In the Heart of the Storm

Sunday, July 17 “Jesus: Does It Matter?” series.  Traditions online worship service. As we near the end of the Jesus Does it Matter series we look at how Jesus defied the cultural expectations of his time. He was not the military or political leader that many had hoped for. And yet if you look at the descriptions of the Messiah from Isaiah and other OT texts we see quite a different portrait, one that Jesus fits into very well. Plus we’ll hear one of our favorite contemporary songs that echoes these themes. Mark 10:35-45 Isaiah 53:2-10
