"We're Not Alone On This Journey" | Rev. Joe Evans Special Music: Colleen Crotty, Soprano Sunday, February 14 | Great Hall First Presbyterian Church Marietta

The Word of God for the people of God.

TRANSFIGURATION SUNDAY ~ The Sunday immediately prior to Ash Wednesday is an appropriate time to celebrate the Transfiguration of the Lord, because this event marked a transition in Jesus’ ministry in which he set his face to go to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51), where he would die. In Jesus’ transfiguration, we are assured that Jesus is the hope of the ages. Jesus is the One who fulfilled the Law given through Moses, the one dreamed of by the prophets, of whom Elijah is the greates...t. In celebrating this event, we rejoice in the divine majesty of Christ, whose glory shone even when confronted with the cross. It is given us for our journey through Lent toward the agony of the cross and the victory of the empty tomb. We celebrate this mystery in order that our faith may be renewed. We are transformed into the new being in Christ as we join Christ in his death and resurrection in Lent and Easter. An excerpt from the Companion to the Book of Common Worship (Geneva Press, 2003, 148-149) Join us for virtual worship at 8:30 am here on Facebook and 11 am Facebook, on the FPC Marietta App, on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/showcase/6906747; Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist...; or the website: http://fpcmarietta.org/live-stream/ Today's sermon, "We're not alone on this journey" with Rev.
