Worship Preparation - June 7, 2026
Read the sermon text: Luke 9:28-36
Read the sermon summary: Peter has just confessed the truth about Jesus, but he doesn’t quite yet know what this means. With this new revelation from Jesus, three of the disciples are privileged to see a foretaste of the kingdom of God and the glory of it’s King. Notice, however, this glory is connected to the topic of discussion between Jesus, Moses, and Elijah; Jesus’ “departure” or “exodus.” In our passage for this Sunday, we will consider what is commonly called the Transfiguration of Jesus. We see that Jesus stands alone as the glorious Son of God who brings the very presence of God to his people. But this is a foretaste. The necessary path to that glory leads to Jerusalem, where Jesus will suffer and die. In preparation for the sermon consider the following questions: What themes from this scene seem familiar to the person familiar with the Old Testament? Why do you think Peter wants to build three tents? What is the significance of the cloud that overshadows them?
Read the following song lyrics in relation to the sermon:
Behold Him
Verse 1
He who was before there was light
Walked across the pages of time
He who made every living thing
Behold Him
He who heard humanity's cry
Left His throne to wake as a child
He became like the least of us
Behold Him
Chorus 1
Jesus Son of God Messiah
The Lamb the roaring Lion
Oh be still and behold Him
Verse 2
He who dined with sinners and saints
Healed the blind the lost and the lame
Even now He is in our midst
Behold Him
He who chose a criminal's end
Paid with blood to settle our debt
Buried death as He rose to life
Behold Him
Chorus 2
Jesus Son of God Messiah
The Lamb the roaring Lion
Oh be still and behold Him
Jesus Alpha and Omega
Our God the risen Savior
Oh be still and behold Him
Bridge
Holy holy holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Worthy worthy worthy
To receive all praise
