A Daily Walk

John Randall

Transfigured and Tested Part 1

August 21, 2023

Many of us have wondered what it will be like to see God as He is.  We’re told, as Christians, that will be a reality one day in heaven.  But wouldn’t it be nice to get a glimpse of that glory here on earth?   Peter, James, and John had that opportunity on a mountain one day and we’ll take a look at their experience here on this edition of A Daily Walk.

Pleasing God
This month we’d like to make special mention of an excellent book written by Kay Smith titled, “Pleasing God.”  We face choices every day, and we hope it’s your desire to please God as you go about making those decisions. In Pleasing God, Kay Smith encourages women to think of God first and to live with His pleasure in mind!

Today on a Daily Walk our teacher, pastor John Randall will present a message on false prophets and teachers. This teaching is based on the Sermon on the Mount, in Matthew chapter seven. False teachers are certainly prevalent today as they were in Jesus’ day. Christ warns us that these false prophets are ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing. That should serve as a wake-up call to every believer to learn to tell the difference from a true man of God and a ravenous wolf. Today we’ll discover that to learn a man’s intent, you need look no further than his life, and the fruit he bears.

The Christian life is far from easy and at times people will even question what we’re doing because it seems illogical.  But the reward for determining to follow Jesus is far greater than anything we leave behind!  Today on a Daily Walk we’ll take a look at the difficult path the Lord calls us to.  It starts with a desire, and that leads to a decision, a denial of self, and then death to self! Jesus laid down His life for us and now He calls us to live a crucified life.

Pastor John Randall will be in Mark chapter eight, and verses 22-38.  Here we find another miracle performed by Jesus, featuring a blind man from Bethsaida.  There are a good number of lessons flowing from it, as we’ll soon see.  Like, his friends saw his need and brought him to Jesus.  That’s exactly the kind of friend we need to be.

Compassionate and loving, we see that demonstrated time and time again in the life and ministry of Christ whether it was to a person individually or to a multitude of people.  We’ll see some more examples of that today. Jesus healed the sick and fed the multitudes!  And these were clear signs of who He is - and what He’s all about.  But He also set aside time with His disciples to teach them valuable lessons.  Pastor John Randall has an eye on Mark chapters seven and eight.

John Randall is currently leading us through the gospel of Mark. This account of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ contains many relevant lessons for us. We’ll begin in Mark seven at verse fourteen, where Jesus confronts the religious leaders about their hypocrisy.  If we’re wise we’ll look within to see if there’s even a trace of hypocrisy in our own lives that needs to be rooted out.

The feeding of the 5,000 is so much more than a miracle… it’s a miracle with an important message.  And pastor John Randall believes it contains something you need to hear about serving Jesus.  He’ll draw that out for us today on a Daily Walk.   We’re going through Mark at the present time and today we’ll pay a visit to chapters six and seven.

See if this sounds familiar.  You’re driving down the road thinking you’re well on the way to your destination.  You pass several signs that say otherwise but they don’t catch your eye.  Finally you come to the realization that you’ve been going the wrong way!  Maybe that will happen to you, spiritually speaking, today on a Daily Walk.  Countless people today think they’re on the highway to heaven, but in reality are on the road to destruction.  Pastor John Randall takes us to Matthew seven, as we continue through the Sermon on the Mount.

Pastor John Randall will be covering Mark chapters six and seven.   We’re about to receive some marvelous lessons that can help us as we set out to serve the Lord.  But pastor John first wants to emphasize how important it is that we take time out to be alone with Jesus.  It’s during those times that we can be recharged and receive encouragement, preparing us for what’s next.

Today we're in Mark chapter six.   John the Baptist was the forerunner of Christ, sent ahead to prepare the way for the Lord.  All around the world Christians are being persecuted for their faith, and we’re even seeing that here in America in growing measure.  But remember Jesus said “In the world you will have tribulation.  But take courage; I have overcome the world!”  As we look together at the death of John the Baptist, and how he was faithful even to the very end of his life, allow this to encourage your heart today.  That no matter what comes our way, God will be with us, and can help us to remain faithful too.

Pastor John is going to offer quite a contrast between a group of people that were living in unbelief, with some others that were walking in faith!  Question is, which of the two would best describe where you’re at today?  Let’s think that over, as we turn in our Bibles to Mark chapter six.
