At today’s online worship service, Rev. Jesse Larson reflects on the disciples’ expectations of Jesus—and the reality they did not want to accept. Reading from Matthew 16:21-26, Jesse reminds us that Jesus calls us all to rid ourselves of unhealthy and expectations … and to realize that God always has something greater in mind than we can imagine. Music Director Dr. May Tuan Tucker performs several favorite arrangements and provides accompaniment for two “sing-along” hymns: For the Beauty of the Earth and Take My Life.
The worship table today—celebrating the first weekend of spring—features the butterfly, one of God’s promises.
