From the Mountain to the Valley: An Elijah Explanation
Mark 9:9–13

When Jesus and the disciples came down from the Mount of Transfiguration, the glory faded—but the lesson didn’t. In Mark 9:9–13, Jesus gives a strange command: Keep quiet until the Son of Man has risen from the dead. Why silence after such splendor? Why secrecy after such revelation?

In this message, Pastor G explores the meaning behind that descent, the “Messianic Secret,” the disciples’ confusion about Elijah and resurrection, and why God often gives us mountaintop moments only to lead us straight into the valley.

If you’ve ever wondered why your highest spiritual experiences are followed by your hardest seasons, this passage—and this sermon—will speak directly to your heart.
