Message

Encounter at Caesarea Philippi
Matthew 16:13-20

Introduction: When you Encounter Jesus, it requires you to…

• Answer Who Jesus is
• Adjust Who You are

A Popular Question with a Superficial Answer (Matthew 16:13-14)

• Even if Jesus is compared to the Greatest people to ever live, it still grossly Underestimates His Worth.

A Personal Question with a Supernatural Answer (Matthew 16:15-17)

• To encounter Jesus…
  • …is to Believe that Jesus is more than a Man. He is Messiah- “The True & Better…”
  • …is to Acknowledge that we come to Jesus on His Terms, not Ours.

A Powerful Declaration with a Significant Identity (Matthew 16:18-20)

• You are a New Person
• You acquire a New Purpose
  • God calls the People of God (The Church) to Conquer overcome the Place of the Enemy (The Gates of Hell)
    • A Place of Defensive Strongholds
    • A Place of Depraved Strategy
    • A Place of Demonic Sacrifice
  • You activate a New Power
    • The Authority of God’s Word
    • The Discernment of the Holy Spirit

Application: Have you encountered Jesus? Has this encounter changed who you are?
