In the shadows

23 - 29 August 2020

A better story

Matthew 16.13-20

Taking the twelve disciples a long way north, Jesus wants to know if they have understood who he is yet. In the shadow of empire, they declare him to be king, and he assures them that this confession will help them break the grip of that empire on them and others.

This week’s resources explore: the stories that we live by; who we put our trust in.
