We have super sermons this morning from Bishops Jerry and Roy, as well as Revs Jack and the Steel Minister Bryan Dabney, back exactly a month after his quadruple bypass operation with a great sermon. Rev Jack brings the Propers together today. His sermon is below the propers and can be viewed on video HERE -> https://youtu.be/VKrB-7UlXrQ
This Transfiguration is in many ways a strange event, certainly the like of which the world had never seen before and would not see again. In the Collect, we are asking to have our souls be able to withdraw from the noise, clamor and evil of the world which Bishop Cranmer summarizes as the disquietude of this world. In his Epistle, written as he nears the end of his time here on earth, Peter is at peace with what counts and separated in many respects from the disquietude of the world, set aside, or in another word, holy. He tells those who have depended on him for guidance he will soon be leaving them for home; they must carry on with the initial guidance he and his companions have given them. Luke tells us Jesus went up to a mountain; interesting he did not go to the temple, is it not? He took Peter and John and James, those to whom he was closest, and went up to pray and bring change to the world. Having trouble visualizing it all coming together? Read or listen to Rev Jack’s sermon.
There are always a lot of people who desire your prayer, start with Mr. Kim, Bryan, Tricia and Shamu, work out from there.
There is a lot going on this week, sometimes it is hard to decide if it's good or bad. In a sense it really doesn't matter, just do your best and get on with life. If you're having a hard time with that concept, ask God to give you a hand. He is happy to send his Third God Guy, the Holy Ghost into your heart.
Have an epic week,
