DisciplesNet Worship #835 – Easter 5 (Grogan, 05.03.2026)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Sometimes it feels like we pray and nothing changes. Jesus tells a parable about persistence in Luke 18:1-8. Pastor Amy speaks to us from this parable about praying and how to be persistent with our prayers while waiting for God's answer.
Join us for 29 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a number of 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.

Jesus often spoke in parables, short stories that tell us something about God. Some of these are difficult for us to understand. One such is the parable of the Persistent Widow.

This worship service is 31 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."

The unjust judge fears neither God nor people. But in our story, even this judge has a last nerve-- and the pesky woman got on that nerve and change happened. But just who does the widow represent? And the unjust judge? You may be surprised. We hope that you will join us in worship this week as we look at this parable of Jesus. Worship is just over 28 minutes of song, scripture, prayer, praise, and reflection. Continue reading →
