DisciplesNet Worship #612: Epiphany 4 (Smith 1.30.2022)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

As Christians, we are all called to share God's words with the world. How do we do that? How can we speak God's words without inserting too much of ourselves into them? How can we speak God's words and also hear them ourselves? Pastor Russ speaks to us from Jeremiah 1:4-10 and helps us to see how we can indeed speak God's words.
This worship service is 28 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a few 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.

When we as Christians refer to Jesus as the Messiah, what do we mean. For us Jesus is the one sent by God into the world to help us understand who God is and what God wants of us.

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Who is Jesus? Is he a prophet that calls people to repentance and renewed faith in God? Is he a leader who leads people in the righteous way? Pastor Audrey teaches from the early chapters of John, including today's gospel scripture John 2:1-11 as well as 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 to help us see the answer to that question. "Who is Jesus?"

Even at the time of Jesus, when it was also known as "the City of David," Bethlehem was a most unlikely place for a king to be born. Yet, the small, out of the way, village was to be the birthplace of the savior. Pastor Russ speaks to us from Micah 5:2-5a, read in our Advent Candle lighting, and helps us see that God is to be expected in unlikely places, including our own hearts.

DisciplesNet Worship #603: Advent 2 (Webb 12.05.2021)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Through the words of the prophet Malachi, God's people hear God's intention to send refine them "as silver and gold are refined". Silver and gold are refined in a super-heated fire that melts them and allows impurities to rise to the surface where they can be removed. This does not sound like a pleasant process, yet Rev. Charles Webb Jr speaks to us from Malachi 2:17-3:4 and helps us to see that we need not fear that refining fire.
This worship service is just over 28 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a few 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.
