Transferable Gospel - Well Done My Son

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 3, 2018

The transfiguration of Jesus moves around in the liturgical calendar but always appears before a great trial ahead for Jesus.

Arise, Shine: Radiate

Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Mar 5, 2018

"Arise, Shine" was our Epiphany 2018 Series. This was the final installment (Transfiguration Sunday). In short, as Christ radiantly revealed His glory to the disciples, we radiate the light, the life, and the love of Jesus to all the world.

His Glory Revealed Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 10, 2018

Peter, James , and John were blessed to journey with Jesus up on the Mount of Transfiguration. They experienced much there, but learned that Jesus alone was enough!

His Glory Revealed Mark 9: 1-8 As we continue through the gospel of Mark, I want to offer a reminder that the breakdown of Scripture in specific chapters and verses was not an act of divine inspiration. The chapter and verse divisions were added by the translators for ease of Bible reading, study, ...read more

Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 25, 2018

The Transfiguration, A Mountain Top Experience For Us All.

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Feb 11, 2018

Reality? Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on May 22, 2017

Are we really living our lives with the reality of God?

You’ve heard of the saying “Let’s get real!”? Wouldn’t it be great if we actually all live in reality. But there’s a problem isn’t there? Why can’t we all get along? The problem of not getting along is because people have all sorts of definition for reality! Even in marriages, expectations rather ...read more

Transfiguration Sunday 2018

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 20, 2018

Many Christians in our churches follow Jesus but still have doubts. Their faith has not become crystal clear for them. There are things about Jesus that are cloudy for them like looking through a dark glass. Maybe you are one of them?
