February 19, 2023, Transfiguration: ”God’s-Eye View”

Peter was shocked. First, Jesus had told him that his ministry would lead to his arrest and execution. Then, when Peter objected, Jesus called him "Satan" for setting his mind on human things instead of divine things. We've heard about the devil's logic before, especially concerning the temptations of Jesus. How does that logic show up in the concern of a friend who deeply cares for Jesus? What is a divine way to view the life and ministry of Jesus? And how does the Transfiguration provide assurance to us contemporary disciples who often, like Peter, would rather avoid the cross? Pastor David preaches "God's-Eye View" based on Matthew 16:21-17:9.
