Portraits of Peter 3

Tonight, we look at Peter’s “rock bottom” – the turning point that made continuing in his half-heartedness impossible. He stands in teh courtyard and denies even knowing Jesus, and weeps for his own weakness as Jesus goes to his death.
But Jesus does not stay dead. Rather, he rises to new life, restores Peter, and sets him on the path to great things!

Portraits of Peter 2

Tonight, we back up from the Garden to the Upper Room, where we find Peter blustering and boasting. He wants Jesus to wash him completely, and commits to going to prison and dying with Jesus. But he’s not ready. The person he is most trying to convince is himself.
Jesus responds with grace and faith in Peter. Peter, in the face of is desperate insecurity, is known and loved.

Welcome to Worship! Maundy Thursday 2021 (April 1)

Welcome to Worship, and to the beginning of the Great "Three Days" of Easter. Typically an evening service, we are posting this in the morning for everyone to watch when they have time for reflection. The Maundy Thursday service is a service of contemplation, where we remember the upper room, the garden, the betrayal, and the trial. This year, as part of the Holy Week sermon series, we are considering the Grace that Restores. As Christ fulfills the Passover, he institutes the Holy Comuunion, by which His people are reminded of Salvation accomplished, salvation promised, and salvation possible now. The liturgy is available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FIlTq4i26nIZPGOAGanaVVJzZcHB4cS5n0fDnU8PlF8/edit?usp=sharing
