Sermon overview

Wigglesworth starts with the Pharisees and Sadducees asking Jesus for a sign. Read their request beside Peter’s confession to see the different ways people respond to Jesus.

Peter’s confession leads to Jesus’ words about the church. Continue through verses 21–24, where Peter’s understanding of the Messiah still needs correction.

How Wigglesworth influenced Vince Baker

Vince Baker came to Christ on July 9 at age 17. For his July 26 birthday, his grandmother gave him Albert Hibbert’s Smith Wigglesworth: The Secret of His Power.

Vince recalls that God spoke to him as he read about Wigglesworth’s life and ministry. The book shaped his own walk with God and the way he teaches about faith, prayer, and yielding to the Holy Spirit.
