Why God Reveals Christ's Glory to Strengthen Obedience If following Jesus feels costly, this episode reveals why God shows us who Christ truly is—without removing the call to carry the cross.What does it mean to follow Jesus when faith feels costly? In this two-part message from Mark 9:2–13, we explore the biblical pattern of suffering now, glory later. As Jesus reveals His glory in the Transfiguration, He strengthens His disciples to endure the path of obedience rather than escape it. These episodes examine Christian suffering, obedience to Christ, and what it looks like to keep following Jesus through hard seasons—trusting Him without the full picture and believing that the cross comes before the crown. In this episode: Why the Christian life follows a clear pattern: suffering first, glory later What the Transfiguration reveals—and why it wasn't meant to keep the disciples on the mountain How Mark 9 connects directly to the call of the cross in Mark 8 Why God sometimes gives a glimpse of glory without removing the cost of obedience The difference between curiosity about Jesus and faith in Jesus Why chasing spiritual experiences can weaken discipleship What it means to behold Christ's glory without demanding comfort or clarity How seeing who Jesus truly is prepares us to trust Him in the valley Resources + Links: Visit the site - www.gospeldaily.org to subscribe to our email ➡️ Find additional resources for this sermon at: https://gospeldaily.org/podcast-1444-1445/ ➡️ Read an additional resource from Josh Weidmann entitled: Are We Missing the Point in Suffering?  https://joshweidmann.com/gods-point-in-suffering/ Pastor Josh's Blog Site: www.joshweidmann.com  Series: Encountering Jesus  

How to Keep Following Christ When the Cost Is Real If obedience feels harder than it should, this episode will help you hear Christ's voice clearly and take the next faithful step—even without the full picture. In this two-part message from Mark 9:2–13, we explore the biblical pattern of suffering now, glory later. As Jesus reveals His glory in the Transfiguration, He strengthens His disciples to endure the path of obedience rather than escape it. These episodes examine Christian suffering, obedience to Christ, and what it looks like to keep following Jesus through hard seasons—trusting Him without the full picture and believing that the cross comes before the crown. In this episode: What happens after the mountaintop—when obedience still lies ahead Why God's command is not to admire Jesus, but to listen to Him How emotions and internal noise can drown out the Shepherd's voice Why discipleship is built on obedience, not feelings or experiences What the resurrection reveals about suffering and glory Why God rarely gives the full picture before calling us to follow How faith learns to walk with incomplete understanding A practical challenge to take one step of obedience—even in the valley Resources + Links: Visit the site - www.gospeldaily.org to subscribe to our email ➡️ Find additional resources for this sermon at: https://gospeldaily.org/podcast-1444-1445/ ➡️ Read an additional resource from Josh Weidmann entitled: Are We Missing the Point in Suffering?  https://joshweidmann.com/gods-point-in-suffering/ Pastor Josh's Blog Site: www.joshweidmann.com  Series: Encountering Jesus

Sermon from Pastor Jim Stultz on December 28, 2025

Today is a second message beholding the majesty of Christmas from the vantage point of Daniel's prophetic record.  Last week we considered the interpretation of the king's composite statue vision as a countdown to Christmas.  Today we turn over a chapter to another incident illuminating the glories of the incarnation.  This time from a ‘before and after' perspective, we compare the fiery furnace ordeal survived by Daniel's three friends, with the Mount of Transfiguration in Matthew's gospel.  What difference does Christmas make in world history and the destiny of believers?  The scriptures gloriously answer in their particular instruction and their big picture perspective.  It is primarily from this second point of view that we behold the glories of Christ incarnate in our sermon today.

