👀 What does Led Zeppelin have to do with Jesus' transfiguration? More than you think.

In this message, we explore how easy it is to miss something world-changing—even when it’s right in front of you. From British teens clueless about rock legends to disciples on a mountaintop with God, this sermon walks us through the astonishing moment when Jesus' glory is revealed—and what it means for us today.

Three Kingdom-anchored truths emerge from Matthew 17:

✨ Right Vision in the New Reality – The Kingdom of Jesus flips everything right-side up. It’s not about dominance and power, but humility, peace, and self-giving love.

🤝 Right Reliance in the New Reality – We’re not called to live this way by our own strength. Faith in Jesus, even mustard seed-sized, equips us through his presence and power.

🏛️ Right Respect in the New Reality – Earthly powers? With all due respect (i.e., not much). We belong to a better Kingdom with a better King.

🙌 Jesus doesn’t stay distant in glory—he comes near, touches his disciples, and says, “Do not be afraid.” And he’s still doing that today.

🎧 Tap in to reimagine your world through Kingdom eyes—and to be reminded that Jesus is not just a better way; he is the only way.
