Our keynote sessions this year will focus on Jesus’ experiences in high places. The stories we read about Jesus on mountains reveal many truths about him: his identity, his teachings, and his victory over sin.

The Glory on the Mountain
High above the noise of the world, Jesus is transfigured before His disciples—radiant, divine, unmistakably more than a man. Here, the earthly shroud is pulled back, and the glory of the Son is revealed. Behold Jesus as He truly is: the beloved Son of God, worthy of awe, worship, and obedience. What we see on the mountain shapes how we walk in the valley.

The Tears on the Mountain
On the Mount of Olives, Jesus weeps, warns, prays, and surrenders. In His final moments before the cross, we see the full weight of His humanity and the depth of His obedience. Jesus is revealed as the anguished yet resolute Savior—fully God, fully man—who embraces suffering for the sake of love and calls us to trust the will of the Father in our darkest hours.

Wesley McGehee

The Blood on the Mountain
On Calvary, Jesus is lifted up—not just in victory, but in sacrifice. This place of death becomes the heart of redemption, where love is poured out and death is defeated. This declares the crucified Christ as our Redeemer—broken, bleeding, and beautiful—whose blood speaks a better word than any sermon ever preached.
