DisciplesNet Worship #798 Proper 15 – (Shaw 08.17.2025)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

What does it mean to have a "cloud of witnesses" around us? What does it mean for us to take our place in that great cloud of witnesses? Pastor Bob speaks to us from Hebrews 11:29-12:2 about the people who lived lives of faith that we can use as examples and how we can be examples to those who come after us.
Join us for just over 30 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.

DisciplesNet Worship #797 Proper 14 – (Cobb 08.10.2025)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Jesus says in Matthew 10:32-40 that he doesn't come to bring peace to the Earth. What does he mean? How do we reconcile that with his ministry of love and caring for the other? Pastor Anita takes us through this apparent contradiction and helps us not only to understand what Jesus meant but also to hear his call to be different from the world in order to make a difference in the world.
Join us for just over 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.

DisciplesNet Worship #796 Proper 13 – (Smith 08.03.2025)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

One of the most important aspects of being Christian is that we have love for each other. We may have many things that are different about us, from one to another, but we're all children of God and we're Christians. Pastor Russ speaks to us from Colossians 3:12-17 about the call for unity among believers as well as the call to celebrate the uniqueness in each of us.
This worship service also includes a mini-hymn sing of Blest Be the Tie that Binds, Weave, and Come Share the Lord.
Join us for 26 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.
