DisciplesNet Worship #819 Baptism of Jesus (Smith 1.11.2026)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Jesus teaches us how to live a life devoted God and others. One way he does that is through his gentle care and concern for all people. Pastor Russ looks at how Isaiah 42:1-9 describes God's servant and show us how "gentle power" is an apt description of Jesus' ministry, one that we, as his followers, should imitate.
Join us for just under 28 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.
