Photobombed | Transfiguration Sunday | Exodus 34:29-35, 2 Peter 1:16-21, and Matthew 17:1-13

Sermon Summary: Transfiguration, Matthew 17:1-13

Peter wanted to stay on the mountain after Jesus transfigured. He wanted to stay where things were good, and where Jesus wouldn’t have to die. Sometimes God’s will doesn’t seem good to us, but God’s will is ultimately best for us. We will be studying Exodus 34:29-35, 2 Peter 1:16-21, and Matthew 17:1-13.

2. God’s glory shown on the face of Moses terrified people.
