    Lent 2 - Doing the Next Right Thing

    Paul’s letter to the Philippians illustrates how joy and courage can coexist with hardship. Father Casey reflects on Paul’s courage, James Harrison’s selfless blood donations despite fear, and Jesus’s unwavering commitment to his mission. He emphasizes that courage is not the absence of fear but the determination to act despite it. Whether facing imprisonment, physical fear, societal panic, or mortal threats, true strength lies in choosing to do the next right thing. Sermon preached by The Rev. Casey Shobe on The Second Sunday in Lent.  We invite you to view the full service HERE.  Learn more about our community by visiting www.transfiguration.net.

    Lent 1 - Forty Whole Days?!

    As we begin Lent, Mtr. Rebecca reflects on how difficult it can be to observe a Holy Lent, because we are accustomed to our creature comforts. Each of us has an empty place inside our souls that belongs to God alone. Lent is a season in which we stop trying to fill this emptiness with material things long enough to allow God to move in and take up residence. Sermon preached by The Rev. Rebecca Tankersley on The First Sunday in Lent.  We invite you to view the full service HERE.  Learn more about our community by visiting www.transfiguration.net.
