This Week's Passage

This week we are finishing our series "The Spirit of Elijah"! We are diving into the last explicit reference of Elijah appearing in the New Testament which occurs at the Transfiguration of Jesus. In preparation for Sunday, take some time to study Matthew 17:1-13 and ponder these questions:

What does transfigured mean? What was Jesus showing his disciples in this moment?

Why are Moses and Elijah present? What did Moses and Elijah represent in the Old Testament? How do they relate to Matthew 11:13?

How do the experiences of God meeting with Moses and Elijah on Mount Sinai help shape your understanding of the event of Jesus' Transfiguration? Exodus 34, 1 Kings 19:9-15
