First Cary UMC’s First Sanctuary Sermon – Rev. Ben Alexander – February 15, 2026
In Matthew 17, Peter, James and John follow Jesus up a high mountain. Once again Jesus is named as God’s Beloved. Only this time Jesus is transfigured before them, as more of his identity is revealed. The disciples respond by falling down in worship. This glimpse of God’s glory transforms the disciples. Encountering Christ in worship transforms our hearts as disciples so that we might reflect and embody God’s glory in all we do.
Scripture: Matthew 17:1-9
