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

In our Gospel today, three of the disciples get a glimpse of the future. Jesus takes Peter, James, and ...read more

The Transfiguration And The Second Coming Series

Contributed by James O. Davis on Oct 28, 2003

Even though we have read the record of the Transfiguration many times, I feel we have not fully understood that it is a prophetic preview of the Second Coming of Jesus. The Transfiguration was actually a glimpse of Glory and a foretaste of the future.

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

How To Overcome Temptation

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 2, 2022

All sincere Christians have some things in common. One thing is that they all want to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

They also have to contend with the devil’s throwing every temptation he can throw at them every day to try to keep them from pleasing the Lord. It is a scriptural fact, as long as we live in these mortal bodies we will have to contend with this. WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM? Because, every Christian ...read more
