TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Mark 9:1–13

SERMON FOCUS: Transfiguration, Coming Down the Mountain, Discipleship, Obedience

SERMON HIGHLIGHTS:

• The Transfiguration Revealed Majesty (v.2–8) – A glimpse of Jesus’ divine glory, with Moses, Elijah, and the Father’s voice: “Listen to Him!”

• The Transfiguration Required Maturity (v.9–10) – Jesus commands silence until the resurrection, and the disciples wrestle with what “rising from the dead” means.

• Three Keys to Life After Worship:

• You Have to Come Down – Worship is not an escape; it prepares us for the valley. (Psalm 34:4–6; Hebrews 10:24–25; Matthew 18:20)

• You Have to Control Your Dialogue – Not every revelation is for public consumption; timing and obedience matter.

• You Have to Commit to Discipleship – The disciples kept the matter to themselves, discussing and growing in understanding.
