Finding Your Bearings
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?

Making Peace in Jerusalem
Palm Sunday, April 10 “Finding Your Bearings” series. Traditions online worship service.
As the palms wave and hosannas are sung. Jesus rides humbly into Jerusalem and into our lives. Jesus is making right all that we have made wrong in the world and inviting us to be a part of God’s kingdom. It’s not a king or a kingdom that we could ever imagine – but one that we desperately need.
John 19:29-44
A Message on the Mountain
Sunday, April 3 “Finding Your Bearings” series. Traditions online worship service.
Digging into the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew’s gospel we find Jesus at his best. Transforming and fulfilling the law, never replacing or refuting it. How can we follow the example of Christ to live fully in this moment, loving and seeing others as God sees them? Everyone builds something with their life – will it be a material stronghold? A prison? Or will we join the Christ in building God’s kingdom on earth as in heaven?
