DisciplesNet Worship #714: Epiphany – (Phelps 1.07.2024)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

The greatest gift the world has received came in the person of Jesus whom God sent to us to show us God's love in human form, to teach us how to live a life of faith in this world, and to show us how to love each other. Pastor Deb speaks to us from Matthew 2:1-12 about the coming of Jesus and how we can receive that gift and share it with others.
Our worship service is just over 27 minutes of prayer, some favorite hymns, teaching, and communion.
You may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." If you would like to share with us at the table that goes beyond earthly boundaries of time, place, and structure, we ask that you prepare a piece of bread of some type and a drink such as grape juice, wine, or water. As we pray, our prayers extend to where you are. If you are unable to eat or drink, you may want to use a symbolic gesture or mental symbol as you come together at this table of remembrance with us.

We hope that as you join us for worship you will feel a blessing from being part. Please tell friends, family, and others you know about our online church that is here with doors that are always open, walls as wide as the world, and always room at the table.

DisciplesNet Worship #337, “Epiphany” (Shaw 01.01.2017)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

In the Sunday after Christmas Sunday, we look at some folks wondering what it all meant. There were shepherds, and King Herod who saw this child as a threat and sent the Magi (Wise Men) to find him. Yet also, even unto our day, we are not so much unlike those living 2000 years ago, as we work to understand what it all means to us. We hope that our worship this week can help, as we look at scripture from Matthew 2:13-25, sing songs, pray, and hear the message, “Epiphany” from Rev. Bob Shaw. Continue reading →

DisciplesNet Worship #285, “To Save the World ” (Phelps, 01.10.2016)

"Are you the one who has come to save the world?"  the people asked the little boy.       His answer comes on the heels of our celebration of Christmas --and now, Jesus' first steps as he begins the ministry we read about in the New Testament.
Along the way this worship we'll visit John the Baptist in the wilderness and pay a visit to him in the Jordan River, where the Holy Spirit descends like a dove upon a special One whom John baptizes, and we talk about Epiphany of God's presence in the world. Continue reading →
