What does it really mean to be great in the Kingdom of Heaven? Jesus flips our definition of greatness completely upside down.In this message, Lead Pastor Dillion Neely kicks off our brand new sermon series Book of Matthew: People of the Kingdom with a foundational teaching from Matthew 18:1-14, 19:13-15.After Peter's confession and the Mount of Transfiguration, the disciples ask Jesus one question: "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" Jesus answers by calling a child into the middle of them and saying, "Unless you humble yourself like this child, you will never enter the kingdom."This is the greatest discourse in Scripture on Christian community. Christianity isn't just a vertical relationship with God — it has horizontal implications for how we live with each other.If you've ever struggled with pride, comparison, secret sin, or wondering how to actually live out your faith with other people, this message is for you.

Experience the divine revelation of Christ's true nature and the moment that left the disciples in awe of His glory.In this powerful episode, the disciples witness the awe-inspiring Transfiguration of Jesus, revealing His divine glory and the fulfillment of prophecy. As Jesus is affirmed as the Son of God, the disciples are left to ponder the profound significance of what they have seen.Today's Bible verse is Luke 9:35, from the King James Version.Download the ⁠Pray.com⁠ app for more Christian content including, Daily Prayers, Inspirational Testimonies, and Bedtime Bible Stories.Pray.com is the digital destination for faith.

This is a SALTY one — lovingly, of course.Can you be religious and psychic? Can you study psychic development, talk to Spirit, trust your intuition, and still believe in God?Today I address one of the biggest questions viewers have asked: How do I talk to my Christian or Catholic family about studying psychic development? In this deeply personal episode of the Constance Messmer Podcast, I speak to those who feel torn between their religious background and their intuitive gifts, especially when family members or friends question their interest in psychic development, mediumship, spirit communication, and the 11 Soul Senses.I'll explore the topics of religion, mediumship, talking to spirits, the Holy Spirit, Jesus, the Transfiguration, Joan of Arc, Mother Mary, angels, guides, and Source Energy — all while reminding you not to lose yourself because someone else is uncomfortable with your spiritual path.I remind you that discernment MATTERS. Look at the fruits of the connection. Is it accurate, helpful, kind, loving, peaceful, and for the highest good? Your Soul Senses are not something to fear — they are a part of who God made you to be.

Host Jeff Shepard explores the dramatic account of the two witnesses in the book of Revelation, unpacking what their coming means for the last days and what listeners should expect from this pivotal passage. Topics covered include the timeline (42 months / 1,260 days / three and a half years), the witnesses' symbolic sackcloth attire, and the extraordinary powers God grants them—fire from their mouths, authority to shut the sky and withhold rain, turning waters to blood, and sending plagues—alongside clear parallels to the ministries of Moses and Elijah. Jeff explains why the witnesses' identities remain unknown, emphasizing that their authority comes from God rather than personal fame, and highlights the significance of there being two witnesses in light of the biblical requirement that truth be established by two or three testimonies. The episode covers the intense public response to their ministry—how the world is tormented by their testimony, the rise of the beast from the abyss, the witnesses' martyrdom, the three and a half days their bodies lie exposed, and their subsequent resurrection and ascension, which vindicates God's messengers and echoes the pattern of Christ's death, resurrection, and ascension. There are no outside guests; Jeff Shepard guides listeners through the text, drawing theological connections (including a possible link to the Mount of Transfiguration) and practical application: the account is both future history and a present call to repentance and faith in Jesus, who remains the faithful witness and source of hope and salvation.

