DisciplesNet Worship #826 (Smith, 03.01.2026)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

The Pharisee Nicodemus came to Jesus at night to ask him some questions that had been burning in his mind. He wanted to know what Jesus knew about the Realm of God and how people could live as God's servants. He wanted to know about how God's spirit could live in human beings. Pastor Russ speaks to us from John 3:1-17 about how God's spirit can live in us as well.
Join us for just under 29 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, 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 #825 (Cobb, 02.22.2026)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

After Jesus was baptized and starting out his ministry--he had a tough and remarkable experience that connected him in a unique way with God's children here on earth. What was it, and how did he get through? We invite you to join Pastor Anita Cobb as she brings the message today, based upon Matthew 4:1-14.
During our just-under-26-minute time together we hope that you will sing along on the hymns and join in our prayer and scripture.

At the last part of worship, we'll be sharing in a time of communion: breaking of the bread together. This is a symbolic act for us, remembering Jesus' words to his disciples at the last supper, to share in the communion in remembrance of him.

If you prefer, you can use the few minutes of communion for prayer and meditation. If you would like to share in communion with us physically, please have ready a piece of bread or similar food, and some type of drink (we use grape juice, but other drinks will work). These represent the broken body and the blood of Jesus Christ given on our behalf. As we pray for the communion, our prayer includes what is on the table before you.

We hope you will feel at home worshipping with us and feel a blessing from being part. Please help us spread the word about DisciplesNet Church, especially to those who are not able to attend a physical church.
May God bless you richly!
