DisciplesNet Worship #851, Proper 16 (Smith, 08.23.2026)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

What comes after confessing Christ as Savior? Watching some of the worst examples might give the idea that being a Christian means judging others and deciding for the world whose beliefs are right and are wrong. Rev. Russ Smith looks at it from another angle, however, preaching from the text of Matthew 16:13-20, of the Good Confession of the disciple Peter.
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 #653: Proper 28C Anniversary (Phelps 11.13.2022)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

The Gospel of Matthew ends with the Great Commission, Jesus telling his followers to make disciples all over the world. That call applies to us as well as them, but how do we hope to follow through on that? Pastor Deb speaks to us from Matthew 28:16-20 about extending the nets.
This worship service marks 12 years DisciplesNet bringing the gospel message through our worship services and other resources. We look forward to continuing our work on the Internet highways.
This worship service is just over 28 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a few favorite hymns, 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.

DisciplesNet Worship #524: Trinity (Phelps 06.07.2020)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Jesus told his disciples to "go into all the world." and throughout the 2000 years of Church history, disciples have done just that. But how can we do that in an era where pandemic and prejudice keep us apart? Pastor Deb talks about the "Great Commission" in Matthew 28:16-20 and helps us see the unique ways we can be Church in our times and places.
Join us for 31 minutes 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 #224, “The Word Goes Out” Advent 3 (R. Smith, 12.14.2014)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

How beautiful are the feet of those who brings good news of peace. Our worship today, for the Third Sunday of Advent, has the Theme of Peace, with Rev. Russ Smith sharing a special word about "beautiful feet" as the word goes out to the world about Jesus Christ.
We hope that you'll join us for Worship this week...and share it around, especially with people who may not have been able to worship in a physical church.
This worship includes special opportunities to follow along in singing, prayer, and scripture. 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." Continue reading →
