Behold the Glory of Christ (Luke 9:28-35)

July 14, 2024 | Mark Oshman

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  • The sermon mentioned that a “me-centered” theology leads to spiritual poverty. In what ways can a deeper understanding of Christ’s nature, as revealed in the Transfiguration, move us away from a self-centered spirituality towards a more Christ-centered discipleship? Share personal experiences where focusing on Christ’s glory has reshaped your spiritual journey and daily life.
  • As God’s people, we’re called to help one another see and savor Jesus.  How might we encourage one another to behold the glory of Christ throughout the ordinariness of life, the ups and the downs, the struggles, fears, triumphs, temptations, and the failures we all face?
