DisciplesNet Worship #769 Epiphany 3 – (Smith 01.26.2025)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Paul uses the symbolism of the parts of the body, all working together, as a way of seeing how the Church is supposed to work. Pastor Russ speaks to us from 1 Corinthians 12:12-31a to examine this symbolism and help us to see what we can learn about working together as the body of Christ.
Join us for just over 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.

DisciplesNet Worship #535: Proper 16 (Smith 08.23.2020)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Much of the Christian life is finding the right balance between two things that are both important, but can't be taken to either extreme. For instance, we must recognize that we are both sinful creatures, in constant need of God's grace and also recognize that we are God's own adopted children, always loved and always forgiven. Pastor Russ uses Romans 12:1-8 to help us find the right balance between the two.
Join us for 29 minutes of prayer, scripture, and a number of favorite hymns, preaching 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.
