In this lesson on Mark 8:27-9:50, Peter will confess Jesus as the Christ and yet will demonstrate his misunderstanding of the kind of Messiah Jesus will be. Jesus will call His disciples to take up their crosses and die and will give sobering instruction considering the seriousness of sin. Note to listeners: we had a visitor near the close of the lesson! You will most likely hear me fighting distraction and some amusement when a dog decided to join us :)
