of this ShowFavorite LinksGary's FriendsContact MeSubscribe to this Podcast
