Transfiguration: The Big Reveal 2.15.26 8am

This sermon explores the Transfiguration of Jesus as recorded in Mark 9, emphasizing how this mountaintop experience revealed Jesus' true divine identity to Peter, James, and John. Pastor Ben explains that Jesus didn't change in that moment—rather, He revealed who He has always been: God in the flesh, the image of the invisible God. The sermon connects the Transfiguration to the approaching Lenten season, showing how this revelation prepared the disciples (and prepares us) for understanding Jesus' journey to Jerusalem and the cross. The message challenges listeners to see Jesus clearly—not merely as a great teacher or holy man, but as divine Lord and Savior. It calls for genuine repentance and transformation, leaving behind sin to experience God's renewal and living water. The Transfiguration serves as a "spoiler" to the rest of the story, revealing that Jesus has the power, ability, and will to save us, and that victory is assured through His death and resurrection.
