DisciplesNet Worship #641: Proper 16 (Osvorrne 8.21.2022)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

We normally think of Jesus as courageous and powerful, but in our scripture for today, Jesus' love is characterized "like a mother hen, protecting her chicks." Minister Farrell Steven Osvorne of North Middletown Christian Church speaks to us from Luke 13:31-34 about what that image of Jesus tells us about how God loves us.
Steven speaks to us in the historic Cane Ridge, the founding place of the Christian Church movements. If you would like to know more about Cane Ridge and the early Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, follow this link.
This worship service is 30 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 #458: Lent 2 (Smith 03.17.2019)

to watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Sometimes we feel all alone in the world. Yet God longs to draw us into a safe place near God's own heart. Pastor Russ uses Luke 13:34-35 and Jesus' words of longing to hold and protect all of God's children to help us understand how much God loves us all.
The worship service is 34 minutes long and includes a time 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.
