Title:
Peter J. Gomes - "Before It's Too Late" (February 22, 1998)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 1:52. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 25:17.

  • On Transfiguration Sunday, preacher reminds the congregation of the theme of frustration of the disciples who were unprepared and overwhelmed by this mountaintop experience in which they glimpsed Jesus transfigured into who he really was. As the church prepares for the season of Lent, the preacher calls the listeners to the practice of silence, study, and service. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Key quotation: ervice. Find something to do for somebody else. Some form of random kindness or service—not to save the world—you can’t do that, but to save your souls—you can attempt that.
