This document contains the sermon notes from Rev. Juanito D. Samillano Jr. from January 8, 2017. The sermon focuses on Jesus asking his disciples "But who do you say I am?" and Peter's response that Jesus is "the Christ, the Son of the living God." The sermon discusses how Jesus wanted a personal confession from his disciples rather than just acknowledging the miracles. It also emphasizes that knowing Christ personally is the foundation for all things and encourages attendees to consider how they would answer if Jesus asked them this question.
