Message: Matthew 16:13-20“Lessons from the Land: Caesarea Philippi” Jesus takes the disciples to Caesarea Philippi, the capital of Gaulanitus. It was here that the world believed the gates of Hell were to be found. Standing nearby the ancient pagan shrine to Pan and the underworld, Jesus asks the disciples who they say he is. Each of us must come to know and recognize God in an intimate way. If we believe Christ is the center, then this confession will re-center our lives.
