In this powerful continuation of our study on the Glory of God, Pastor Harlend dives deep into Luke chapter 9, exploring the profound events on the Mountain of Transfiguration. What does it mean to truly behold the glory of God? It starts with a radical commitment. Before Jesus took Peter, James, and John up the mountain, He gave them a requirement: "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." Pastor Harlen breaks down the practical side of this "red letter" command, explaining that we must die to our flesh daily because our flesh isn't saved—only our souls are. He challenges us to move beyond "feel-good Christianity" and learn to praise God in the midst of the storm, just as much as we do on the mountaintop.
