Lessons on Missing the Point

May 18, 2025

Luke 9.28-36

Jesus takes a few of his disciples up on a mountain where his body is transfigured into heavenly glory. The sleepy disciples almost miss the moment, and when Peter tries to selfishly prolong the experience, he is abruptly reminded of Jesus' purpose and his own calling. How often have we made decisions in our life only to look back and say, "What was I thinking?" Join Pastor Greg as he shares from this passage how we can make sure that our thoughts, decisions, and actions are more in alignment with Christ.

As Jesus makes his way toward Jerusalem, he reveals what lies ahead--but his disciples still cannot see what he is trying to show them.

Join Pastor Greg as he shares how Jesus challenges all of us to examine our life to find the one thing we lack in a deep relationship with God.

Join Pastor Greg as he shares from the scriptures some of the things we should never leave behind as we travel through life.