1 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. 4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. 7 But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.” 8 When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.9 Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead.”10 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”11 Jesus answered and said to them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things. 12 But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the July 27th episode of the Daily Radio Bible. On this 209th day of our journey through the Scriptures, Hunter, your Bible reading coach, invites you to warm yourself by the fires of God's love and discover the living word that points us to Christ. Today, our readings take us through Isaiah 50-52, Psalm 92, and 2 Peter 1, where we encounter declarations of hope, justice, and a call to courageous faith rooted in the unshakeable love of God. As Hunter reflects on Peter's confidence from the Mount of Transfiguration, you'll be encouraged to trust in God's promises, experience His love, and find renewed courage for your journey. Join us as we listen, pray, and remember together: you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Need a confidence boost. Peter's experience on the Mount of Transfiguration filled him with confidence. He recalled that experience here in our reading in Second Peter, verse 19, when he says, because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message we proclaim by the prophets. Hearing the voice of God built his confidence. What he heard was God's declaration of love for his son. God's voice broke out and said, this is my Son, whom I love. With him, I am well pleased. Listen to him. Peter is still drawing confidence from this word, this declaration of God's love for his Son. Peter is drawing confidence from this experience because there he was awakened to the love of God. In John 17, Jesus is speaking to the Father and he says, I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. This was starting to happen for Peter, this realization that God loved him just as he loved Jesus the Son. And this truth would begin to take hold and take root in Peter's life. It was this knowledge and experience of God's love that gave him confidence to move forward. Have you experienced the love of the Father? Experiencing His love transforms us from the inside out. It gives us confidence. It gives us courage to move forward. If you're feeling unconfident, that's okay. Just listen to the words proclaimed over Jesus: you are God's child and you are loved. That seed will take some time to grow in your life, just as it did with Peter. But allow the Holy Spirit to nurture this reality in your life and grow. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Episode 4189 │ July 26, 2026 Is trust a choice or a fruit? You cannot trust someone unless you're convinced they love you. Most Christians have never settled that about God. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS  Scott Kesterson and Brad Cummings open with the single question that reframes everything: is trust a choice or a fruit — and Brad's answer, that trust is a fruit grown only in a relationship where you are convinced the other person loves you and seeks your highest good at all times, dismantles the entire Old Covenant performance framework that most American Christianity is still running on and replaces it with the New Covenant reality that God has no illusions about you, was never disappointed in you, and is not running a self-improvement program but a conforming-to-the-image-of-His-Son program that He promised to finish. The episode moves through Peter, James, and John as three distinct relational postures toward Christ — the director, the beloved, the warrior — and their presence at the Mount of Transfiguration as preparation not for doctrine but for vision; the two storms on the Sea of Galilee as a live diagnostic of what you actually believe about the heart of God; the definition of humility as simple agreement with God rather than self-deprecation; and Brad's definition of repentance as returning to the highest place from which you have fallen, not groveling at the bottom of it. The episode closes on Hebrews 12 — fixing your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross — and Brad's closing prayer that God would give every listener a vision of how He actually sees them, because as a man thinks in his heart, so is he, and the greatest transformation available is not discipline but the tractor beam of God's presence pulling you toward who He already knows you to be. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED  Is trust a choice or a fruit — and why does Brad argue that you cannot manufacture trust toward God through willpower or decision-making, only receive it as a fruit grown in a relationship where you are genuinely convinced He loves you and seeks your highest good at all times, even on your worst day? What does the tone of voice you insert into Jesus saying "O you of little faith" reveal about what you actually believe about the heart of God — and why does Hebrews 1 make the good cop/bad cop reading of the Old versus New Testament theologically impossible? What is the difference between an Old Covenant response to sin and a New Covenant response — and why does Brad argue that going to God with your failure, asking Him what happened and inviting Him to fix it, produces transformation that decades of self-improvement, discipline, and performance never could?

There are only TWO kingdoms in this world — the Kingdom of Heaven and the kingdom of darkness. Which one are you living in?In this powerful message, Pastor Damion Cooper continues our sermon series Book of Matthew: Reality of the Kingdom with a message titled "A Different Kind of Kingdom" from Matthew 17:14-27.After coming down from the Mount of Transfiguration, Jesus encounters a desperate father, powerless disciples, and a broken boy — revealing what it really takes to live in the reality of God's Kingdom. This is not Chiefs Kingdom, this is the KINGDOM that has all authority, all power, and moves when we speak the name of Jesus.If you've been battling doubt, spiritual warfare, or feeling powerless in your faith, this message will reignite your boldness and remind you that faith the size of a mustard seed moves mountains.

Who is Jesus? 7.26.26 Dr. Jeff Dowdy Mark 9:1-13

Friends of the Rosary,Today, July 25, is traditionally the Feast of St. James, the Apostle, known as the Greater, in order to distinguish him from the other Apostle St. James. Jesus called him Boanerges, "son of thunder."James the Greater was our Lord's cousin (an old legend states that Salome, his mother, was a sister of Mary), and John the Evangelist's brother and the son of Zebedee, the fisherman from Galilee. With Peter and John, he was one of the witnesses of the Transfiguration, and later of the agony in the garden. He was beheaded in Jerusalem in the year 42 or 43 A.D. by King Herod Agrippa, becoming the first apostle to give his life for proclaiming Christ.In Spain, his magnificent shrine at Santiago de Compostela has been a place of pilgrimage since the ninth century, through el Camino, "the Way of St. James". After the pilgrimage to Rome or the Holy Land, it is the most famous and the most frequented pilgrimage in Christendom. The paths to Compostella form a network over Europe; they are dotted with hospices and chapels.Saint James is a powerful saint for today because he shows both human ambition and holy transformation.In today's Gospel (Matthew 20:20-28), Jesus tells James and John that greatness in His Kingdom is not about status, but service: “Whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant.” The glory comes through the chalice — suffering, sacrifice, and service. Saint James followed that path all the way to martyrdom.Staying close to Jesus, we will see how He will turn our ambition into mission.Saint James, pray for us!Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Carson and Roger continue a 3-part series called “These Three,” focused on monumental moments in the lives of Peter, James, and John. In this episode, the transfiguration.

