DisciplesNet Worship #135, “Easter, Page Two”(Nirmal 04.07.2013)

Welcome to this week’s DisciplesNet worship experience!
For the Sunday following Easter Sunday, the church traditionally looks at the story of Jesus’ disciples as they begin to have meetings with the risen Jesus.  From these post-resurrection appearances, the disciples began to better comprehend what had happened with Jesus’ crucifixion, resurrection, and expectation now that they as Jesus’ disciples carry on his work of sharing the Good News of God’s love and redeeming grace with the world.  This Sunday traditionally focuses especially upon disciple Thomas, who had been absent when Jesus’ appeared to his disciples hiding behind closed doors.  Thomas picked up the nickname, “doubting Thomas” from his exclamation that he would have to put his hands in the scars on Jesus’ hands and side to believe that it was really Jesus.
Tradition also has it that as the disciples spread out to share the Good News as Jesus instructed, Thomas went eastward, including to India.
This Sunday DisciplesNet Church is especially blessed to have our sermon message delivered to us by DisciplesNet team member, Rahul Nirmal, from his home in India. We hope you will join us now as Minister Nirmal challenges us to put ourselves in some of some of the post-resurrection scenes as we come to understand the place that Jesus has in our own lives today.

Our short worship time together, 30 minutes, includes prayer, scripture, singing, and listening to the word together with people in times and places all around the world.  We bring special music for today in the soulful, “Seek Ye First,” sung by Phoebe Spier, and “Ten Thousand Angels,” sung by the Southport Christian Church gospel quartet.
As we do every week, our time together includes a time of communion (breaking of the bread) where 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 defies all boundaries of time, place, and structure, then we ask that you prepare a wafer, cracker, or bread and a drink.  As we pray, we are praying that our blessing extends 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.  (Scroll down for an Order of Worship)

DisciplesNet Worship #127, “Seeing Through Fear” (Phelps 02.24.2013)

Our second Sunday in Lent looks at how the experience of the fear, the most basic of human emotions, brings us closer to our God and protector.  For this week’s message, “Seeing Through Fear,” Senior Pastor Deb Phelps draws from the writings about human fear and courage as shown in Psalm 27, as well as the God-like response of Jesus, recorded in Luke 13:34-35 as he longs to comfort God’s people as a mother hen comforts her chicks.
Fear can take many forms, as can responses to it. Today we observe the second Sunday of special offering to the organization Week of Compassion, which allows us to participate in being there, providing comfort and assistance when disaster strikes around the world.

Our short worship together, 30 minutes includes prayer, scripture, singing, and listening to the word together with people in times and places all around the world.
As we do every week, our time together includes a time of communion (breaking of the bread) where 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 defies all boundaries of time, place, and structure, then we ask that you prepare a wafer, cracker, or bread and a drink.  As we pray, we are praying that our blessing extends 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.  (Scroll down for an Order of Worship) Continue reading →