A kinsman of the Apostle Paul, the Holy Stephen was one of the seven deacons (with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas and Nicolas) first appointed by the Church to minister to the people; and it pleased God to receive him as the Church's first Martyr for Christ. Read the long, beautiful and edifying account of his witness in the Acts of the Apostles, chapters 6-8. When Stephen, "full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people," (Acts 6:8), some members of a synagogue in Jerusalem came to dispute with him and, enraged by his proclamation of Christ, stoned him to death. In his death St Stephen revealed Christ's erasure of the boundary between heaven and earth, and the new communion between man and God: his face shone with the light of the Transfiguration, and he was granted a vision of Christ enthroned at the Father's right hand. His dying words were "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge" (Acts 7:60).   According to holy tradition, the martyrdom of St Stephen occurred exactly a year after the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. His body was taken and secretly buried by Gamaliel, a member of the Sanhendrin and secretly a Christian.   Saint Stephen's relics were discovered by the priest Lucian in 415 following a vision. They were translated to the church built for them in Jerusalem by the Empress Eudocia, and later taken to Constantinople.   The Saint's missionary speech before his death (like that of the deacon St Philip to the Ethiopian eunuch) reminds us that those appointed to serve the Church materially are not barred, or even excused, from proclaiming the glorious Gospel of Christ.

Friends of the Rosary,Yesterday, we honored St. Stephen, who by his words and by laying down his life for his faith, bore witness to Christ. Today, December 27, we receive the testimony of John, Apostle and Evangelist (d. 101).The Church celebrates the Feast of this Galilean fisherman born in Bethsaida, son of Zebedee and Salome, and brother to St. James the Greater, who became the beloved disciple of Jesus.John and James were called by Jesus to be disciples as they were mending their nets by the Sea of Galilee.The pure and spiritual life of John kept him very close to Jesus and Mary, resting on the Master's breast at the Last Supper and being filled with divine wisdom.He wrote the fourth Gospel (about sixty-three years after the Ascension of Christ), three Epistles, and an excellent and mysterious Book of the Apocalypse or Revelation.John is the evangelist of the divinity and fraternal love of Christ. With James, his brother, and Simon Peter, he was one of the witnesses of the Transfiguration.He was permitted to witness His agony in the Garden. At the foot of the cross, Jesus entrusted His Mother to his care as He hung dying on the Cross.St. John was the only one of the Apostles who did not forsake the Savior in the hour of His Passion and Death.He was brought to Rome and, according to tradition, cast into a caldron of boiling oil by Emperor Domitian's order, but he was miraculously preserved unhurt. He was later exiled to the Island of Patmos, where he wrote the Apocalypse.In his extreme old age, he continued to visit the churches of Asia. Every time he preached, he said: "My dear children, love one another."St. John died in peace at about ninety-four years old at Ephesus in the hundredth year of the Christian era, or the sixty-sixth from the crucifixion of Christ.Ave MariaCome, 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 YorkNew Upgrade!

Once in our world, a Stable had something in it that was bigger than our whole world. – C.S. Lewis

From Joseph to Yeshua: The Pattern of Divine Redemption The Torah portion Vayigash reveals a stunning pattern that connects Joseph's story to Yeshua's ultimate redemption. When Joseph declared to his brothers, "Elohim sent me before you to preserve life," he unveiled a truth that echoes through Scripture: what appears as tragedy is often Yahweh orchestrating deliverance. Joseph's journey mirrors Yeshua's path remarkably. Both were beloved by their father, rejected by their brothers, sold for silver, suffered unjustly, yet were exalted to save many. Joseph preserved his family from physical famine while Yeshua delivers us from spiritual famine, becoming the true bread of life. This pattern extends beyond Joseph. At the Transfiguration, Moses and Elijah discussed Yeshua's coming "exodus" in Jerusalem. The Greek term deliberately connects His death and resurrection to Israel's defining redemptive moment. Just as Yahweh delivered Israel from Egyptian bondage, Yeshua accomplishes a greater exodus, freeing us from sin's slavery through His blood as our Passover Lamb. The prophets understood this progression. Isaiah promised a new deliverance surpassing the first exodus. Jeremiah foretold a new covenant written on our hearts. Ezekiel prophesied the Spirit's indwelling power. Through Yeshua, these messianic prophecies find fulfillment, offering redemption to both Jew and Gentile who trust in Yahweh's eternal plan.   Watch on YouTube here:    https://youtu.be/iuw2h1logrU Watch on Vimeo Here: www.vimeo.com/ruach   Have you read the Parsha yet?

