Apr 3, 2022The Mountain of TransfigurationBy: Phil PeacockSeries: Jesus on the MountainsMatthew 17:1-9 The Transfiguration of Jesus took place one week after Peter’s confession of faith at Caesarea Philippi. Three of the disciples accompanied Jesus up to a mountain top where they witnessed him shining like the sun and talking with the Old Testament heroes, Moses and Elijah. The unique experience helped the disciples—and us—understand who Jesus truly is.
- It shows us Jesus’ divine glory.
- It clarifies his unique mission.

Mar 27, 2022The Mountain of PrayerBy: Phil PeacockSeries: Jesus on the Mountains“Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.” Matthew 14:22
- Sincere prayer arises out of real life situations.
- Fervent prayer requires dismissing some things that may distract us or detract from our connection with God.
- Effective prayer always looks ahead toward what God has for us next.

Mar 20, 2022The Mountain of ProclamationBy: Phil PeacockSeries: Jesus on the MountainsNow when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them, saying …” Matthew 5:1-2 Our “mountain of proclamation” is any place and any time we have an opportunity to share with others the good news of God’s love through Jesus Christ. Why is it so important that this be our priority?
- The world is full of lost and hurting people.
- We have experienced the grace of God and have been entrusted with the message of hope that can transform lives.
- It is only through hearing and understanding that people are drawn to a saving faith in God through Christ.

Feb 20, 2022Lessons of the Vine: The Procedure of the GardenerBy: Phil PeacockSeries: Lessons of the VineIn Jesus’ grapevine illustration, the heavenly Father is the gardener, or vine-dresser. (“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.”) The removal of the fruitless branches points to His divine judgment. (“He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit…”) The pruning of the fruitful branches points to His divine discipline. (“… while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.”) THOUGHTS ON GOD’S DISCIPLINE/PRUNING— Hebrews 12:5-12
- God’s discipline is a sign of His love for us.
- It may come in the form of punishment.
- It may come by experiencing the consequences of sin.
- It is often simply the discipline of learning through trials.
- Though unpleasant at the time, it is for our ultimate good.
- “Pruning” is God’s job, not ours!
- God’s pruning is both for fruitfulness and for shape. As we become more fruitful, we also better reflect the likeness of Christ.
