I’m Fixed Upon It
Peter gets it right—then immediately gets it wrong. In Matthew 16:21–23, Peter declares Jesus is the Messiah, but when Jesus speaks about suffering and death, Peter rebukes him. Jesus responds, “Get behind me, Satan,” exposing the tension between human expectations and God’s mission.
Pastor Paula explores how we, like Peter, often think in human terms—seeking power, safety, and control—while Jesus calls us to trust God’s bigger story. The good news? The sentence does not end with suffering. On the third day, Jesus was raised.
