On This Rock Part V: The Rebuke

Matthew 16:21-27
Part V of the Lenten Sermon Series "On This Rock"

Sermon by Dr. George C. Anderson from Sunday, March 22, 2026.

"This rebuke isn’t just for [Peter]. It’s for us—when the path feels too hard. It shows up in small, ordinary moments.

• "When we know we need to say something that is true—
  • but we soften it so much that it is no longer true anymore.
• When we need to have a hard conversation—
  • and we keep putting it off.
• When we sense God calling us to step into something—
  • and we quietly step back instead.
• When we think we’re being kind—
  • when we’re really just being careful.

"Not because we don’t care,
          but because it might cost us."
