Big events in our culture are generally accompanied by much picture taking.

I have always loved the Fourth of July fireworks. I enjoy two views when watching them now. First, I enjoy the beautiful colors that dance on the skyline.

The great preacher, Phillips Brooks, titled his sermon on this text, "Vision and Task." We all need a vision lest we are not able to meet the tasks that come.

Awake To Glory ... from SermonStudio \| Sermons \| Lectionary \| Luke 9:28-36 (37-43) \| from the book Sermons On The Gospel Readings \| J. Ellsworth Kalas \|
Today we celebrate one of the most neglected passages in the Bible. It's possible that more sermons have been preached from some of the obscure places in First and Second Chronicles than from this tremendously significant scripture which describes the transfiguration of our Lord. At the time of the transfiguration, Peter finally broke the awed silence, but the Gospel writer >> More

John Calvin, the founder of the Presbyterian movement in the 1500s, once said: "To walk rightly in the Word of God is never to cease to be amazed." In our walk of faith, do we find ourselves amazed in the same kind of way that the disciples were on that mountaintop? -- Bowen >> More

When my son was younger, his favorite toys were Transformers. There was more to these innocent-looking little toys than met the eye.