There is a tractor beam pulling you through life that determines where you will end up. But you have control over what that tractor beam is. Peter reveals the one that will pull you into the wisest and best decisions in life. Discover how a flash of light on an ancient hill can rewrite your future. On the Mount of Transfiguration. Peter, James, and John saw Jesus shine like the sun and flash like lightning—not as a reflection, but as the source of divine light. This wasn't just a miracle. It was a preview of the Second Coming, when every element melts, the Antichrist shatters under His splendor, and the universe is flooded with eternal, uncreated glory.

Preparing for the Coming Messiah in Advent: The Fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets Today's Gospel reveals that Elijah has already come in the person of John the Baptist, . . . . . . though he was not recognized and was rejected, just as Jesus Himself will be. John fulfills Elijah's mission: preparing hearts for the coming of the Messiah through repentance and reconciliation. Advent, therefore, is not merely waiting, but an active turning of hearts . . . first toward God and then toward one another, especially within families where division and hurt often arise. Jesus is the fulfillment of God's plan revealed through the Law and the Prophets. Like St. Lucy, believers are called to make a decisive choice for God, rejecting spiritual complacency and committing fully to Christ as they prepare for His coming. Listen to Elijah's mission.

Gospel Matthew 17:9a, 10-13 As they were coming down from the mountain, the disciples asked Jesus, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" He said in reply, "Elijah will indeed come and restore all things; but I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him but did to him whatever they pleased. So also will the Son of Man suffer at their hands." Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist. Reflection In this gospel Peter, James and John have just witnessed the Transfiguration. Jesus turning into light. Enlightenment. And there on either side is Elijah, the prophets and Moses, the law. And what it's saying clearly to the disciples that there is a radical change coming where all that has gone before will be transformed into something radically new, called the Kingdom of God. It's important to recognize all the stages that went into this transition, because in a sense, we all go through something like that, leaving behind that which is not really productive and entering into a productive kingdom of God. Closing Prayer Father, we have this major story, and yet we today are living in the final times. We're living in the time of the Kingdom of God. Help us to discern the work that we are engaged in as we continue to move forward and not fall back into things that lead to violence, destruction. The Kingdom of God that is being established is about life, hope, love, connection. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Power of Prayer and the Preeminence of Jesus. In this episode, the focus is on understanding the purpose and power of prayer in the Christian journey. Reflecting on 2 Peter 1 and the Transfiguration account in Luke 9, the discussion delves into the importance of discipleship, obedience, and the preeminence of Jesus. Key themes include the necessity of prayer, the power it releases, the revelation of God's plans, and the reminder of Jesus' supremacy. The conversation also touches on the experiential aspects of prayer and how it transforms individuals and aligns them with God's will.

The Transfiguration serves as a divine affirmation of Jesus' identity as the Son of God, revealed in the midst of a trajectory that moves from glory to suffering, preparing the disciples for the crucifixion that lies ahead. Following Peter's confession of faith and Jesus' prophecy of His coming death, the event on the mountain provides a glimpse of Christ's divine glory, confirmed by the Father's voice commanding, 'Hear Him,' and witnessed by Moses and Elijah, who represent the Law and the Prophets, affirming Jesus as the fulfillment of Scripture. Though the disciples are overwhelmed with fear and confusion, Jesus' touch brings comfort, and the experience is not meant for public proclamation until after the resurrection, when the full meaning of suffering and glory will be understood. The sermon emphasizes that true discipleship requires enduring suffering in faith, not for the sake of experience, but because the written Word of God—more certain than any heavenly vision—is the enduring foundation for belief. Ultimately, the Transfiguration is not an end in itself, but a foretaste of future glory that strengthens believers to walk faithfully through present trials, trusting in Christ's promise that those who suffer with Him will also be glorified with Him.

