Welcome to the Coeur d'Alene Church of the Nazarene
Connecting people to God by faith in Jesus Christ!
Come and Join us in the journey through the lent season in preparation for Easter!
Lent is marked by a time of prayer and preparation to celebrate
Easter. Since Sundays celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, the six Sundays
that occur during Lent are not counted as part of the 40 days of Lent, and
are referred to as the Sundays
in
Lent. The number 40 is connected with many biblical events, but especially
with the forty days Jesus spent in the wilderness preparing for His ministry
by facing the temptations that could lead him to abandon his mission and
calling. Christians today use this period of time for introspection, self
examination, and repentance.
Second Week of Lent - February 28-March 6
Mark 9:2-10
Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them. And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." He did not know what to say, for they were terrified. Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, "This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!" Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them anymore, but only Jesus.
As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them to tell no one about what they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead. So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead could mean.
* Imagine yourself to be present at this scene. What is it like? What are Elijah, Moses and Jesus talking to each other about? * How do you imagine the voice that says, "This is my son?" * At the end of the scene, when Jesus is standing there alone, what do you want to say to him?
