Message: “Who is God?” from Chad De Jager

Jesus takes his disciples to the edge of their world—into a city known for pagan worship and imperial power—and asks a question that still echoes today: Who do you say I am? Set at the “gates of Hades” in Caesarea Philippi, this moment in Matthew 16 isn’t just about Peter’s confession. It’s a turning point that reveals Jesus’ identity, launches the Church, and calls each of us to examine our own allegiance. In a time of cultural confusion, spiritual projection, and personal uncertainty, this teaching asks: What kind of Jesus are you following—and is it the real one?

Scripture References: Matthew 16:13-20

This spring we are studying the Apostles Creed, a summary of Christian faith recited by the church for over 1700 years. Each week we will study key phrase as we connection the foundational beliefs of our faith. This week we are looking at the history and essential role of the creed in our lives as followers of Jesus.
