Denomination: Evangelical/Non-Denominational
When we see in the Transfiguration that Jesus is fully human and fully divine, listening to Him takes on great power.
Introduction: Our scripture passage took place six days after Jesus asked the disciples who people thought He was, and Peter recognized that He was the Messiah. Still the disciples didn’t really understand. As Jesus began His journey to Jerusalem, He was transfigured in front of Peter, James and ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 17:1-9

Sometimes we believe the whole world revolves around us. Other times, we wonder if God really cares about us. Psalm 8 gives an attitude adjustment for both. Our true self-esteem is found in God, who is great and greatly to be praised!
Psalm 8 Keeping things in Perspective Do you ever think that maybe Galileo and Copernicus got it wrong, that our solar system doesn’t really revolve around the sun? Because on some days it seems like the universe just revolves around you? Now let’s be honest. We all have our moments of ...read more
Scripture: Psalm 8:1-9
The story of the coming of Jesus Christ into this world begins not in the Book of Matthew, but in the Book of Genesis. The shadow of Christ can already be seen in the early verses of the first chapter of the Bible. In Genesis 1:26 God said, “Let Us make m
CREATION: REDEEMING CHAOS February 10, 2013 We begin our new series today on the redemptive plan of God as seen throughout the Old Testament and finally revealed in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ in the New Testament.

God has given us a perfect law. It still speaks God's will and word to us and if we will hear it, we will be called to follow God's perfect Son.
The Law of the Lord is Perfect I was thinking about our legal system in America. (slide 1) I looked up some information that I thought would set the stage for our sermon today. Here are some of the “Statutes at Large” 123 volumes, which make up all the laws passed by Congress. My ...read more

The Holy Ghost has the power to sweep up the shards and make from this mess a magnificent mosaic of Christ.
Fourteenth Sunday in Course: Extraordinary Lectionary The Church is in a “time that tries men's souls,” and it is not God who has put us in this trial by fire. A good friend of mine is a convert to the Catholic faith, and recently told me that if she were in the decision phase of that conversion ...read more

Jesus is not afraid of our doubts and meets us where we are. He invites us to seek evidence and find hope in Him.
Today, we're going to be talking about how even if you're tired, broken, feeling like an underdog, or even if you're doubting, there's hope for you. You know, doubt is like this balloon I have here. It starts small, but as we feed it with our fears and uncertainties, it gets bigger and bigger until ...read more
Scripture: John 20:24-29
Topics: Belief Systems, Spiritual Journey, Trust Issues, Divine Doubt
Faith is a journey into the unknown, guided by the trust and belief in God's plan for us. It's about leaving the comfort of the familiar for the promise of the unknown, and finding hope in God's promised future.
Hey guys! Ever been on a road trip with no idea where you're headed? That's what our faith journey is like. It's like being on an epic adventure where the destination isn't always clear, and the path can be full of surprises. But we trust that God is our GPS, guiding us even when we're not sure ...read more

A GPS is a device to help you find your way when you're lost. Wouldn't be great if there was one for your faith? The good news is there is.
Every phone now comes with one. However, just a few years ago, people had to purchase one. How many people still own one? I have to tell you I resisted purchasing one for some time. In fact, truth be told, the family received theirs by cashing in some credit card reward points. I resisted because ...read more
Scripture: Galatians 1:6-10
One may browse through a hundred news articles a day or reflect on the situations facing humanity with great trembling. And one may reflect back upon history to consider how history repeats itself.
I'd like to arrange several elements which we'll reference during this reflection. We'll be referencing sources including Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, the novels 1984 and Animal Farm by Orwell, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, an obscure Walt Disney film from 1979 ...read more
