Matthew 17:1-13; Listen to Jesus -Stephen Feinstein

The sermon centers on the Transfiguration of Jesus as a divine revelation of His identity, calling believers to listen to and obey Him above all other voices. Through a detailed examination of Matthew 17:1–13, the preacher establishes that Jesus is God incarnate—demonstrated by His radiant transfiguration, the appearance of Moses and Elijah, and the Father's voice declaring Him His beloved Son, with the command to 'listen to Him.' This moment confirms Jesus as the ultimate prophet, priest, and king, fulfilling Old Testament promises and defeating spiritual darkness, particularly at the site associated with demonic rebellion. The sermon emphasizes that Jesus' divine nature and perfect knowledge make His teachings authoritative, especially regarding His upcoming suffering and resurrection, which the disciples struggled to accept. Ultimately, the text calls for unwavering trust in Jesus, who alone provides salvation, moral direction, and hope for eternal life, urging both believers and unbelievers to turn to Him in faith and obedience.
