DisciplesNet

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Our worship today continues with the theme of wondering when Jesus is coming back, and what we are to do in the meantime. The Christians of Jesus' day, and of the time years later when the Gospel of Matthew was written, faced persecution, questions, and other issues.… Read the rest “DisciplesNet Worship #706: Proper 27A – (Shaw 11.12.2023) 13th Anniversary”

DisciplesNet Worship #453: Epiphany 6 (Grogan 02.10.2019)

to watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Jesus chose us to be the representatives of God's realm here on earth. What does it mean to accept that call? Pastor Amy teaches from Mark 1:14-20 about the privilege and opportunity of being a part of God's work.
The worship service is 30 minutes long and includes a time 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.

DisciplesNet Worship #452: Epiphany 5 (Shaw 02.03.2019)

to watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Jesus did not choose the best, the brightest, the obvious leaders when he chose his 12 disciples. Just as then, Jesus chooses unlikely people, like us, to be his messengers and representatives in this world. Pastor Bob uses Luke 5:1-11 and shows us how it is Jesus' choice that makes us right for the job and not what we might imagine the qualifications to be.
The worship service is just over 25 minutes long and includes a time 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.

How do we best serve God? First and foremost, we must follow Jesus' lead and be ready to humbly give everything. Rev. Charles Webb, Jr. uses Mark 10:35-45 to show us Jesus' commitment to God's way at any cost and how we, as Jesus' followers, are called to do the same.

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

“Whoever should follow me must hate his mother and father, his brother.... Hand raises. "Uh Jesus?  Did I hear you correctly?  Just what does this mean?   And… will it be worth it?"   Our worship today looks at following Christ through the lens of one of the most misunderstood passages of scripture, Luke 14:22-33, where Jesus gives to his disciples words that have been translated into some of the most confusing lessons in scripture.
