The Great Apostolic Confession

At Caesarea Philippi, Peter enunciates the clearest confession of faith the disciples have formulated to this point. In turn, the Lord pronounces Simon Peter blessed by God and chosen for a foundational role in the life of His church. This sermon explores the meaning of this much-disputed statement, and especially the pivotal role of the apostolic witness in the history of the church and what that means for the church today.
