The Transfiguration
This sermon explains that the Transfiguration in Matthew 17 reveals Jesus’ true divine glory and marks a turning point from his popularity toward the suffering and death that will follow, confirming that he is the beloved Son of God to whom we must listen. Pastor Mike highlights how the overwhelming vision of Jesus, along with the appearance of Moses and Elijah, assures the disciples that all of God’s law and prophets point to him and prepares them for the trials ahead. Ultimately, the message emphasizes that in moments of fear, confusion, and uncertainty, Jesus moves toward his people, lifts them up, and calls them to fix their eyes on him alone as the crucified and risen Savior.
