On Sunday, March 8th, I preached over the "Transfiguration" and focused upon the fear involved in the story. In this time we are becoming far too familiar with fear.
I discuss a the impact of "Covid 19" in our world. At this time the sermon is a bit dated in the information about the virus, as this virus and the knowledge and news about it is evolving each and every day.
Please forgive me for being so slow in getting this up and running but it's been a crazy time.
Be a blessing to someone today!
God bless,

Matthew 17:1-9 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
The Transfiguration
17 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves. 2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white. 3 Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. 4 Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I[a] will make three dwellings[b] here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 5 While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said, “This is my Son, the Beloved;[c] with him I am well pleased; listen to him!” 6 When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. 7 But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Get up and do not be afraid.” 8 And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, “Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”
