Luke 9:23-36

In this sermon, Sam Beh opens Luke 9:23-36 by examining Jesus' call to deny oneself, take up one's cross daily, and follow him as the defining marks of discipleship. He then moves to the Transfiguration, where Moses and Elijah appear with Jesus on the mountain and God the Father declares Jesus as his chosen Son, confirming Christ's divine glory and authority. Beh draws out the connection between suffering and glory, showing how the cross precedes the crown and shapes what it means to follow Jesus within Christ City Church's ongoing study of Luke's Gospel.
