DisciplesNet Worship #849, Proper 14 (Borschel, 08.09.2026)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

We have no promise that life will not include situations that are difficult and sometimes even scary. What do we do in situations that might cause us to fear? Pastor Audrey speaks to us from Matthew 14:22-33, the story of Jesus coming to the disciples in the midst of a storm and shows us how faith can confront our fears.
Our worship service is just over 27 minutes of prayer, some favorite hymns, teaching, 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.

We hope that as you join us for worship you will feel a blessing from being part. Please tell friends, family, and others you know about our online church that is here with doors that are always open, walls as wide as the world, and always room at the table.

DisciplesNet Worship #128, “The Purposed Word,” (Shaw 03.03.2013)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

We invite you to join us in a special time of worship with DisciplesNet Church this week, joining Rev. Bob Shaw as he gives our message, "The Purposed Word." Rev. Shaw draws upon the text from Isaiah 55:1-11 of how God's word goes into the world with purpose and does not return empty.
Our short worship together, 30 minutes includes prayer, scripture, singing, and listening to the word together with people in times and places all around the world.  We hope you will sing and pray along, either aloud or in your heart.
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."
If you would like to share with us at the table that defies all boundaries of time, place, and structure, then we ask that you prepare a wafer, cracker, or bread and a drink. As we pray, we are praying that our blessing extends 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 #127, “Seeing Through Fear” (Phelps 02.24.2013)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Our second Sunday in Lent looks at how the experience of the fear, the most basic of human emotions, brings us closer to our God and protector.  For this week's message, "Seeing Through Fear," Senior Pastor Deb Phelps draws from the writings about human fear and courage as shown in Psalm 27, as well as the God-like response of Jesus, recorded in Luke 13:34-35 as he longs to comfort God's people as a mother hen comforts her chicks.
Fear can take many forms, as can responses to it. Today we observe the second Sunday of special offering to the organization Week of Compassion, which allows us to participate in being there, providing comfort and assistance when disaster strikes around the world.

Our short worship together, 30 minutes includes prayer, scripture, singing, and listening to the word together with people in times and places all around the world.
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."
