On March 10, Pastor Katy preaches on Matthew 16:13-23.

As we enter the season of Lent, a period of reflection and repentance that leads up to Easter, we journey with Jesus on his road to Jerusalem and to the cross. One of the faces we meet over and over again is the face of Simon Peter. Within only a few verses, Simon Peter goes from being the rock upon which Christ would build the church to the stumbling block that would try to lead Jesus astray. Peter is both fiercely faithful and bold, and painfully flawed and rash. Perhaps he shows up as often as he does in the Gospels because we need someone like Peter to remind us that we too, imperfect as we are, are called to be the foundation of the church.
