Listening to Jesus - Pastor Johnnie Simpson Jr.


In this powerful message, we're reminded of the profound importance of listening, especially to Jesus. The sermon takes us through Luke 9:28-36, where Jesus is transfigured on the mountaintop. This extraordinary event teaches us that sometimes, we need to step away from the crowds and seek intimate moments with God. Just as Jesus took only Peter, James, and John with him, we too should cultivate a close circle for deeper spiritual growth. The appearance of Moses and Elijah alongside Jesus emphasizes the continuity of God's plan and Jesus' pivotal role in fulfilling it. As we reflect on this, we're challenged to consider: Are we truly listening to Jesus in our daily lives? Are we attuned to His voice in our prayers, in Scripture, and even in our pain? This message encourages us to 'put in a call to the manufacturer' - to seek God's guidance when our own understanding falls short. It's a stirring reminder that in our spiritual journey, listening to Jesus is not just beneficial, it's essential for our growth and transformation.
