Today's worship looks at telling the old, old story in new ways, extending the nets in a way that can cover the world. For this, we look at the scripture in Matthew 28:16-20 where Jesus' gives the "Great Commission" and the apostle Paul's image of the body of Christ in 1 Corinthians 12:12-28.
DisciplesNet Worship #35 comes to you in celebrating Pentecost, the birthday of the church. In addition to a meaningful message and story by Rev. Bob Shaw of DisciplesNet, we have several other inspirational pieces that contribute to this worship.
Welcome to "The Gift of Pentecostt," a special 10-minute offering for you in celebration of Pentecost and the birthday of the church. This has been created by the leadership of DisciplesNet Church for our DisciplesNet members and friends around the world, and for all others who would be blessed in sharing the reminders of the special gift of wholeness that first came to the disciples at Pentecost.
For today's worship we bring back guest preacher and professor, Rev. Dr. Ronald Allen , with the teaching sermon on the parable of the soil in Mark 4:1-20. Dr. Allen looks at the question, "What do you do when you have given your best and things haven't worked out as you planned?"

DisciplesNet's worship #29 continues the Easter and resurrection story, picking up that first day as the risen Jesus accompanies his followers, who don't yet know who he is, as they are on the road to Emmaus. In her message, Pastor Audrey Borschel inspires the church to, like those early disciples, know the Christ in the breaking of the bread.
Today's scripture looks at the John 20:19-30 passage about the disciple Thomas, who missed out on seeing the risen Christ on Easter evening.
