Sermon Notes from 9.26.10

Here are the sermon notes from Sunday, 9.26.10.  We had a great time looking at the story of Jesus' transfiguration in Mark 9.  I was hoping we'd have the clarity of seeing God's glory and it satisfying our souls and transforming our lives.  I know I want to live that way.  As always, you can find these notes in PDF and the sermon audio at sermons.heritagepark.org.

Jesus Unfiltered

Mark 9.2-13

We have not, to this point, seen the glory of God like we see it here.

• The Creation, Exodus, and Temple scenes give us glimpses.
• The resurrection and revelation are only places we see it more clearly.

He’s not who we want Him to be – He is who He says and shows He is.

• Plastic Jesus
• Halo Jesus
• American Jesus
• Coffee Cup Jesus
• Oprah Jesus
• Hipster Jesus

Seeing His glory is the only hope for satisfaction of our souls.

• Beauty – capturing our affection.
• Messiah – calling out our allegiance.
• Father – meeting our desire for a paternal blessing.

In Christ we have the Father’s delight (Gal. 4.4-7)

Seeing His glory is the only hope for the transformation of our lives.

• We see Him primarily with our minds as we listen to Him.
• We see His glory clearly in His death and resurrection.
• The source of our transformation is the Spirit using the Scriptures.
