Matthew 17:1-8

Listen to Matthew 17:1-8

The Transfiguration

1 ¹Six days later Jesus took with Him ²Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.

2 And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light.

3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.

4 Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, ³I will make three tabernacles here, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, ⁴a voice out of the cloud said, "⁵This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!"

6 When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground and were terrified.

7 And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, "Get up, and ⁶do not be afraid."

8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.

He's In the Clouds

Pastor Jack Morris

Today, Pastor Jack Morris is focused on clouds – and no, this message isn’t about the weather but how clouds have played a role in Biblical stories and God’s deliverance. From Moses to Elijah to Jesus calming a deadly storm, learn how God works unexpectedly to provide peace and protection. 1 Kings 18:41-44 And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain.” So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees. “Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked. “There is nothing there,” he said. Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.” The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.” So Elijah said, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.’”
