SV008-Edu, Faith Seeking Understanding: Lesson 1

Rev. Russ Smith's calling is to help individuals explore more about God and the ways they think about God.
In this first of a series, Rev. Smith opens with scenes from the comedy, Monthy Python and the Holy Grail, that depict God--to begin this journey of thought about how we see God. Smith also uses a fun version of the "Blind Men and the Elephant" poem and other examples to launch us on this adventure in thought, growth, and above all, faith in God.

DisciplesNet Worship # 63, New Year’s, (Shaw, 01-01-2012)

Welcome to DisciplesNet Worship! To open the New Year, Rev. Bob Shaw brings a message of preparedness based on the vision of Simeon and Anna in the temple where new parents Mary and Joseph took their new son, Jesus (Luke 2:22-40, the Epiphany).

Also on this worship are offerings from a number of our DisciplesNet ministry team, including guest, Rev. Charles Webb, reading scripture for us.
Join us in worship as we sing Christmas favorites, "Joy to the World," "O Come, All Ye Faithful," "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," and "Go, Tell It on the Mountain."
As customary during DisciplesNet worship, we pass along Christ's invitation to the table. The way this works is that from your location, if you supply some type of bread or wafer and drink, we will bless your table as part of the table before us. Continue reading →
