Editorial Mode Theological Core The Dual Revelation of Christ The Transfiguration provides two distinct forms of sustenance for the "exhausted disciple" facing the uncertainties of faith and life: 1. Divine Glory (The Blue Halo)Jesus as the fulfillment of Law (Moses) and Prophets (Elijah). He is the authoritative "Word made flesh" who sustains us through his absolute sovereignty. 2. The Human Touch (The Gentle Hand)The transition from blinding light to a simple touch on the shoulder. "Get up. Don't be afraid." The power of God accompanies us back into the "valley" of daily struggle. "The church is not an escape; it is salvation. We lift our faces to the mountain to find courage for the valley full of broken glass." Symbolism & Context Stained Glass Analysis Blue Halo: Represents divinity and eternal glory (vs. Red for sacrifice). Moses' Horns: A historical art tradition (lightning bolts) signifying the radiance of God. The Scroll & Tablets: The convergence of all scripture into the person of Jesus. Children's Message The boy who grew too big to fit through doors (Pride) vs. finding joy in passing the ball (Humility).

The service explores the dual nature of Christ’s divinity and his personal care, providing spiritual sustenance for those exhausted by life's journeys. Community Worship and Liturgical Practice The service opened with a warm welcome to both physical and online attendees, emphasizing the inclusive nature of the congregation. The liturgy moved through a formal Call to Confession based on Matthew 7, warning against "false prophets" and emphasizing the need for "good fruit" in the life of a believer. This was followed by a communal prayer of confession and a declaration of forgiveness rooted in Hebrews 1, affirming Christ as the radiance of God's glory and the sustainer of all things. Lessons on Humility and Pride During the children's message, a narrative was shared regarding the dangers of vanity and the virtue of humility. Through the story of a boy who physically grew larger with every boast—eventually becoming too big to fit into his school or car—the speaker illustrated how bragging isolates individuals. The lesson concluded that by serving others, celebrating their successes, and practicing kindness, one finds true happiness and community belonging. The Dual Revelation of the Transfiguration Divine Glory (The Blue Halo) Reveals Jesus as the Eternal Word and fulfillment of the Law (Moses) and Prophets (Elijah). Human Touch (The Gentle Hand) The personal comfort of Jesus saying "Get up, don't be afraid," accompanying believers into the valley. Sermon: The Glory and the Touch The sermon focused on Matthew 17:1-8 and the specific depiction of the Transfiguration in the church's stained-glass windows. The preacher noted that while most halos in the church are red (signifying servanthood and sacrifice), the Transfiguration halo is blue, symbolizing Christ's divine glory. The event is described as a "magnifying glass" where the weight of the Old Testament—represented by Moses (the Law) and Elijah (the Prophets)—is condensed into the ...
