Church of the Incarnation Sermons

We live in a world obsessed with filters — projecting polished versions of ourselves while hiding what feels weak or unfinished. But God does not invite us to hide. He invites us to behold.

On Transfiguration Sunday, Pastor Shawn Torres walks us through Matthew 17 and reminds us that the glory of Christ is not given for entertainment, but for empowerment. When Jesus’ face shone like the sun and the Father declared, “This is my Son… listen to Him,” the disciples were given more than a spectacle. They were given strength for what lay ahead.

The mountain was not the destination — it was preparation.

As we enter the valleys of real life and prepare for Lent, this sermon calls us to fix our eyes on Jesus, listen to His voice above every competing voice, and trust that His glory will strengthen us to bear our cross.

Is His glory changing the way we carry ours?
