Outloud Bible Podcast - Matthew 16-17: Following Jesus through the highs and lows
Description
We read Matthew 16–17 and feel the swing from big faith moments to sudden confusion, correction, and failure. We end with one hard, honest question: when the excitement fades and all we see is Jesus, is that enough?
• Jesus refusing sign demands and calling out blind “signs of the times” thinking
• The warning about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees as corrupting teaching
• Peter’s confession of Jesus as the Christ and the meaning of following him
• Jesus predicting suffering and confronting our instinct to resist God’s plan
• The call to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and choose real discipleship
• The Transfiguration and God’s command to listen to Jesus
• Coming down the mountain to unmet expectations and mustard seed faith
• The “Jesus alone” moment and the question of what we really want from God
