New Creation Albuquerque

Matthew 17 gives us an inside look at the Transfiguration of Jesus. We discover the good news that Jesus in his glory, meets you in your misery. He is dismantling every false security you’re tempted to trust in. He meets you in the dirt, touches you with compassion and speaks courage into your fear.

Lift up your eyes and see Jesus alone meeting you right where you are.

Jesus is calling us out of the shadows of shame, guilt and fear, inviting us to hide in him rather than from him.

Join us as we look at the Lectionary passages for week one of Lent: Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-9; Romans 5:12-19; Psalm 32. 

We can be our full selves before God, trusting him to meet us in our shame with love, grace and healing forgiveness.
