DisciplesNet Worship #673: Lent 5 – (Mullen 3.26.2023)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

We continue our emphasis in this season of Lent on stumbling blocks, those obstacles in our path of life that will cause us to stumble and maybe fall. Today Pastor Mullen speaks to us from John 11:1-45, the story of the resurrection of Lazarus. She helps us see how fear and doubt can cause us to stumble and how recognizing the presence of God in those situations of pain can help us through them.
Our worship service is 31 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.

Table Meditation (Gospel) for Lent 5a – 26-Mar-23

DisciplesNet

26-Mar-23 (John 11:1-45)

Meditation:

So, Lazarus is raised from the dead.  Raised to do what?  Sure, every time one of the people who were present at that resurrection sees Lazarus walking around, they'll think about the power of God who raised him, but neither Jesus nor God seem to be really concerned with bringing faith through signs and wonders in John's Gospels.  … Read the rest “Table Meditation (Gospel) for Lent 5a – 26-Mar-23”

We continue our emphasis in this season of Lent on stumbling blocks, those obstacles in our path of life that will cause us to stumble and maybe fall.

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

We continue our emphasis in this season of Lent on stumbling blocks, those obstacles in our path of life that will cause us to stumble and maybe fall. Today Pastor Anita speaks to us from the story of Jesus meeting a Samaritan woman at a well and shows us how carrying too many even necessary things will cause us to stumble and how we must learn to let go.