Full Text of Readings Feast of Saint James, Apostle Lectionary: 605 The Saint of the day is Saint James Saint James' Story This James is the brother of John the Evangelist. The two were called by Jesus as they worked with their father in a fishing boat on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus had already called another pair of brothers from a similar occupation: Peter and Andrew. “He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending their nets. Then he called them. So they left their father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him” (Mark 1:19-20). Saint James was one of the favored three who had the privilege of witnessing the Transfiguration, the raising to life of the daughter of Jairus, and the agony in Gethsemani. Two incidents in the Gospels describe the temperament of this man and his brother. Saint Matthew tells that their mother came—Mark says it was the brothers themselves—to ask that they have the seats of honor in the kingdom. “Jesus said in reply, ‘You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink?' They said to him, ‘We can'” (Matthew 20:22). Jesus then told them they would indeed drink the cup and share his baptism of pain and death, but that sitting at his right hand or left was not his to give—it “is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father” (Matthew 20:23b). It remained to be seen how long it would take to realize the implications of their confident “We can!” The other disciples became indignant at the ambition of James and John. Then Jesus taught them all the lesson of humble service: The purpose of authority is to serve. They are not to impose their will on others, or lord it over them. This is the position of Jesus himself. He was the servant of all; the service imposed on him was the supreme sacrifice of his own life. On another occasion, James and John gave evidence that the nickname Jesus gave them—“sons of thunder”—was an apt one. The Samaritans would not welcome Jesus because he was on his way to hated Jerusalem. “When the disciples James and John saw this they asked, ‘Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?' Jesus turned and rebuked them…” (Luke 9:54-55). Saint James was apparently the first of the apostles to be martyred. “About that time King Herod laid hands upon some members of the church to harm them. He had James, the brother of John, killed by the sword, and when he saw that this was pleasing to the Jews he proceeded to arrest Peter also” (Acts 12:1-3a). This Saint James, sometimes called James the Greater, is not to be confused with James the Lesser or with the author of the Letter of James and the leader of the Jerusalem community. Reflection The way the Gospels treat the apostles is a good reminder of what holiness is all about. There is very little about their virtues as static possessions, entitling them to heavenly reward. Rather, the great emphasis is on the Kingdom, on God's giving them the power to proclaim the Good News. As far as their personal lives are concerned, there is much about Jesus' purifying them of narrowness, pettiness, fickleness. From James there is much to learn still.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Pastor Dominic continues our sermon series in the Gospel of Matthew, preaching from Matthew 17:1-13. In this message, he examines the pivotal moment of the Transfiguration, where Jesus reveals His divine glory to Peter, James, and John. Focusing on the significance of this encounter, Pastor Dominic explores five key lessons from the Transfiguration that shape how we view Jesus, how we walk in faith, and the importance of listening to His voice above all others. As we navigate a world full of competing voices, this passage reminds us that everything in Scripture ultimately points to Jesus, who is our redeemer, our savior, and the only foundation upon which we can build our lives.

What happened on the Mount of Transfiguration? In Matthew 17:1-13, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a high mountain and reveals His true glory - His face shining like the sun, His clothes white as light.Pastor Dillon Neely continues our sermon series Book of Matthew: Reality of the Kingdom with a powerful look at the reality that Jesus is real, His Kingdom is real, and His glory transforms everything.In this message, you'll discover:> Why Jesus is the greater Moses and the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets> What the Transfiguration reveals about the true identity of Jesus Christ> Why God the Father said "This is my beloved Son... listen to Him"

Polo Kim | Luke 9:28-36 | In this look at the Transfiguration, we discover that real glory comes through suffering—and that Jesus doesn't just want us to admire that glory from a distance, but to be transformed by it ourselves.

Matthew 17:1-13

At Jesus' transfiguration, his disciples got a glimpse into the heavenly realm and the glory of the Son of God. Join us in Matthew 17:1-13 for a unique glimpse of who Jesus is. Jesus is the delight of the FatherJesus is worth listening toJesus is our answer before a holy GodJesus is the fulfillment of God's planJesus is the proof of God's promises 

The sermon centers on the Gospel of Luke chapter 9, specifically the Transfiguration, to argue that the true essence of God's kingdom is the glory of Jesus Christ rather than theological debates or personal achievement. The preacher identifies three imperatives for believers: to see Christ's glory, to believe in Him by faith, and to hear His voice through Scripture. By contrasting the disciples' experience with modern church distractions, the message challenges listeners to shift their focus from self-glory and performance to a singular devotion to Jesus. The speaker warns against spiritual laziness and pride, using biblical examples like Samson to illustrate the danger of losing sight of divine glory. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a transformative commitment where believers allow Christ's majesty to shape their behavior and witness.

