    The transfiguration is a transition. Jesus' ministry (and ours) is not all power, it also involves the journey to Jerusalem and the cross.

    Mark 9:2-9 “Flip Side” INTRODUCTION The ministry of Jesus and the ushering in of the kingdom of God reach a crescendo in today’s gospel lesson. At first glance Jesus’ climb up the mountain reads much like a Marvel Comic superhero: Bruce Wayne descending into his bat ...read more

    God has revealed His big plan to you and you have an active part of it!

    This is a merry-go-round. It used to be in Leonard Park, in Joplin, MO, between 4th and 7th streets. It was just an ordinary merry-go-round, in an ordinary park. When you look at it, it looks very ordinary, doesn’t it? But, on one very ordinary evening, as a certain young man sat on this ...read more

    There were three sisters – ages 92, 94, and 96 – who lived together. One night, the 96-year-old drew a bath. She put one foot in, then paused. “Was I getting in the tub or out?” she yelled. The 94-year-old hollered back, “I don't know, I'll come and see.” ...read more

    For Transfiguration Sunday. God gives us defining, dazzling moments, perhaps only a few; but they empower us for the self-giving times and never need to be renewed.

    For many people, life peaks early, and then they seem to run downhill all the way thereafter. There are many people who do well early in life -- they have a happy childhood, they do well in school, they launch their careers, all in their early years. But then something goes wrong. Something goes a ...read more

    We Christians spend a lot of time learning how to witness. But, there comes a time when it's time to get off the bench, get in the game and use what we have learned to witness to those who are lost.

    Some years ago, I took a group to Glorieta, NM to attend a Sunday School training week. I became aware that a man by the name of Paul McClung was supposed to teach a specific witnessing strategy. Because of family connections to the McClung’s I decided I would participate in this particular ...read more