If we're seeking a feeling of illumination or deeper connection to the universal and divine, what clues and meaning can we find in perhaps the best-known story of transformation in western history — the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ? Does it reveal an esoteric path to active engagement with evolution and expanding consciousness? Or is it a powerful metaphor for an innate human species capacity to grow and develop?In this conversation, Aviv Shahar and metamodern thought leader Brendan Graham Dempsey continue their lively dialogue on the many faces of Jesus Christ, the central pillar of Christianity. Building on their previous conversation, they focus on mystical and metamodern appreciations of the mystery of the Transfiguration.The exploration goes beyond historical accounts to seek the significance of such a transformation to our own pursuit of meaning, connection, purpose and expanded awareness. How do each of us experience our own moments of sacred empowerment and profound, life-changing insight and inspiration?The conversation expands our understanding of this unique time, into the evolutionary possibility to experience and express our true universal nature. Aviv and Brendan's many insights include:The story of Christ's transfiguration is a key moment of storytelling in the broader narrative that we see unfolding in human cultural evolution towards a shift in higher consciousness.We have entered a unique time where the species is reaching for something beyond Homo Solaris — the Universalis human, where we can again embrace plurality.We are not human beings seeking a spiritual experience, but spirit beings becoming human to develop, mature and become vessels for continual evolution to occur through us as co-creators.The first consideration in an esoteric contemplation is that a prophecy, or any learning, is actualized not when it occurs, but when it has been witnessed and validated.If the spiritual discourse is not amenable to the same kinds of justification dynamics as science or other discourse, it is insulated from critique, and breaks down into ‘you feel it or you don't'.Focusing only on exterior sources of knowledge, and giving credence to the microscope and telescope, can disenfranchise the ‘interior scope' and natural inner sense organs.This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change.

And we went back and forth in finding, carving, a way to enable a space that perhaps is not defined by the gravitational logic that we process every day, and at the same time that is not going to abandon certain frameworks and certain ways of thinking and being that will afford us freedom and safety and collaboration and, ultimately, possibilities to solve big problems on the global stage.” (Aviv) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteThe Transfiguration Archetype

Faith and action is required to accessing the glory of God. The resurrection of Lazarus and the transfiguration of Jesus, are just two examples in witnessing God's divine miracles. The supernatural realm awaits those who hear and act upon His word.

11/23/25 David borrows from the new book Reading the Bible on Turtle Island by Sanctuary member Chris Hoklotubbe. David looks at how the book invites an openness to the gifts and spiritual practices of indigenous traditions because many reflect the Bible's portrayal of spiritual experiences. For example, in the Transfiguration story, Jesus experiences the presence of his ancestors (Moses and Elijah) at a crossroads moment in his ministry.

What part of your life is feeling dark right now? In this special on-location episode, Dr. Sri takes us up Mount Tabor—the very site of the Transfiguration—to explore how this powerful event speaks directly into the darkest places of our lives. Standing where Peter, James, and John once witnessed Christ's glory, Dr. Sri reflects on why Jesus revealed His radiance at this pivotal moment and how that same light strengthens us through seasons of confusion, fear, weakness, and suffering. _ _ For full shownotes, visit Ascensionpress.com/Allthingscatholic, or text ALLTHINGSCATHOLIC to 33-777 for weekly shownotes sent to your inbox.

