From Hearing to Doing... to Seeing - February 15, 2026

This Sunday, we stand between two mountains in Matthew’s Gospel. Over the past weeks, we’ve listened as Jesus brought the Sermon on the Mount to his disciples, reminding us that true discipleship is more than hearing his words.  It is putting those words into practice. Matthew paints a picture of faith that engages the whole self: head, heart, and will woven together in a life that trusts God and serves others.

Before we leave that first mountain, Matthew invites us to follow Jesus into the valleys and villages where his teaching becomes action—action that heals, restores, feeds, and forgives. And then, just as the disciples begin to grasp who he is, Jesus leads them up another mountain. There, in the mystery of the Transfiguration, his identity shines with a clarity that both humbles and strengthens them for the journey ahead. Join us this Sunday as we trace this movement from hearing to doing to seeing, and as we listen again for the voice that calls us to follow. See you Sunday morning, in person or online.
