Scripture: Exodus 34:29-35 and Luke 9:28-43a

Sermon: We See You by Rev. Mark Harper

“Significance: to have a distinct mark, to be known. I long to be known and to know I belong. In an era of tyrants, the desire to be known is not only personal but political. Performative cruelty demands submission of individuality, hiding our true selves, and reduces the value of each person’s dignity to a punch line. My desire to know myself and be known is an “anchor for the soul, firm and secure: (Hebrews 6:19) beyond the tumult of dehumanizing forces.” -Rose Marie Berger

At the rind.” -Langston Hughes
