DisciplesNet Worship #351, “Learning from Lazarus” (Grogan 04.02.2017)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here

One of the most amazing stories of Jesus is when he goes to the home of his friend Lazarus, who had died a few days before, and raises him from the dead. This story is only in the Gospel of John. Some people see it literally, others see the telling of Lazarus’ story as a metaphor for the disciples of that time, and others see it through other different lenses.   We invite you to worship today as we look at this passage, and the take away from it all, regardless of how we interpret the story: the love of God, the resurrection of a soul, can bring new life not just in the hear after—but in our everyday situations.

DisciplesNet Worship #252, “Treasures in Jars of Clay,” R. Smith (05.31.2015)

The Bible speaks of us as having treasures in jars of clay, but do you ever feel like a “cracked pot”?  We hope you’ll stick with us for just over 27 minutes for this worship, ready when you are, as we worship God in prayer, song, scripture and message that our worship team has made ready for you.

DisciplesNet Worship #240, “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” (Shaw, 03.15.2015)

Click here to watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Jesus comes to us in clean, well-lighted places, and in the dark moments of our lives, too. When all is said and done, we are left with the light of God's love to share wherever we go.  We hope you'll join us for worship this week as we look at the light and love of Christ.  Pastor Bob Shaw will be bringing our message today, based on the text John 3 14-21.

Our 26 minute worship today brings the special gifts of pastor-musician Dean Phelps, who shares three old favorite hymns with us, hopping that you will join in.
And as we do every week, we will share communion together at the end of worship (breaking of the bread). We pass along the invitation to join in 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 all 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 are given to 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. (Scroll down for an Order of Worship)

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.

If We Never Meet Again (this side of Heaven)

To watch this video on YouTube, click here.

We invite you to listen or sing along with us on this old gospel favorite, written by Albert E. Brumley and recorded by Dean Phelps. We've added photos, scripture and words to Dean's recording from his CD, Going Over Home (1997), especially for our online viewers.

This song is a powerful one that many find comforting and reassuring at the time of the death of a loved one, or as their own death nears.   If you have found this song under these circumstances, we offer our sincere prayers for you; we've produced this video as part of our ministry for people during such trying times.  We give permission to use this in a worshipful manner, including in a memorial or funeral setting, but it is not for resale.

All of our work at DisciplesNet is offered free so that cost is less likely to be a barrier, but it does cost us to produce each video, and we are so grateful for ones who've made contributions that have made sharing this video and global ministry possible.   If you would like to make a one time or ongoing contribution to help us make and share more videos like this, please visit our website at www.disciplesnet.org.

You can also email us at pastor@disciplesnet.org, with questions, comments, or contributions.

We are grateful to pastor and musician Dean Phelps for permission to use his recording here. Find this and more of Dean's work at deanphelpsmusic.com.  The CD Going Over Home is out of print, but the songs are available for download on his site.

Thanks for joining us!  And may God's healing and uplifting presence be with you this day and for all eternity.

Your friends at DisciplesNet Church
