Redefining Beauty

Sunday, October 9 “How Beautiful” series.  Traditions online worship service. This week we consider how Jesus defines what is beautiful and blessed in the Beatitudes (Matthew 5).

In The Garden

Sunday, August 14 “This Is My Song” series.  Traditions online worship service. We continue in our sermon series on our favorite worship songs this Sunday as we consider the 20th-century hymn: “In the Garden (I come to the Garden Alone)”. “In the Garden” was written by C.

Courageous Thomas

Sunday, May 1 “Finding Your Bearings” series.  Traditions online worship service. Everyone gives “doubting” Thomas a hard time for his lack of faith in the resurrection of Jesus. In fact his name has become a cliché – and yet Jesus gives him the answers he needs and calls him blessed. What can we learn from his story and how can we find our true north when we’ve lost our way? Jeremiah 17:5-8 John 20:19-29

Resurrection Day
