DisciplesNet Worship #747 Proper 16 – (Mullen 8.25.2024)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Jesus said a lot of things that are hard for us, not simply to understand, but to do. Pastor Mary Beth Mullen speaks to us from John 6:56-69 about one such time when some of Jesus' disciples actually left him. She talks about how Jesus "has the words of life" and how we can have the courage to continue to follow him.
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. 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.

Offering Meditation for Proper 16B – 25-Aug-24

DisciplesNet

25-Aug-24 (John 6:56-69)

Following Jesus is not easy and it's usually not intuitive either. We have to listen to God's Spirit very carefully to understand what we are really called to do. There are some parts of it that are easy to understand (and yet still take a lot of effort to do well:)
The scriptures are clear that we are to represent the love of God that we know through Jesus by loving others.… Read the rest “Offering Meditation for Proper 16B – 25-Aug-24”

Jesus said, "I am the Bread of Life." How do we understand that? Pastor Anita speaks to us from John 6:51-58 and helps us understand what Jesus meant and what "eating from the Bread of Life" can do for us.
