DisciplesNet Worship #776 Lent 2 – (Cobb 03.16.2025)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

When Jesus decided to go to Jerusalem, he knew very much what to expect, so when some of the Pharisees came to him to warn him that Herod wanted to kill him, he not only faced the likelihood, but even told them to tell Herod when to expect him.
This was not bravado. It was a deliberate choice on Jesus' part to confront the powers of his day.
Pastor Anita speaks to us from Luke 13:31-35 and helps us to recognize our own call to follow God into difficult and threatening circumstances.
Join us for 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.

Table Meditation for Lent 1C – 9-Mar-25

DisciplesNet

9-Mar-25 (Luke 4:1-13)

Sometimes, like when Jesus was in the desert, we are hungry for physical nourishment. Other times, we hunger for more than just something to fill our stomachs. The small amount of bread and drink we have in front of us is not enough to slake our physical hunger or thirst, but it is more than enough, in symbolizing Jesus' own body and blood, to fill the spiritual hunger that gnaws at us in this world.… Read the rest “Table Meditation for Lent 1C – 9-Mar-25”
