Today we exult in the vision of God’s exaltation of Jesus and in anticipation of our own transfiguration now and in the age to come. That hope, that vision, drives us not to stay where we are on the mountaintop, but to get into the valley of sin and suffering and be a healing and formative presence for all who seek God’s salvation with us in the weeks of Lent that lie ahead.

Exodus 24:12-18
Psalm 99
2 Peter 1:16-21

February 19: HOPE

Third in a Four-part Focus with the Annual Stewardship Campaign in support of the Operating Ministries of Hudson UMC.

Blessings are a gift of God in God’s kingdom. Rewards are the result of living more fully into the ways of God’s kingdom, or as we might say, “growing in holiness of heart and life.” Jesus reminds us of ways we can stay on or stray from the trail God’s kingdom blazes for us in this life.

February 5: TRUTH

First in a Four-part Focus with the Annual Stewardship Campaign in support of the Operating Ministries of Hudson UMC.

In light of who and what God is blessing and how different that is from what the world and sometimes even the church seems to bless, how do we then live? As salty, light-shining people whose righteousness abounds!

Isaiah 58:1-12
Psalm 112: 1-10

Matthew 5:13-20

Psalm 40:1-111
Corinthians 1:1-9
