Transfiguration Sunday

 
Welcome to this weeks Sunday Focus, we pray you will be blessed.

Hymn - Jesus Shall Reign

 

Song -  Open the Eyes of My Heart Lord

 

Transfiguring God,
before Your Son suffered on the cross
You revealed His true glory on the holy mountain:
As we now, by faith, behold the light of His face and glimpse His glory
may we be strengthened to bear the cross,
and that we may reflect His glory to the world around;
through the same Jesus Christ
who is alive and reigns with You,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

 

 

Song - God Sits in The Highest Place

Matthew 17:1-9

The Transfiguration

17Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves. 2And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white. 3Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. 4Then Peter said to Jesus, ‘Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make three dwellings here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.’ 5While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!’ 6When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. 7But Jesus came and touched them, saying, ‘Get up and do not be afraid.’ 8And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone.

9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, ‘Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.’

  Song -  Creation Sings The Father's Song

 

Jesus, I need time away from the world’s pressing demands. Let me follow You up the mountain in prayer. Help me to leave worry behind. Let me open my heart to see Your glory and hear Your love. Draw me closer than I have been in a long time.

 

The Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen. 

 

 

Hymn  - To God Be The Glory

 

Come down from the mountain with mountain-like faith.
Walk on God's paths as bright, shining lights.
Live in God's ways with faith, hope, and love.
Go into the world transformed and renewed!
Amen
