to watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

We invite you to join us for DisciplesNet worship #103, with Rev. Russ Smith preaching about what he calls Significant Insignificance. We hope you will join us and see how he has applied his message to Jesus' teachings in Mark 9:30-37.
Along with our message we are share many musical favorites, "Jesu, Jesu,", "Here I Am Lord," and "Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross." We hope you will sing or follow along as the song is played.

Our worship includes a time of communion (breaking of the bread)--for which we extend the invitation given by Jesus Christ to all who would come. If you would like to share with us in this time at the table that passes all boundaries of place, time, and walls, then we ask that you prepare a wafer, cracker, or bread and a drink, and we ask that our blessing will extend to where you are. If you are unable to eat or drink, use a symbolic gesture or mental symbols of joining with us.

We hope you will join us for this short time of worship (28 minutes), and will be blessed by participating. Please tell friends, family, and others you know about our online church that is here with doors that never close, walls as wide as the world, and always room at the table. Continue reading →

DisciplesNet Worship #100, “How Do You Say ‘Thanks?'” (Phelps, 09.02.2012)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

We offer a special invitation to our 100th Worship Video. As we were preparing for this we felt profoundly grateful so it seemed natural to take Psalm 100 as our theme. You will see a number of our worship team members and some special guests helping read this in a memorable way.

Our message today looks at saying thanks to God, asking the question, “How do you say thanks?” Rev. Dr. Deb Phelps, our senior minister and founding pastor, brings this inspiring word.
One of our extraordinary blessings comes in this worship in the form of a meditation on gratitude, given for our DisciplesNet viewers by Rev. Dr. Fred Craddock, an old friend and mentor to members of our worship team, and one of many advisors who have helped DisciplesNet make sense of its vision since we got our start in 2010.
