Both/And | October 18, 2020 | Trent Williams

The Rev. Trent Williams, our Executive Pastor, delivers a message reflecting on Mark 9:1-13, titled “Both/And" on the Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost.

 

A brief synopsis:

This sermon reflects on the experience of light and darkness, both physical and spiritual. It contrasts the artificial brightness of the modern world with the profound darkness experienced in the past. The sermon explores the story of Jesus' transfiguration and how the disciples were called not to fixate on the light but to follow it into action. Drawing on Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Mountaintop" speech, the message emphasizes that while spiritual highs are important, they must lead to service, justice, and faithfulness in everyday life.
