Look back:  Read back over Matthew 16:13-20.  Remember the 4 key points: 1) Jesus forms his church by supernatural revelation, 2) Jesus builds his church on the apostolic foundation, 3) Jesus expands his church by proclamation of the gospel, and 4) Jesus protects his church by purification

Look ahead: This coming Sunday, Pastor Michael will be preaching from Matthew 16:21-28.  Read over the passage with your family during the week before Sunday.  

Sing: Check out this week's music and sing with your family before Sunday.  We've got a brand new one called "Our God is For Us" you should spend some time with ahead of Sunday.
