Transfiguring The Future

Contributed by Nathan Webb on Aug 16, 2023

The Transfiguration of Jesus not only shows us his glory, it gives us a commandment.

What would you do if you knew the future? If you knew what was going to happen, I would imagine that a trip to Vegas would be in order. At the least you would have a pretty cool party trick. In our Gospel today, three of the disciples get a glimpse of the future. Jesus takes Peter, James, and ...read more

Lost And Found

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 29, 2023

Not everybody who is lost wants to be found, and when God finds us, we often rebel - at first - against being brought home.

Have any of you ever tried to put an injured cat into a carrying case to take it to the vet? How many of you got scratched for your pains? It doesn’t seem quite fair, does it? All you’re trying to do is help. Animals are supposed to be so intuitive; many people claim they can actually smell ...read more

Give Your Life Away Series

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 5, 2022

There are at least four core commitments for Christian living: (1) abide in the Word, (2) pray your heart out, (3) be killing sin, and (4) give your life away.

Our lives tell a story—a story about who we are and what we value, where we’ve come from and where we’re going, what we want and what we’ll do to get it. And what most of us do is, we make “the story” of our lives about us. But God makes “the story” of our lives about Christ. Someone has said, ...read more
