DisciplesNet Worship #633: Proper 8 (Shaw 6.26.2022)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

There came a time in Jesus' ministry when "he set his face toward Jerusalem." Everything from that point on was to culminate in that last week and the clash with civil and religious authorities of his day. He knew the cost, yet "he set his face." Pastor Bob speaks to us from Luke 9:51-62 and show us how we can face those situations in our lives where we will clash with titanic forces.
This worship service is just over 27 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a few 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 #415: (Shaw 06.03.2018)

to watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Jesus has some hard words for his followers today about counting the cost of being a disciple. Pastor Bob takes us through some of the consequences, the problem we all face in trying to do this and reminds us that being a disciple has benefits as well.
Our worship today is 28 minutes long and includes a time of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite Easter 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.
