September 12, 2021 – Peter gives us a perfect example of what is very simple, but not so easy to do. Peter shares a heartfelt confession which he does not fully understand by misunderstanding what “Messiah” means. Jesus calls him out. More so, Jesus explains that following requires a simple task – take up your cross. Peter is having a hard time denying himself, and I think we do, too. It seems so simple, but it’s not easy. See you this weekend as we dig deeper into Mark’s Gospel. Pastor Steve preaches on Mark 8:27-38
