When Jesus says "and on this rock I build my church" Matthew 16:18(NIV)
Jesus is not referring to Peter. Jesus is referring to Simon Peter's answer.
Jesus: "Who do you say I am?"
Simon Peter: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
It's Simon Peter's statement that serves as the rock solid foundation of the church.
The point is that if Jesus is not "the Christ, the Son of the living God", then there is no solid foundation upon which to build the church.
