Here’s a manuscript of my sermon from a couple weeks ago, on Transfiguration Sunday. It was also the last sermon in a series on baptism, and provided a link to the beginning of Lent. In studying for this message in Mark’s gospel, I noticed for the first time that at the Transfiguration the words of Jesus’ baptism are repeated, but this time everyone is able to hear them and they are enjoined to “Listen to him.”
