3.10.2024 "Mark 9: The Transfiguration"

Jesus once revealed his full glory to His disciples. It was called "The Transfiguration." In this moment, the disciples saw what no man had ever seen, what not even Moses - who spoke to YHWH "as a friend" had seen. The same cloud, thunder, and lightning that descended upon Mt. Sinai in Exodus 19 descended once again - on Jesus.This is the kind of God we prefer. One who displays His power dramatically! One who exudes power to accomplish His tasks. One who will blow back and overpower the opposition.But Jesus doesn't stay on the mountain. Instead, He insists they leave and tell no one. What's this about? Why does Jesus return from the mountain? Why doesn't He continue to demonstrate His power - as He revealed it to Peter, James, and John? More personally - why doesn't He act with power in our lives?Listen, as Pastor Kevin tackles these questions and considers the calling of Christ on all our lives.