Is your own experience with God more reliable than His Word? Pastor Russell Howard takes us Beyond the Notes from this week's sermon on the Transfiguration, unpacking Peter's account in 2 Peter 1 of standing on the mountain and witnessing Christ's glory firsthand. He walks through why Peter, despite that extraordinary experience, still pointed to Scripture as the more certain guide for what we believe and how we live. You'll walk away with a clear, biblical way to think about your own spiritual experiences: real, meaningful, but never the final authority. This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered how to weigh what they've felt or seen against what God has said.

Prolife dimensions of the Feast of St. Mary Magdalene and of the Transfiguration

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues our series on Mark.In chapter 9, Peter's standing on a mountain, watching Jesus' face turn to light, and two men who'd been dead for centuries talk to him like it's nothing. And his response is to suggest they build some tents to try and keep the moment going a little longer.It's such a human reaction. We reach for control, for a bigger role, and try to fill the silence instead of sitting in it.Then a voice comes out of the cloud with a command. And what it means for Peter, and for us, is worth hearing all the way through.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on July 12, 2026, at 10:30am.

Debbie continues our new series, Awe + Wonder, with a study of the Transfiguration of Jesus.

Just days after speaking about the cross, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a mountain where they witness something unforgettable. For a brief moment, the veil is pulled back, and they see Jesus in His divine glory.The Transfiguration reminds us that the suffering Jesus is also the glorious Son of God. Before the disciples walk toward Jerusalem, they are given a glimpse of where the story is headed.Join us as we explore how God's glory strengthens us for seasons of difficulty, why Jesus stands above every other voice, and what it means to truly listen to Him.

In this episode, Bishop Mark Brown unpacks Mark chapter 9, revealing how God prepares believers for greater responsibility through revelation, faith, prayer, humility, and obedience. Jesus first takes His disciples to the Mount of Transfiguration, where they experience His glory before being sent into the challenges of ministry. The lesson is clear: private encounters with God produce public authority, and God reveals who He is before He reveals what He wants us to do. As Jesus descends into the valley, He encounters a father seeking deliverance for his son. When the disciples are unable to cast out the spirit, Jesus teaches that some victories come only through prayer. Faith is not the absence of doubt but bringing our doubts to Christ. Yesterday's victories cannot sustain today's assignment, every new level requires a deeper dependence on God. Jesus then prepares His disciples for His coming death, reminding them that God often reveals our destination before we fully understand the journey. He also redefines greatness by teaching that true leadership is found in humility and service, not position or recognition. Finally, Jesus reminds His followers that the Kingdom is greater than any one ministry or organization, calling believers to celebrate what God is doing through others rather than compete with them. This episode encourages listeners to embrace the process of spiritual growth, understanding that the mountain prepares us for the valley, prayer prepares us for power, humility prepares us for influence, and every encounter with God is ultimately preparation for His purpose.

Pastor Jared delivers a message on the Transfiguration of Jesus from Luke 9:28-36, exploring the significance of Moses and Elijah appearing with Jesus. He connects the event to Old Testament prophecies and emphasizes that Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. The sermon concludes with a warning against idolizing people or ministries, urging listeners to focus on Jesus and read the Bible for themselves.

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's reading brings us back to 2 Peter 1, where Peter points the church to something more solid than personal experience: the Word of God. Peter had seen the glory of Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration, heard the voice of the Father, and witnessed majesty with his own eyes—yet he still directs believers to the prophetic Word as a lamp shining in a dark place.2 Peter 1 reminds us that Scripture is not man's opinion about God; it is the Word of God carried along by the Holy Spirit. The same voice that spoke on the mountain is the voice that speaks through the Scriptures. So today, read 2 Peter 1 and pay attention to the Word: open it, hear it, trust it, and let the voice of God shine light into every dark place.

In this message, we'll look at a preview of Jesus' Second Coming that He provides for three of His disciples. In doing so, we'll consider what it means for us to behold the promise of Christ's future glory for the purposes of enduring through our present sufferings. Scripture: Matthew 17:1-13

NT: Luke 9:37-50After the Transfiguration . . .

Pastor Connor Johnson July 5, 2026 Mark 9:2-13

From Eden to the Mount of Transfiguration, Leon du Preez reveals the mystery of light bodies, garments of glory, and the divine substance God placed within man. This message opens the thread of uncreated light through Genesis, Moses, Adam, the tabernacle, Jesus, Stephen, and the believer's new creation identity. Darkness is exposed when light is carried. Glory is released when faith responds. The body was never meant to imprison the spirit, but to become a vessel through which Christ shines. Step into the revelation of what was lost in Eden, restored in Christ, and destined to be revealed again.

John and Jeremy team up to recap what the kids learned during VBS, "Mountain Movers," a couple weeks ago. What can adults learn from Mt. Sinai, Mt. Carmel, and The Mount of Transfiguration?We sing some VBS songs that kids will enjoy too!

