    The Light Of God That Falls Upon Us

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 14, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 421 views

    The Light of God appears, falls upon individuals, and shines at events when Heaven and Earth meet. This meeting between Heaven and Earth, God and his people, happens more often than we think. The Light falls upon us and bathes us even though we may not see it unless we are in direct union with God.

    The church tradition tells us that Jesus's transfiguration took place on Mount Tabor. The mountain rises like a sugarloaf in a vast plain in the middle of Galilee. The mountain is exceedingly high and beautiful and was anciently covered with green trees and shrubs. Therewith Jesus was Peter ...read more

    Jesus won our hearts, through His love and goodness. He is the perfect king. The king who makes you smile because he always does what’s right. He conquers our hearts through love. And right now many of us here would literally die for him. That’s an amazing thing.

    What does it mean for one to be a King? It is to be unchallenged leader of a nation, or group of nations.

    When our spiritual batteries are low - we find ourselves in need of a recharge - to POWER UP! Last week we looked at the baptism of Jesus as a means to CONNECT to the Power! As powerful an experience as that is - we shouldn’t think it is the end of the journey - but the beginning.

     | 380 views

    After Paul heard troubling reports about the church in Corinth and received a letter that the church wrote him, he responded by writing 1 Corinthians. His most basic purpose is to exhort the Corinthian church to live like who they are: “saints” or God’s holy people.

Do everything in love.” Introduction: How do you stand strong against temptation? It’s not surprising for a church to have sin problems. A church is a ...read more
