DisciplesNet Worship #723: Lent 4 – (Phelps 3.10.2024)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

In a world that tells us constantly that we don't matter, we matter to God. That is not something we earn. It is God's gift to us. Pastor Deb speaks to us from Numbers 21:4-9 and John 3:14-21 about the grace of God freely given to each and every one of us.
Join us for just under 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.

When God instituted the Law and the Temple, the focus was on showing people how to live in right relationships with God and each other. When this was misunderstood, these institutions actually stood in the way of people learning right relationships.
