The Transfiguration confirms “the prophetic word … to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place” (2 Peter 1:19). The divine glory of Jesus is manifested in the word of His apostles, who were “eyewitnesses of his majesty” (2 Peter 1:16).

“He was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun” (Matthew 17:2). Moses and Elijah witnessed the fulfillment of the Old Testament in this Lord Jesus, and the Father testified concerning Him: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 17:5). By His own blood, shed on the cross, Jesus makes and seals the new covenant with us.

Hence, “the appearance of the glory of the Lord” is no longer “like a devouring fire” (Exodus 24:17), but it is graciously revealed in His own body. As “Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel” went up the mountain with Moses and “beheld God, and ate and drank” (Exodus 24:9, 11), we also behold the Lord our God in Christ Jesus, and we abide with Him as we eat and drink His body and blood at the altar.

In the event of weather that makes it unsafe to drive to worship, the Elders will work with Pastor to determine if we need to cancel Sunday worship or other activities. Please tune to KMBC (local ABC affiliate channel 9) for closure notification.
We will also update our website and our Facebook page, and you may receive e-mail notification from the church office.
If possible, we will post a pre-recorded sermon message from Pastor Dunn on our Facebook page by our usual worship time.
