The Centrality of the Local Church
The Centrality of the Local Church
Sermon Synopsis
Culture is the set of behaviors and attitudes that guide who we are as individuals and groups. Often unspoken, our marriages families, workplaces, neighborhoods, and church families all possess them. It is not what we say but who we are. Jesus longs to establish His Kingdom Culture in us now as it is in Heaven.
As we transition into deeper depths and our new structure as a church family this Summer, we will look at the culture Jesus is seeking to establish among us. See more about our transition here: www.legacypointchurch.com/replant-2019

Matthew 16:13-20
13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” 20 Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
