"When the Fog Lifts" | February 15, 2026

In this Transfiguration Sunday message, Rev. David Hockett reflects on Matthew 17:1–9 and the moment when Jesus is revealed in dazzling glory on the mountain.

For Peter, James, and John, the fog lifts. They see clearly who Jesus is. They hear the voice from the cloud: “This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.”

But the mountain is not where the story ends.

Jesus leads them back down into the valley, toward Jerusalem, toward suffering, and toward the cross. The Transfiguration is not an escape from the world. It is a map for the journey through it.

This sermon explores how mountaintop moments in our own lives, moments of clarity, worship, love, and grace, can guide us when the fog rolls back in. As Lent begins, we are invited to quiet the noise, listen for Christ’s voice, and follow Him wherever He leads.

The God of the mountaintop is not distant. In Jesus, God is right here, as close as our breath.
