DisciplesNet Worship #673: Lent 5 – (Mullen 3.26.2023)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

We continue our emphasis in this season of Lent on stumbling blocks, those obstacles in our path of life that will cause us to stumble and maybe fall. Today Pastor Mullen speaks to us from John 11:1-45, the story of the resurrection of Lazarus. She helps us see how fear and doubt can cause us to stumble and how recognizing the presence of God in those situations of pain can help us through them.
Our worship service is 31 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.

Of all the things Jesus did, bringing life to one who was four days dead, Lazarus, was among the greatest. How do we live as ones who know this kind of life from death is possible, especially in the times when death haunts even our waking thoughts. Rev. Sharon Watkins, brings us the word, based in John 11:1-45 to help us realize how we can live as ones unbound and how we can share this gift of life with others.
Join us for 32 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.

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 #188, “It’s Not About You, Lazarus” (Shaw 04.06.2014)

To watch this service on YouTube, click here.

The story of Lazarus coming out of the tomb raises some of the most amazing images imaginable. This friend of Jesus had been sick, and had died. By the time Jesus gets there, people think there's nothing left to do, but Jesus has other ideas. Our message today by Rev. Bob Shaw looks at John 11:17-45, a beautiful teaching Jesus gives about eternity, going way beyond the life and death of Lazarus. Continue reading →
