    What significance does the Transfiguration of Jesus have for me? Why did it all take place? Matthew 17 speaks about this spectacular event in the life of Jesus, but what does it all mean? What is the transfiguration all about?

    Matthew 17:1 – ASCENDING THE GREATEST MOUNTAIN OF ALL I was so intrigued by the fact that he had named himself. His father neglected to name him and so in his early teenage years he chose his own name; the name of a mountain. Mt Taraksh means Great One, and in keeping with his name, Taraksh ...read more

    Why did Jesus lead Peter, James and John up on the Mountain? And why would God make it so they could see Moses and Elijah speaking with Christ that day?

    The story in our text today is recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke and I believe it’s the source of the phrase “A Mountain Top Experience. So, over the past week I went searching for stories and quotes about Mountain top experiences, and I stumbled on this comment: “The Outing Club is hosting world ...read more

    My friend Nigel (who is not a Christian) once said that that when Christians speak about God, he can feel like a primitive tribesman who suddenly encounters New York City - he just can’t get his head around it. If we want to begin to get our head around God, what one thing should we do more of?

There he stays for forty days in that haze, time apart in the presence of God receiving from God the ten commandments and other laws and teachings for ...read more
