Who is really doing the work of the kingdom? Is it those who profess faith in Jesus? Is it the professing and pious? Those who work wonders in his name? Jesus’s answer is, once again…unexpected. And it – joyfully! – opens new door for our own work of love and for partnering with others. It turns out, “Whoever is not against us is for us.”

It is tempting in the life of faith to seek “mountain top” experiences – those moments when we feel nearly at one with God and alive with passion. We get the sense in those moments that we are being truly “spiritual” (which is the goal, right?…wait, is it?).

In this episode we travel to a literal mountain top with Peter, James and John where they have a direct encounter with God. And what the are told to do next will probably surprise you.

The story is that of “the transfiguration.” The text is Luke 9:28-36.

One of the hardest lessons of the life of faith is…faith – trusting that God will come through on his promises.

We can all point to events in our lives and the lives of others in which it seems God failed the elemental promise of providing for our physical needs. And yet, the Bible is constantly calling us to depend more deeply upon God and to let go of our impulses to stockpile resources for a rainy day. Here are some of our pal, Ian Farrell’s, thoughts on trust as he reflects on the story of Jesus “feeding the 5000.”