What do you do when faith feels impossible? In Matthew 17, Jesus reveals His glory on the mountain before stepping into a valley filled with fear, suffering and doubt. Through the Transfiguration and the healing of a demon possessed boy, we are reminded that Jesus is greater than our circumstances and worthy of our trust. Faith isn't pretending to have all the answers or never struggling with doubt. It's bringing our honest hearts to Jesus and trusting Him even when life doesn't make sense. When we fix our eyes on Christ instead of our circumstances, we discover that what seems impossible for us is never impossible for Him.

Full Text of Readings The Saint of the day is Saints Peter and Paul Saints Peter and Paul's Story Peter (d. 64?) Saint Mark ends the first half of his Gospel with a triumphant climax. He has recorded doubt, misunderstanding, and the opposition of many to Jesus. Now Peter makes his great confession of faith: “You are the Messiah” (Mark 8:29b). It was one of the many glorious moments in Peter's life, beginning with the day he was called from his nets along the Sea of Galilee to become a fisher of men for Jesus. The New Testament clearly shows Peter as the leader of the apostles, chosen by Jesus to have a special relationship with him. With James and John he was privileged to witness the Transfiguration, the raising of a dead child to life, and the agony in Gethsemane. His mother-in-law was cured by Jesus. He was sent with John to prepare for the last Passover before Jesus' death. His name is first on every list of apostles. And to Peter only did Jesus say, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 16:17b-19). But the Gospels prove their own trustworthiness by the unflattering details they include about Peter. He clearly had no public relations person. It is a great comfort for ordinary mortals to know that Peter also has his human weakness, even in the presence of Jesus. He generously gave up all things, yet he can ask in childish self-regard, “What are we going to get for all this?” (see Matthew 19:27). He receives the full force of Christ's anger when he objects to the idea of a suffering Messiah: “Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do” (Matthew 16:23b). Peter is willing to accept Jesus' doctrine of forgiveness, but suggests a limit of seven times. He walks on the water in faith, but sinks in doubt. He refuses to let Jesus wash his feet, then wants his whole body cleansed. He swears at the Last Supper that he will never deny Jesus, and then swears to a servant maid that he has never known the man. He loyally resists the first attempt to arrest Jesus by cutting off Malchus' ear, but in the end he runs away with the others. In the depth of his sorrow, Jesus looks on him and forgives him, and he goes out and sheds bitter tears. The Risen Jesus told Peter to feed his lambs and his sheep (John 21:15-17). Paul (d. 64?) If the most well-known preacher today suddenly began preaching that the United States should adopt Marxism and not rely on the Constitution, the angry reaction would help us understand Paul's life when he started preaching that Christ alone can save us. He had been the most pharisaic of Pharisees, the most legalistic of Mosaic lawyers. Now he suddenly appears to other Jews as a heretical welcomer of Gentiles, a traitor and apostate. Paul's central conviction was simple and absolute: Only God can save humanity. No human effort—even the most scrupulous observance of law—can create a human good which we can bring to God as reparation for sin and payment for grace. To be saved from itself, from sin, from the devil, and from death, humanity must open itself completely to the saving power of Jesus. Paul never lost his love for his Jewish family, though he carried on a lifelong debate with them about the uselessness of the Law without Christ. He reminded the Gentiles that they were grafted on the parent stock of the Jews, who were still God's chosen people, the children of the promise. Reflection We would probably go to confession to Peter sooner than to any of the other apostles. He is perhaps a more striking example of the simple fact of holiness. Jesus says to us as he said, in effect, to Peter: “It is not you who have chosen me, but I who have chosen you. Peter, it is not human wisdom that makes it possible for you to believe, but my Father's revelation. I, not you, build my Church.” Paul's experience of the risen Jesus on the road to Damascus was the driving force that made him one of the most zealous, dynamic, and courageous ambassadors of Christ the Church has ever had. But persecution, humiliation, and weakness became his day-by-day carrying of the cross, material for further transformation. The dying Christ was in him; the living Christ was his life.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

In this message from Mark 9:1–10, Pastor Olu invites us to slow down and behold the glory of Christ through the account of the Transfiguration. As part of our Fear of God series, this sermon explores how fearing God begins with seeing Him rightly. Contrasting Peter's impulse to build with the Father's command to "listen to Him," we're reminded that our first response to God's glory is not frantic activity but attentive worship. Discover how beholding Christ transforms us, why the cross is the fullest revelation of God's glory, and how Jesus invites us from striving into His presence.GRACE CAPITAL CITY: "Reaching, raising, and releasing disciples for the glory of the King and the coming of His Kingdom."www.gracecapitalcity.com | @gracecapitalcitySunday Gatherings at 10 am | Miracle Theater | 535 8th St SE, Washington, DC  