In the final week of our Peter miniseries, we see this rash, eager, and imperfect disciple witnessing the true nature of Jesus as the son of God during the transfiguration. In this sacred moment, Jesus takes three of his disciples away to a high mountain where he is transformed into a being of radiant light, pouring the glory of God into the world. Peter's reaction is predictably bumbling but reflects his faith in Jesus. This moment, especially with Peter's impending denial of Jesus at his trial looming in the not-too-distant future, is an invitation to consider our own faith and willingness to allow the light of Christ to transform our understanding of reality.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 14th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Book of Exodus 34:29: ”…Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him.” Moses had just come down from Mt Sinai with the Ten Commandments. He had spent 40 days and 40 nights in the presence of our Heavenly Father, and his face was shining like the sun. Isn't that amazing? We go to Matthew 17:2: ”…and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.” That was Jesus, our Saviour, when He went up the Mount of Transfiguration. He shone like the sun when He met with His Heavenly Father. Folks, that can happen to you and me as well if we spend time with the Lord Jesus Christ, then we start to become more and more like Him. Moses had to wear a veil over his face. The people were too scared to come near Him because of the presence of God in His life. Surely that's how we should be as well. People should want to come and be with us because they see the love and the presence of God in our lives, not so much by the way we look, but rather by the way we act and live. You know, little children are very good judges of people who know God. They are drawn to people like that. I've seen them. They'll hang around and stand around and be close to people who spend time with God.I want to tell you about a man that made a big impression in my life when I was a new Christian, many many years ago. His name was Reverend Tom Parker and his dear wife, Gladys. They came all the way from Yorkshire, England and they became the ministers of the little church here in Greytown, one of the dearest men I think I've met in my life. He had a hard life. He was in the Second World War, serving on submarines. He never complained and was always gentle. He wasn't the greatest preacher that I've ever heard but he gave off the presence of Jesus wherever he went. I used to love just sitting, listening to him talking and he would get so caught up in the Holy Spirit, that you battled to follow him when he was preaching, but I want to tell you, he gave the presence of God wherever he went.You and I today as well, people just want the love of God and they are desperate to meet with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.Today, let's be Jesus to them. God bless you and goodbye.

Fr. Mike discusses our call to deny ourselves and take up our cross, specifically focusing on God's call to renounce all that is ours and trust in him. He also highlights the story of Mary and Martha and encourages us not to allow the cares of life to choke the life of God out of our lives as Martha allowed her troubles and anxieties to do. Today's readings are from Luke 9-10 and Proverbs 26:4-6. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

In this episode of the Jesus Everyday Podcast, Ethan Callison, Josh Horne, and Andrew McPheron dive into John 7:25–36, a passage filled with tension, misunderstanding, and urgency.As Jesus teaches in the temple during the Feast of Booths, confusion swirls among the people and the religious leaders. Some think He's the Messiah. Others think He can't be. And Jesus' words cut through their speculation:“You will seek Me, and you will not find Me. Where I am, you cannot come.”

This stand-alone message explores what true, biblical friendship looks like through the example of Jesus and his closest friends—Peter, James, and John. Deep friendships go beyond fun memories to shared spiritual experiences, vulnerability, and loyalty. These three friends witnessed Jesus in his highest moments—the Transfiguration, where they experienced his divinity together—and in his lowest moments, like Gethsemane, where they shared in his grief. Genuine friendships are marked by depth, honesty, celebration without jealousy, and faithfulness through both joy and pain.

As we continue in The Story we arrive at Act Four - God Appears. God has always been present, but he now appears in human flesh, in the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus. One of the best examples of the heartbeat of Act Four - is the Transfiguration of Jesus in Matthew 17. Carlos Velez shows how Jesus reveals God's glory, bridges the gap between us and God, and calls us to new life. As we see the truth of who Jesus is we understand that there is nothing we can place above Jesus in our lives.

