DisciplesNet Worship #824 (Borschel, 02.15.2026)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

We invite you to travel with us this week to the Sea of Galilee, where Pastor Audrey Borschel explores Jesus' teachings in the sermon on the mount from Matthew 5:1-12 and Matthew 5:21-37. During this just under 28-minute worship, we hope that you will sing along on the old hymns, join in prayer and scripture reading. We also have a special two-part reading of the beatitudes, and hope that you will take a part.
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.

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.

They were going about it all wrong, and God wanted them to know it! It wasn't as much their ritual acts and words that God wanted, but rather righteous acts and words. As we worship this week, we will look at Isaiah 58 and in the Beatitudes of Matthew 5:3-12, to get a closer look at God's heart and will for our lives.
Join us for 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.

Offering Meditation for Epiphany A5 – 8-Feb-26

DisciplesNet

8-Feb-26 (Matthew 5:13-20)

What makes the world livable? What helps us see the world in a light that gives us hope?
Surely acts of kindness and love do that better than anything else we do.
As hard as we struggle to make sense of the world and as far away as hope seems at times, dedicating our time and efforts and resources to sharing God's love in our world through concrete acts of justice and caring bring our world closer to the realm of God.… Read the rest “Offering Meditation for Epiphany A5 – 8-Feb-26”
