Luke 9:1-27 | Who Do You Say I Am?

Pastor Kevin walks through Luke 9 in this message on the identity of Jesus and what it means to follow him. At the center of this passage is the question Jesus asked his disciples: "Who do you say that I am?" Peter's answer, that Jesus is the Christ, cuts through the crowd's speculation and gets to the heart of the gospel. Following that confession, Jesus tells his disciples plainly that he must suffer, be rejected, and be raised on the third day. The passage makes clear that belonging to Jesus means taking up a cross, not gaining the world.
