Pastor Janine preaches on the Gospel lesson Matthew, 16:13-20, in which Jesus asks his Disciples: "Who do you say that I am?" It turns out the answer is not as much about what Jesus does as it is about his true identity. And in our own lives we discover that it is our identity as Children of God that shapes "what we do" as disciples.