In this message, Pastor John takes us back to the Mount of Transfiguration in Matthew 17 and connects it to the Great Commission in Matthew 28. On one mountain, the Father says, “Listen to Him.” On the other, the risen Christ commands, “Go and make disciples.”Between those two mountains lies the heartbeat of the Christian life — to listen to Jesus, follow Him, and help others do the same.Join us as we explore what it means to move from hearing His Word to obeying His call — from admiring His glory to joining His mission.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

Heaven's glory on the mountaintop and heartbreak at the base. Few moments capture the gap between revelation and reality like the Mount of Transfiguration followed by a desperate father's plea. We walk that path with open eyes and honest hearts, asking what changes when we take prayer off the summit and into the noise. Jesus said, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer," and this becomes more than a verse; it becomes a map for how we live, love, and lead when our strength fails and our best ideas stall.So far, in this "TRANSFIGURATION PRAYER" collection of conversations, we have woven together seven portraits of prayer:interceding like Moses believing like Elijahstrengthening like Peterfollowing like Jamesabiding like John, and,surrendering like JesusThese form a simple, sturdy framework for everyday devotion-driven discipleship. Now we come to the conclusion of this collection and consider the consequences of praying like this. We name the pushback that shows up when people start praying for prodigals, for light in dark places, and for courage in the face of spiritual resistance. Instead of shrinking back, we learn to press in and pray big. Each of us are encouraged to build small, consistent practices that open space for God to move: family prayers that are short and sincere, a church “encounter room,” text threads that intercede by name, and rhythms that keep our focus on God's presence rather than our performance.The heart of our conversation is practical and hopeful. Prayer isn't a backup plan; it's the bridge where heaven meets here, where glory meets grit, where transfiguration becomes transformation. If you're carrying heavy needs, waiting on change, or longing to see faith take root in your home and community, this journey will give you language, models, and courage to keep going. Listen, share with someone who needs hope, and join us in seeking Jesus together. The devotion-driven discipleship guide that goes along with this conversation can be found HERE.

What if the most powerful prayer doesn't go louder or longer, but lower? In our most desperate moments, prayer becomes a dependency that puts everything, everything, even our best plans, in God's hands.In this "Transfiguration Prayer" conversation, Tosha Williams points us to Jesus' example. From the mountain's radiant glory to the garden's heavy night, Jesus shows us what true surrender looks like. He teaches that prayer isn't always about escaping pain, but ultimately trusting the Father's plan with a yielded heart.When the mountain doesn't move and the cup doesn't pass, Jesus' prayer invites us to align our will with Father's plan: “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done” (Luke 22:42).  In this episode, we reflect on why prayer changes us before it changes anything else, how the same light that shone on the mountain still shines through our darkest hours, and what it means to practice daily surrender in our own prayers.This episode is for anyone standing at the base of a mountain or holding a cup they'd rather not drink. We'll discover how to yield our plans, strengthen others with honest faith, and make space for God to move in and through us. As we "Seek Him Speak Him" into our homes, friendships, and communities, Heaven meets here in ordinary lives shaped by extraordinary grace.As we near the conclusion of our "Transfiguration Prayer: Where Heaven Meets Here" series, spend time in the devotion-driven discipleship guide and ask the Lord to show you what He wants to teach you through His prayer life.

On the mountain, Peter, James, and John are given a glimpse of Jesus' unveiled divine glory. They see Him with Moses and Elijah, showing that the Law and the Prophets point to Christ. As the Father commands, "Listen to him," Jesus is revealed as the fulfillment and final Word. This glimpse of divinity is paired with His earthly authority as He heals a demon-possessed boy and provides the temple tax, demonstrating the Son of God is Lord over all things, spiritual and temporal.  The Rev. Brandon Metcalf, pastor of Zion Lutheran Church in Bethalto, IL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 17:1-27.  To learn more about Zion Lutheran, visit zionbethalto.org The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who challenges us with the crushing demands of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount to the sweet comfort of the Gospel in His death and resurrection. From royal genealogy to glorious resurrection, this verse-by-verse study proclaims the One who conquered sin, death, and the devil for us, now delivering forgiveness, life, and salvation through Word and Sacrament as He remains with His church always, even to the end of the age.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
