    There is more to the transfiguration of Jesus than the actual event.

    THE TRANSFIGURATION OF JESUS is another of those major events in the Bible that speak directly to us of his divine nature and point us strongly to the truth that he was indeed God’s unique and personal revelation of himself. Transfiguration Sunday therefore, is an important day on the Church ...read more

    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.

    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

    In our text, Christ reveals that to His disciples, there is a different routine to their lives.

    "And he said unto them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." For many, routine is life itself. If the routine is upset in any way, life becomes difficult to handle. For many, their daily routines consist of rising in the ...read more
