Shine On! (February 19, 2023)

When we’re used to rushing around and always looking ahead to the next event on our calendars, it can be challenging to pause and soak up the good things that are happening in our lives. In worship today, we are celebrating the Transfiguration of Our Lord. This was the moment on a mountaintop when Jesus suddenly started shining like the sun. God spoke from a cloud, surprising the disciples who witnessed it so much that they fell down in fear. In this sermon on the story of Jesus’ Transfiguration from Matthew 17:1-9, Pastor Paige encourages listeners to pause, celebrate, and truly take in Jesus’ glory. By letting Jesus’ light shine on us, we receive fuel for the journey of Lent which is about to begin.
