Faith and Failure in the Christian Walk

Title: Faith and Failure in the Christian Walk

Who Do You think of as bold?

Moses Bold before the Lord.

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ

How do you become bold?

Galatians 2:9, John 1:40-42, Matthew 16:13-19

“Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock[a] I will build my church, and the gates of hell[b] shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed[c] in heaven.”