Luke 9:27-36 - Transfiguration

In the movie John Q, Denzel Washington plays a desperate father whose son needs a life-saving transplant his insurance will not cover. Pushed to the edge, he takes an entire emergency room hostage in a last-ditch effort to save his child. He was so devoted and determined that he became faithfully fixated on getting his son the help, hope, and healing he needed. That is what loving fathers do. They are willing to go the extra mile, make the extra sacrifice, and even go to extreme measures to help their children.In a real sense, the father in Matthew 17 has the same heart. He approaches Jesus after coming down from the Mount of Transfiguration, kneels before him, and begs for mercy for his son who suffers from debilitating seizures. This father's situation had likely triggered a cascade of fear, frustration, and helplessness. Yet, his handling of this crisis reveals powerful habits of love and faith. As we celebrate fathers, this story teaches us what it means to advocate for our loved ones and trust God when all other systems fail.

Edgar Morin, philosophe, sociologue, épistémologue, résistant, cinéphile, centenaire. Il est mort le 29 mai 2026 à 104 ans. Son dernier livre s'appelait Leçons d'un siècle de vie.J'avais son contact depuis le début de VLAN. On a des gens en commun. Et je n'ai jamais osé décrocher le téléphone, par peur de déranger. Chaque année, je me disais : non, cette fois c'est trop. Jusqu'à ce qu'il soit trop tard. C'est la leçon la plus bête et la plus douloureuse que je retienne de sa disparition.Cet épisode solo est un hommage. Je me suis plongé dans ses dernières conférences et dans Leçons d'un siècle de vie pour en tirer trois idées fondamentales et trois leçons de vie. Pas des recettes, pas des listes à appliquer. Edgar Morin lui-même aurait détesté ça. Plutôt ce que sa pensée a changé dans ma façon de regarder le monde, l'IA, la complexité, l'amour, et ce qu'on appelle l'avenir.Dans cet épisode, je parle de la pensée complexe, de l'homo demens, de la transfiguration, de la poly-identité, de la navigation dans l'incertitude, et de ce qu'il appelait l'état poétique. J'aborde aussi ce que ça dit de l'intelligence artificielle, de la mondialisation ratée, et du mouvement des Gilets Jaunes.CITATIONS MARQUANTES"Toute vie est une navigation dans un océan d'incertitude à travers quelques îles ou archipels de certitude où on peut se ravitailler." — Edgar Morin"Je sens que j'approche des limites de la vie, mais je crois que le sentiment d'essayer d'être utile et de continuer à vivre dans les ferveurs de la poésie, de la vie, tout ceci m'entretient bien." — Edgar Morin"Ceux qui croient comprendre tous les problèmes humains uniquement à partir de l'économie oublient la religion, la foi, l'amour, qui ne relèvent absolument pas du calcul économique." — Edgar Morin"La poésie de la vie, suprêmement, c'est l'amour." — Edgar Morin"En sachant que vous êtes un moment dans cette aventure et que vous y participez. Alors essayez d'y participer de la meilleure façon." — Edgar Morin (à ses ~100 ans, sur comment garder confiance)IDÉES CENTRALES 1. L'erreur n'est pas un bug, c'est le moteur de la pensée (~07:19)Morin défend que toute connaissance est une traduction suivie d'une reconstruction. Il n'y a pas de différence fondamentale entre une perception et une hallucination. L'erreur a trois sources : le malentendu, la partialité et l'idéalisme. Ce troisième type est le plus redoutable : les idées qui finissent par nous gouverner non pas parce qu'on nous les impose, mais parce qu'on y croit sincèrement. Le solutionnisme technologique, la croissance comme valeur absolue, l'économie elle-même sont des exemples de cette servitude volontaire. Ce qui est frappant chez Morin, c'est qu'il distingue les erreurs fructueuses des erreurs stériles, et qu'il les analyse au lieu de les nier.2. L'humain est un oxymore sur pattes (~11:28)Morin refuse la flatterie envers l'espèce humaine. Il ne parle pas seulement d'homo sapiens mais d'homo demens, homo faber, homo mythologicus, homo economicus, homo ludens. Nous sommes tout ça en même temps, et c'est précisément cette contradiction qui nous permet d'aimer, de créer et d'espérer. Vouloir "optimiser" l'humain pour en retirer la part irrationnelle, comme le promettent certains projets d'IA ou de transhumanisme, c'est aussi retirer ce qui donne envie du futur.3. La dialogique : deux vérités opposées peuvent être simultanément vraies (~13:15)La mondialisation est la meilleure et la pire chose arrivée à l'humanité. Pour la première fois, tous les êtres humains partagent une communauté de destin. Et ce même processus conduit à des catastrophes écologiques, économiques et démographiques. Tenir cette tension sans la résoudre artificiellement, c'est ce que Morin appelle la dialogique. Dans un monde où les réseaux sociaux récompensent les positions tranchées, refuser de simplifier ce qui ne peut pas l'être est un acte de résistance.4. La transfiguration : le changement vient de l'intérieur des systèmes (~15:03)Juan Carlos élevé dans le franquisme qui devient garant de la démocratie espagnole. Gorbatchev apparatchik qui se transforme en humaniste planétaire. Le pape François, évêque conformiste qui renoue avec le message évangélique. Morin appelle ça la transfiguration : un travail souterrain de la conscience qui peut surgir brusquement. Dans une époque où l'on a l'impression de ne rien pouvoir faire face à Trump ou Musk, cette idée donne de l'espoir concret.5. L'état poétique comme hygiène de vie (~24:35)Survivre, c'est respirer et se nourrir. Vivre, c'est conduire sa vie avec ses risques et ses possibilités de jouissance. L'état poétique, c'est cet état second que l'on obtient dans un échange de sourire, devant un paysage, à l'écoute d'une symphonie ou lors d'une conversation qui dure trop longtemps sur une terrasse. Morin disait qu'à 99 ans, il entrait encore en trance dès les premières mesures du premier mouvement de la 9e de Beethoven. La question que ça me pose : est-ce que je me laisse toucher comme ça, dans un monde dopé à la dopamine ?QUESTIONS STRUCTURANTES DE L'ÉPISODEQu'est-ce que la pensée complexe et pourquoi les réponses simples à des questions complexes sont-elles des mensonges bienveillants ?Comment un esprit intelligent peut-il se laisser posséder par une idée fausse ?Quelle est la différence entre une erreur fructueuse et une erreur stérile ?Pourquoi l'homo demens, la part de folie humaine, n'est pas un défaut à corriger mais une ressource ?Qu'est-ce que la dialogique et pourquoi deux vérités opposées peuvent-elles être simultanément vraies ?Qu'est-ce que la transfiguration et quand est-ce qu'elle se produit dans l'histoire ?Qu'est-ce qu'une poly-identité et en quoi l'accepter améliore les relations humaines ?Comment naviguer dans l'incertitude sans verser dans le fatalisme ou le naïf optimisme ?Quelle est la différence entre survivre et vivre, selon Morin ?Qu'est-ce que l'état poétique et comment le retrouver dans un monde saturé d'informations ?RÉFÉRENCES CITÉESLivresLeçons d'un siècle de vie — Edgar Morin (source principale de l'épisode) [~02:52]L'autocritique — Edgar Morin (sur comment un esprit intelligent se laisse posséder par une idée) [~09:08]Penseurs et citationsLa Boétie — concept de "servitude volontaire" [~08:23]Oscar Wilde — "La vérité pure est simple... elle est très rarement pure et jamais simple."

