DisciplesNet Worship #851, Proper 16 (Smith, 08.23.2026)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

What comes after confessing Christ as Savior? Watching some of the worst examples might give the idea that being a Christian means judging others and deciding for the world whose beliefs are right and are wrong. Rev. Russ Smith looks at it from another angle, however, preaching from the text of Matthew 16:13-20, of the Good Confession of the disciple Peter.
Our worship service is just over 27 minutes of prayer, some favorite hymns, teaching, 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.

We hope that as you join us for worship you will feel a blessing from being part. Please tell friends, family, and others you know about our online church that is here with doors that are always open, walls as wide as the world, and always room at the table.
