Today’s Scripture: Matthew 17:6-8

Mountain Men – explorers, trailblazers, wilderness types.

Also - people willing to give their lives to make way for the kingdom of God to arrive.

Three were on the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus, Moses and Elijah - Peter, James and John.

They were ambitious and highly motivated but also men under construction, raw and rugged, with real potential - diamonds in the rough.

Today’s Scripture: Luke 9:35
What does it mean to know this Jesus? To be changed by him? 

To give him the respect he's due?  To marvel in who Jesus truly is? 

To worship and serve him as God? To let him show us the Father?

To let our fathering follow his?

Maybe we could get to know the Father through the Son and love him back because He first loved us. 

God is a loving Father who is crazy about you, wants to be close to you and pour his good pleasure out on you.

Today’s Scripture: Matthew 17:1-9Jesus fulfills God’s law to become a perfect spotless sacrifice and atone for our sin. He fulfills the prophecies of Messiah doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves.

Today’s Scripture: Matthew 17:1-8

Would you believe that God sees every single person the same way basketball scouts looked at Victor Wembanyama at age 15 in France? He sees not just what you are but what you were made to become.

God sees the glory He wrote into your design before you were born.

Today’s Scripture: John 4:23

Authenticity happens in community – with others risking to be real, willing to love and be loved – humbly opening our lives to God and each other in Christ. Authenticity is grace in work clothes.