Depuis dix ans que j'avais son contact, j'ai toujours eu peur de déranger. Il est mort à 104 ans. Cet épisode est l'hommage que j'aurais voulu lui rendre en direct.02:52 — Qui était vraiment Edgar Morin ?Né Edgar Nahum en 1921, "Morin" est un pseudonyme de résistant. Sociologue, philosophe, cinéphile, amoureux à répétition, il a traversé le krach de 29, le nazisme, le stalinisme, mai 68, le Covid et l'IA. Une vie impossible à résumer mais fascinante à suivre.04:39 — La pensée complexe expliquée simplementMorin casse l'approche analytique héritée des Lumières. La réalité humaine, une relation, une économie : ça ne se démêle pas fil par fil. Quand on tire sur un fil, les autres bougent. C'est précisément ce que j'essaie de faire sur Vlan depuis le début.07:19 — L'erreur est inséparable de la connaissanceTrois sources : le malentendu, la partialité, et l'idéalisme. Ce troisième type est le plus dangereux : ce sont les idées qui nous gouvernent parce qu'on y croit sincèrement. Morin lui-même en a été victime à 21 ans avec le communisme.11:28 — Homo sapiens + homo demensL'humain n'est pas rationnel. Il est aussi fou, créateur de mythes, joueur, voué au profit. Vouloir effacer cette part irrationnelle, c'est le projet de toutes les utopies qui ont dégénéré en dystopie. Et c'est ce que certains projets autour de l'IA rejouent aujourd'hui.15:03 — La transfiguration : l'espoir vient de l'intérieurJuan Carlos, Gorbatchev, le pape François. Des figures formées dans des systèmes fermés qui, une fois au pouvoir, ont retourné la situation pour l'humanité. Ce travail souterrain de la conscience peut surgir brusquement. C'est peut-être la chose la plus rassurante que j'ai lue depuis longtemps.17:43 — L'identité est toujours plurielleÀ la question "qui es-tu ?", Morin répondait "un être humain." Il vivait sa poly-identité non comme une anomalie mais comme une richesse. Dans un monde où l'appartenance à un groupe exige l'exclusion des autres, c'est un exemple à suivre.20:07 — Toute vie est une navigation dans l'incertitudeNé quasi mort-né, orphelin à 10 ans, résistant, exilé... Et à 88 ans, il rencontre sa dernière femme au Festival de Fès par hasard total. Chaque malchance peut devenir une chance. Et chaque chance porte en elle une malchance future.24:35 — Survivre vs vivre : l'état poétiqueLa survie est nécessaire à la vie. Mais une vie réduite à la survie, ce n'est plus la vie. L'état poétique, c'est l'émotion devant ce qui nous touche : un sourire, un paysage, une symphonie, une conversation sur une terrasse. À 99 ans, Morin entrait encore en trance dès les premières mesures de la 9e de Beethoven.29:07 — Ce que les Gilets Jaunes demandaient vraimentCe n'était pas seulement une revendication économique. C'était une demande d'existence, de reconnaissance, de dignité. Et le fait que ce mouvement ait été tué dans l'œuf sans qu'on écoute ce qu'il voulait dire, on va le payer longtemps.31:19 — Ce que Morin change dans ma façon de voir le mondeLa complexité, l'homo demens face à l'IA, et la poésie de la vie. Et une dernière citation à ne pas oublier : "Essayez d'y participer de la meilleure façon." Prononcée à une centaine d'années. Difficile de trouver mieux.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Stasi invites Blaine Eldredge, our Director of Spiritual Formation at Wild at Heart, for a conversation about recapturing beauty—not the exhausting beauty our culture demands, but the deeply personal beauty that originates in the heart of God.

