Transfiguration

The sermon today was taken from Matthew 17: 1-9.  We have a God of second chances. Thankfully, God gives us the ability to change.  Our value comes from our place in the story of God.  We should always be striving to keep moving and growing and work against getting stuck.  As we enter the season of Lent we are given the opportunity to repent and renew our faith in God.  Interesting points along the way in the sermon;

Pastor Bill shared a story of two baseball cards that were obtained for him by his aunt.  She had the great fortune to sit next to Brooks Robinson and Jim Palmer on a flight, but had no idea who they were.  They each gave her an autographed baseball card for her nephew Bill, who was an Oriole fan.  The cardboard they were printed on has little value, however like us in our story of God, they have great value in the story of Major League Baseball.
