Contributed by Robert Eggers on Feb 26, 2001

There are two kinds of Christians, those who follow rules and those who follow Chirst--which are you?

Today’s gospel is from Luke 9, the account of Jesus’ transfiguration. But I would like to juxtapose that reading with an Old Testament text from Exodus.

Transfiguration

Contributed by James Jerpseth on Mar 1, 2001

The word Transfiguration is another way to say transformed. We too have been transformed by the power of hte resurrection and hte love of Jesus.

One of my favorite parts of confirmation is the day we spend in the Church going over the special vocabulary that we have in the Church world. It is a funny thing that we have a different "Churchy" name for everything that we would otherwise call by its normal or non-churchy name. For example, ...read more

As we draw closer to the Jesus who was Transfigured, we will find that God is bigger than all of our problems.

Tagging Along Or Truly Following Jesus

Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 1, 2008

Jesus called disciples to follow him. What did he really mean by "follow me"? Luke 9 gives us some insight.

Martin Luther once said, “A religion that gives nothing, costs nothing and suffers nothing, is worth nothing.” (from Philip Gunther’s intro.) What does Jesus mean when he says, “Follow me”? We need to ask ourselves, am I just tagging along or truly following Jesus? When Jesus says to us, ...read more

The Walk!

Contributed by Tony Abram on Oct 3, 2008

I believe that God calls all of His people to walk with Him. In this outline we lay out seven kinds of personal walk we have with Christ. If our desire is to be more like Him then we must walk and learn of Him daily. Not just in the Sunday morning service

The Walk (Luke 9:23 KJV) And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. (Luke 9:62 KJV) And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. I believe that ...read more

Yes, it’s the story of the transfiguration - my least favourite Gospel story. When I realised the transfiguration was scheduled for this week, I tried to get out of it.

Revealing A Great God

Contributed by William Nieporte on Nov 17, 2007

Our purpose is not to build a great church, but to reveal a great God.

His name was Simon, but his friends called him Peter. If we translated his name into our language we would probably call him “Rocky” or “The Rock.” Peter was one of Jesus best students—one of his closest followers. He had heard most of Jesus sermons and parables. He had been present for most of ...read more