In this bonus episode of Makers & Mystics, Stephen Roach revisits The Pace of Beauty series with artist and designer Jennifer Sturrock. Drawing from her background in couture, contemporary art, and theological study, Jennifer shares how fabric and materiality have become a framework for exploring deeper questions of identity, mystery, and communion with God. What begins as a conversation about textiles and clothing unfolds into a rich exploration of the Transfiguration, the symbolism of garments throughout Scripture, and the ways beauty reveals truths that often remain hidden beneath the surface.Stephen and Jen discuss the theological significance of clothing and how fashion can function as both concealment and revelation. Jennifer reflects on her own artistic practice, including large-scale textile installations that invite viewers into contemplation, mystery, and embodied ways of knowing.The conversation also explores Jennifer's idea of "rewilding the creative soul,” embracing vulnerability, and discovering the beauty that emerges when people become more fully themselves.Highlights:• Jennifer's journey from fashion and textile design into theology and contemporary art • How the Transfiguration shaped her artistic and theological imagination • Fashion as language  • Art as a practice of mystery, contemplation, and unknowingAbout Jennifer SturrockJennifer Sturrock is a Scottish multidisciplinary artist, designer, curator, and researcher whose work integrates couture, installation art, and poetry.

Have you ever believed the right things about Jesus but still struggled to experience a life that reflects Him? In Luke 9, the Transfiguration reveals Jesus as the Son of God, the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, and the only One worthy of our complete trust and devotion. In this message, George Terry explores one of the most profound moments in the Gospel of Luke, showing that recognizing who Jesus truly is is more than an intellectual belief. It is an invitation to build your entire life around Him. When we behold His glory, our hearts are transformed, our faith becomes personal, and we are sent to live and proclaim the gospel with confidence.• Jesus is the complete and final revelation of God, greater than every prophet and worthy of our worship.• Real faith moves beyond knowing facts about Jesus to personally trusting Him and surrendering every area of life to His authority.• Encountering the glory of Christ transforms us and compels us to faithfully proclaim the gospel, even when it requires sacrifice.Key Scriptures:Luke 9:28–36Luke 9:18–272 Corinthians 3:18Hebrews 1:1–3John 14:7–9How is Jesus inviting you to move from simply knowing about Him to truly following Him? Spend time this week listening to His voice through Scripture and asking Him to transform your heart. If this message encouraged you, share it with a friend or family member who needs to be reminded of who Jesus really is.Bayou City Fellowship Spring Branch Campus | George Terry | June 7, 2026https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship

Government pilots are reporting objects that accelerate without propulsion, vanish into the ocean, and move between dimensions like they don't belong to our physics. What's strange is that an ancient Hebrew manuscript described the exact same behavior, and named the beings responsible, listed their leader, and recorded the location where they entered our world. What if the UFO phenomenon was never a mystery — just a memory we forgot how to read? In this episode, Lance Wallnau connects the dots between today's UAP disclosure and Genesis 6 — drawing on the scholarship of the late Michael Heiser, the Book of Enoch, and the Septuagint to reveal what the first-century church already understood about interdimensional beings, the Watchers, and the Nephilim. And the detail that will stop you cold: Jesus didn't randomly choose a mountain for the Transfiguration. He went to the exact peak where 200 angels swore their oath — and reversed what they did there. In this episode:
