DisciplesNet Worship #532: Proper 13 (D. Phelps 08.02.2020)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

As Christians we are called to love our neighbor and Jesus makes it clear that "neighbor" means anyone we encounter, even those we find hardest to love and least likely to love us back. Rev. Dean Phelps, Interim Regional Minister of the Christian Church in Kentucky uses Jesus' parable of the traveler and the Samaritan from Luke 10:25-37 to help us understand how to reach out in love to all those "others."
Join us for 27 minutes of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, preaching as well as 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.

"Where can I go, to hide from your presence?" asks the Psalmist. Pastor Russ looks at Psalm 129 and the story of Jacob from Genesis 28:10-19a to help us remember that there is nowhere we can be that is apart from God. He also helps us recognize those ways in which we make it harder to sense God's constant presence.

It's been said that "You can't please everyone." but sometimes those who find fault can really get you down.

Not all of us are called to preach, but all of us are called to share what we know of God's love for all people.

"Look at the fields. They are ripe with harvest." Jesus told his disciples. That was true in their time, and Pastor Russ shows us that many of the same types of things that made that time just right for the disciples to go and share the Good News are also true of our own time. Even in a time of pandemic and raw aggression. The call from Matthew 9:35-38 still holds for those of us who are Jesus' disciples.
Join us for 30 minutes of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, preaching as well as communion. You may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me."
