Reading 1 Samuel 17
We were asked to recount the well known story of the young shepherd boy David in his battle with Goliath.
Suzanne then provided a really interesting background to the story highlighting the unusual detail contained in this bible passage, leading to a comparison with the Greek battles in Homer’s Iliad & Odyssey
Leader : Susannah Youden
Readings : Exodus 34 1-11 Matthew 17 1-13 Transfiguration/change
The weather transforms this world changing life . Sometimes we dont always like change eg. if our plans are changed Sometimes change/transformation is necessary eg. a caterpillar is a strange looking thing until it changes into a beautiful butterfly or moth. Moses changed in God’s prescene and came down glowing so much so that he wore a veil until he met God again. The light of God was on him. Jesus began to shine when he was with His father
Meeting God through Jesus can change our lives we will will shine we will be transformed
