  • The Church is For our Transfiguration (Not Moral Transformation)
    Pastor Mike preaches on the mistake of seeing the faith primarily as a pattern of moral transformation that inevitably leads to moralistic therapeutic deism. Our participation in the resurrected life of Christ is part of our own transfiguration as the journey from death to life, begun at our baptism and kept by our faith and faithfulness, is fully realized.
    The Transfiguration, Year B: I Corinthians 9:16-23, Mark 9:2-9
