Psalm 104:24-35b, Romans 8:22-27, John 15:26-27; 16:4b-15

AirTags and sensors can help us find lost items. Smart phones can facilitate a search for a loved one’s location or a lost package. People can assist us in searching for a new job, house, or even a significant other. But how do we search for something that is not easily found? What if our search is not for a tangible thing? Join us this spring as we together ponder how we might find some of what we are searching for—the very longings that can raise us to new life.

In this season of resurrection and new life, we often find ourselves perplexed by the idea that we are in an "already, not yet" liminal space where even though we know that Jesus has been resurrected and is going to come again, we are still waiting for that second coming. Join us this Sunday as we are reminded of the ways that Jesus' final prayer before they were arrested and crucified was for God to watch over us and protect us, as God promised God's people in Psalm 1—continuing our series, Searching for Something…? by exploring the search for "protection."
