Lent: a spiritual detox for your soul, where we trade in excess for introspection, and fast-paced living for a mindful journey, all centered on the love of Jesus.

Join Rev Seth for the final sermon in our Royalty Revealed series "The Transfigured King". In this final talk we learn that Jesus isn't just another teacher or leader—he's the Divine King, God Himself come to us, fully human and fully divine.

Through the Transfiguration, Jesus unveils his divine glory, unveiling his true identity as our Divine King. Embracing Jesus as God and King isn't just a choice—it's the gateway to an authentic relationship that saves us from sin and transforms our lives profoundly.
