Transfigured into His Likeness

Feb 11, 2024  •  The Rev. Charlie Holt

Mark's account of the Transfiguration recalls Moses and Elijah meeting God on Sinai and reveals Jesus as the divine Son. The Greek word behind it, metamorphosis, is used for believers too: Christians are meant to become butterflies, not chameleons. Citing Willow Creek's Reveal study, the sermon argues that proximity to Jesus through daily Scripture and prayer, not church busyness, is what changes lives, and frames Lent as the season for that practice.
