This message describes how praise dispels a heavy spirit and urges believers to keep trusting, worshiping, and listening to God. Using scriptures from Matthew 16:13–18, this sermon highlights Peter’s revelation of Jesus as “the Christ” and teaches that Jesus is the true “rock” (Petra) while believers are “lively stones,” called to grow on the sincere milk of the Word, and to avoid watered-down preaching, and be swift to hear.
