DisciplesNet Worship #249, “Sufficient” (DisciplesNet Phelps 05.10.2015)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

So what all does one have to do, to come to Christ? People and books will tell you many things that you have to believe and do, tests you have to pass. Yet in today’s message, guest preacher Dean Phelps invites us to look at something at the heart of the matter, looking at Matthew 16:13-16. What do you think? How might this look in your life?
Our worship is 26 minutes long, with singing, prayer, scripture, all designed for you to join in as suits you. We hope that you'll be blessed by worshiping with DisciplesNet, finding ways your own faith in God can grow in theses trying times.

As we do every week, our time together includes a time of communion (breaking of the bread) where you may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." Continue reading →

DisciplesNet Worship #246, “Disciples at Dawn” (Db Phelps 04.19.2015)

to watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Going fishing seemed like the thing to do. The disciples had watched Jesus be brought to trial, crucified, and put into a grave--and then, could it be that he was alive? Had they really seen him? They were wondering what to do, so did what came naturally. And as the sun came up on a new day, they once again found themselves face to face with the Risen Christ by the Sea of Galilee. What happened next will give us all some pointers on how to be disciples of Christ in our own situations.
Rev. Deb Phelps brings today's message based upon John 21:1-19. Continue reading →
