Most of us have felt it—the ache that there has to be more to life than the daily routine. We look for it in adventure, romance, career, retreats, nostalgia, new experiences. We chase the mountaintop. In Mark 9, Peter, James, and John actually get one: Jesus transfigured before their eyes, his clothes brighter than anything on earth, Moses and Elijah standing beside him, the voice of the Father thundering from the cloud. Peter wants to stay there forever. This sermon is about what Peter saw, why Jesus wouldn't let him camp there, and where you and I can go today to see the glory our hearts are really looking for—spoiler: it's closer than you think, and it's in a book most of us leave on a shelf.
This Sunday is Communion Sunday at BBCC. Come to the table where we remember that the glory of God was revealed most fully not on the bright mountain, but on the dark hill of the cross. Join us at 9:00am or 10:30am in Boynton Beach, FL, with coffee and bagels before and after. More info at https://bbcconline.com.
