With the recent passing of Pope Francis, we wanted to look at the origin of the Pope in Catholicism. Was it Peter? Why do Catholics believe that?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the main Scriptures associated with the start of the papacy and talk through the context to figure out what Jesus really meant when He said He would build the church on Peter. We hope that as you listen, you gain a better understanding of the Scripture and what God was and is still trying to communicate to His people!
