Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick.

I'm the pastor of elevation church and this is our podcast.

I wanted to thank you for joining us today.

Hope this inspires you.

Hope it builds your faith.

Hope it gives you perspective to see God as moving in your life.

Enjoy the message.

Amen.

Now, what I want to do, I want to go into the Word of God from Matthew chapter 16 and I want

to share an encounter that Peter had with Jesus while Jesus was still living and this

will be this is us, Jack Pearson flashback effect on the Word of God for us to see something

that Jesus said while he was still on earth and bodily form that still echoes with ramifications

for our lives today.

And I want to ask that everyone stand in honor of the reading of the Word of God that

is physically able to stand and even if you're watching on a screen somewhere, just stand

up for a moment in reverence and respect for the Word of God.

As the grass withers, the flower fades and your outfit goes out of style but the Word

of the Lord endures forever.

I modernized it a little bit.

Amen.
