After Jesus was baptized and starting out his ministry--he had a tough and remarkable experience that connected him in a unique way with God's children here on earth. What was it, and how did he get through? We invite you to join Pastor Anita Cobb as she brings the message today, based upon Matthew 4:1-14.
During our just-under-26-minute time together we hope that you will sing along on the hymns and join in our prayer and scripture.

At the last part of worship, we'll be sharing in a time of communion: breaking of the bread together. This is a symbolic act for us, remembering Jesus' words to his disciples at the last supper, to share in the communion in remembrance of him.

If you prefer, you can use the few minutes of communion for prayer and meditation. If you would like to share in communion with us physically, please have ready a piece of bread or similar food, and some type of drink (we use grape juice, but other drinks will work). These represent the broken body and the blood of Jesus Christ given on our behalf. As we pray for the communion, our prayer includes what is on the table before you.

We hope you will feel at home worshipping with us and feel a blessing from being part. Please help us spread the word about DisciplesNet Church, especially to those who are not able to attend a physical church.
May God bless you richly!
