DisciplesNet Worship #839, The Great Commission (Cobb, 05.31.2026)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Jesus was no longer to be with them in the body and yet, he was calling them to even greater things than they had ever done with him. Pastor Anita speaks to us from Matthew 28:16-20 about how we have the presence of God with us at all times and can, as those earliest disciples did, boldly go into our world.
Join us for just under 30 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.

The Bible doesn't always lend itself to reading things in some chronological order and the Church has embraced the same way of dealing with our traditions. In this case, our reading skips ahead to events following Pentecost for this week and then drops back until the day of actual Pentecost. Guest preacher Dean Phelps talks about the events detailed in Acts 2:42-47 and helps us to know what the Church is called to after the times of fire and fervor.
Join us for just over 27 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, and communion.

They weren't sure what they should do, considering what was happening. They didn't know how to handle the situation. They were a bit afraid, very confused, and wondering how to keep the hope alive. They were on their way home when they met the stranger who helped them understand and hope again, but they only recognized Jesus when he broke bread with them.
Pastor Bob speaks to us from Luke 24:13-35 about the two on the road to Emmaus and how we are and can be just like them.
