Today we are going to talk about two of the most important verses in all the Bible that foundation our theology.

Two misunderstood verses. Our Catholic friends have taken these verses, in my opinion, way out of context and built some really bad doctrine on them. But the Bible's clear,

and these verses are powerful, and I want you to see them today. Welcome to Everyday Truth with

Kurt Skelly. We believe the Bible is true and relevant to everyone, everywhere, every day.

If today's conversation is a help to you, take a moment to

leave a review or share it with a friend. Thanks for listening. Now, let's join Kurt for today's

episode. Hey friends, welcome back to yet another episode here at the studio in Fredericksburg, Virginia. We are halfway to anywhere in the world.

Honestly, people drop in all the time because we're right off of I-95, just south of D.C., just north of

Richmond, and we'd love to have you stop by. So if you're ever in our area, especially on a Sunday,

we'd love to see you at Faith Baptist Church and take you out to eat or get you a cup of coffee. If you'd like,

we would get you the Americano hot with steamed heavy cream. That's the only thing that's

actually drinkable at Starbucks, but boy,

is it good. So stop on by and visit. We're in Matthew chapter 16 today, and we introduced something

last episode called the Great Confession. Jesus looked at his disciples and said, what is my real identity? Who am I?

And Peter spoke for all of them, and he said, you are the Messiah. You are the son of God.

And Jesus said, you are correct. And that is something that the father himself has revealed. So I can't be more true than that.

But the chapter isn't over because now Jesus takes this new information or at least this

solidified information in their mind and expands upon it and talks about what their future role will be and clarifies even what his

ministry will look like. I mean, you're the Messiah. You're going to set up a kingdom. You're

going to rule and reign. We're going to rule and reign with you. That would be what they would think

because that was the conception of what Messiah would do.

And by the way, that is what Messiah will do.
