DisciplesNet Worship #670: Lent 2 – (Shaw 3.05.2023)

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 Bob looks at the story of Jesus meeting Nicodemus at night and shows us how seeking to safely put our faith in place in our lives will cause us to stumble, how our faith must be the organizing principle of our lives.
Our worship service is just under 30 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.

Just how hard is it to love your enemy, as Jesus instructs in the Sermon on the Mount? What about going the second mile, or turning the other cheek? Rev. Dean Phelps speaks to us from Jesus' words in Matthew 5:38-48 about these difficult to follow teachings of Jesus and about our "power to choose."
Join us for just under 28 minutes of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, preaching as well as communion.
