Sermon Notes – "When the Fog Lifts"

February 15, 2026

📝 Take-Home Notes

1. We Live in a World of Noise
Many voices compete for our attention. God’s voice cuts through it all: “This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.”

2. The Mountain Brings Clarity
On the mountain, the fog lifts. The disciples see who Jesus truly is. The One shining in glory is the same One who walks with us.

3. Mountaintop Moments Matter
We all experience moments when God feels near. In worship. In prayer. In love. In beauty. These moments are not escapes. They are maps for when visibility drops.

4. The Mountain Is Not the Destination
Jesus leads the disciples back down. Following Him means moving toward real life. Toward need. Toward suffering. Toward the cross.

5. Lent Is a Season of Listening
Quiet the other voices. Refocus your heart. Hear again Christ’s invitation: “Follow me. Do not be afraid.”

Remember This
When the fog lifts, we see clearly. When it settles back in, we trust the voice that guided us before. The God of the mountaintop is right here.
