Lifted Up
When the people of Israel were bitten by venomous snakes, God gave an interesting solution to the problem. He had Moses make a bronze serpent and put it up on a pole, so that anyone bitten could look at it and live. God also has given an interesting solution to the deadlier venom of sin--again, by lifting up something and attaching promises to it, so that everyone who looks to it in faith will live! Watch Pastor Troy's sermon to find out what God's solution to the problem of sin really is!

Watch Pastor Troy's sermon to see why worship is worthwhile for you too!
- Feb 28, 2024TestimonyTestimonyWhen you're surrounded by a hostile crowd, who questions who you are, accuses you, and puts you on trial, what will you say? In tonight's sermon text, we see that happen both to Jesus, and to the Apostle Peter. One's testimony is unwavering and true. The other's testimony is faltering and denying. Believe it or not, in our words, attitudes, actions, and reactions, we're also giving regular testimony about Jesus to those around us. So, what is your testimony saying about Jesus?

So much so, that the disciples wanted to stay in that glory forever! But it wasn't meant to be. They needed to leave that glorious mountaintop, so that Jesus could experience weakness, humility, suffering, and death! But for us, God doesn't make us climb a mountain to see the glory of Christ revealed. We just have to open our Bibles!
