Summer Soundtrack | Week 3 | Jim Chapman | June 21st, 2026

What do you do when life gets hard, culture pushes back, or the enemy seems to be winning? In this message from our Sounds of Summer series, Pastor Jim Chapman uses Tom Petty’s classic song “I Won’t Back Down” to explore Jesus’ powerful words in Matthew 16:13–20. Jesus promised that His Church would stand strong and that even the gates of hell would not overcome it. This message is a reminder that followers of Jesus are not called to retreat in fear but to stand firm in faith, live on mission, and trust God's power in every battle. Whether you're facing struggles in your family, your faith, your marriage, or your future, this sermon will encourage you to keep moving forward and refuse to back down.
