DisciplesNet Worship #454: Epiphany 7 (Smith 02.17.2019)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Jeremiah uses an analogy of a desert shrub vs a tree planted by the water to describe the life of those disconnected and those connected to God. Pastor Russ teaches on this from Jeremiah 17:5-8 and shows us what it means for us to be connected God's life-giving stream.
The worship service is 28 minutes long and includes a time of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, preaching as well as 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.

Jesus did not choose the best, the brightest, the obvious leaders when he chose his 12 disciples.
