Sermon:
One to Rule Them All
Peter cannot understand how the Messiah can be crucified. Messiah is bound for victory, not defeat — bound to rule. But Jesus shatters his preconceptions. And with that begins centuries of the church learning how to propagate the reign of Christ without the rule of the church. How does a crucified messiah reign in your heart? In your world?
