Listen to Him – Matthew 17:1–9

1. We Live in a Noisy World

Many voices compete for our attention.
God’s voice cuts through the noise:
“This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.”

2. The Mountain Reveals Who Jesus Is

On the mountain, the disciples see Christ’s glory.
The One who shines in light is the same One who stepped into the water with us.
Fully divine. Fully human. Close to us.

3. Mountaintop Moments Matter

We all experience moments of clarity and grace.
In worship. In prayer. In love. In creation.
These moments are not escapes.
They are maps for when life feels foggy.

4. The Mountain Is Not the Destination

Jesus leads the disciples back down.
Following Him means moving toward real life.
Toward need. Toward suffering. Toward the cross.

5. Lent Is a Season of Listening

Quiet the other voices.
Refocus your heart.
Hear again Christ’s invitation:
“Follow me. Do not be afraid.”

Remember This:

The God of the mountaintop is not distant.
In Jesus, God is right here.
As close as your breath.

Listen to Him.
