Epiphany, Transfiguration Sunday

Emmaus Road Church | Fort Collins, Colorado

Sermon Scripture: Mark 9:2-9

The season of Epiphany begins just after Christmas with the story of Jesus’s baptism in the Jordan river by John the Baptist. As Jesus emerges from the water, a cloud appears and a dove descends and the voice of God is heard to say, “You are my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.”

And here, on this day of Transfiguration, Epiphany ends with another moment of divine revelation, “This is my beloved son, listen to him.” Once again and even more dramatically we see his glory revealed and hear the confirming voice of the Father.

For the disciples who experience this amazing and powerful epiphany, it is a transformative moment. The same transformative work that God still enacts in our lives today.
