DisciplesNet Worship #377 “Disputable Things” (Smith 09.17.2017)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Paul, writing to the Romans, describes how life within the Church should be. As a sign of our love for each other, we should accept and welcome the fact that all of us have different ways of working out our walk of faith. Paul warns us about being arguing amongst ourselves about things that really are a matter of choice.
We hope that you will join us in our worship, just over 26 minutes of prayer, scripture, song, and inspiring message from Pastor Russ, from Romans 14:1-5.

And as we do every week, our time together includes a time of communion (breaking of the bread) where you may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." We believe that Christ extends the invitation to all, and that we come not because we are wholly righteous, but that we are redeemed.
If you would like to share with us at the table we ask that you prepare a piece of a type of bread for you, and a drink such as grape juice, wine, or water. As we pray, our prayers are given to 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. (Scroll down for an Order of Worship)

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.

ORDER OF WORSHIP:
1. Introduction, with Pastor Bob (background music: "Blest Be the Tie" played by Dean Phelps)
2. Opening Hymn: “Gather Us In”
3. Prayer, with Lord’s Prayer: Elder Susan
4. Hymn: “They'll Know We Are Christians” (with Phoebe Speer and Dean Phelps)
5. Scripture: Romans 14:1-5, read by Russ Smith
6. Message: “Disputable Things”
9. Hymn: “Blest Be the Tie That Binds”
10. Communion: Pastor Deb

DisciplesNet Worship #313, “Different but Undivided” (Russ Smith 07.24.2016)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Racism, religious supremacism, fear of the “other” in all kinds of forms are sources of division that have always seemed to tear at the fabric of the Church, the body of Christ—and continue to do so today, sometimes with great viciousness. What is a Christian to do? How are Christians to respond and best share the Gospel with people of the world?
Centuries ago the Apostle Paul had a similar question in mind when he wrote to the Colossians to give his thoughts. In our worship this week we explore these words, with wisdom on how we behave as the church today, so we can be most effective at working where we live as Christ’s disciples. Continue reading →

DisciplesNet Worship #302, “Being One” (Huber 05.08.2016)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Something BIG is at work among Christians, often despite ourselves. Somehow we keep being called and drawn together even when we think we'd prefer not to be around ‘those’ people, even around other Christians, but ones we may not really like.
Perhaps some of it is in Jesus prayer for his disciples to be one that he prayed all those years ago, with a special part that especially carries forward even to where we are today. Our scripture today is from John 17:20-26, and our team member Daren Huber asks us to consider special places that help us feel closer to God and to each other. Where might that be for you?

DisciplesNet Worship #225, “The Word in the World” Advent 4 (Dn. Phelps, 12.21.2014)

To watch this worship service in YouTube, click here.

How could Mary know as she was told she would have a son Jesus, what all that would mean? In her day and to the world? We are still pondering that question as we observe the Fourth Sunday in Advent. We are blessed to have guest minister, Rev. Dean Phelps bring our message today about God's Word in the World, and how our choices, no matter how insignificant they seem, truly matter.

DisciplesNet Worship #215, “Be of One Mind” (Shaw 10.12.2014)

DisciplesNet

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Suppose the Apostle Paul could write a letter to our churches today...What might it say? Pastor Bob Shaw looks at this question today, preaching from Philippians 4:1-9. The names might be different, but so much applies to each of us as we work together today, despite our great differences (which if we are not careful, will divide us and the church).… Read the rest “DisciplesNet Worship #215, “Be of One Mind” (Shaw 10.12.2014)”

DisciplesNet Worship #109 – “After the Polls Close”, a Prayer Service for National Unity (SCC, 11-06-2012)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

This short worship service (22 minutes) was taped at Southport Christian Church, Indianapolis, IN, on November 6, 2012, just after the voting close on Election Day in the United States.   Following a contentious time leading up to the election, some members supporting various candidates were moved to come together in prayer for their country, that peace might be restored and wisdom prevail. The service includes music, scripture, time for prayer, and a short communion service, for it is at the table that we become one body.

We hope that people of all political beliefs and all countries will find this a meaningful way to unite after a heated election period, believing that God will respond when Christians come together in prayer for healing and guidance.
