Today, we conclude our worship series “Telling the Truth”. We live in a world that misleads us. From rage bait headlines to social media algorithms, we are presented with facades intended to engage us in a pervasive culture that draws us deeper into deceptions for someone else’s gain. As we start the new year, we’re going to risk telling the truth in church – lamenting, protesting, and complaining about what is wrong, yes, but doing so with hope that God has an alternative for us to pursue together. God’s desire is a greater good for us all. Let’s face the falsehoods around us, and seek to hear God’s alternative.

Today is also Transfiguration Sunday. On the mountain of transfiguration, the disciples glimpsed God’s glory shining through Jesus Christ. But it takes work to follow Jesus and pursue the Kin-dom alternative. We ask God to transform us so that we may listen, follow, and give ourselves in love. Rev. Ron’s sermon is “What’s Next? (Part 2: The Power of Habit)” with scripture readings from Matthew 5:14-16 and 17:1-9 and John 8:12.
