DisciplesNet Worship #654: Thanksgiving & Reign of Christ C (Borschel 11.20.2022)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Toward the end of the growing seasons, many cultures celebrate the abundance of what has been gathered as they prepare for the months when food is scarcer. Both the Hebrew and Christian cultures in the Bible celebrated God's providing for them and gave God thanks. This worship service is our way of doing that before we move into the time of Advent.
This worship service is just over 29 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.

The Gospel of Matthew ends with the Great Commission, Jesus telling his followers to make disciples all over the world. That call applies to us as well as them, but how do we hope to follow through on that? Pastor Deb speaks to us from Matthew 28:16-20 about extending the nets.
This worship service marks 12 years DisciplesNet bringing the gospel message through our worship services and other resources. We look forward to continuing our work on the Internet highways.

In the book of Genesis, we hear God giving humanity dominion over all creation. What does that mean? Should we force creation to do our will? Pastor Deb looks at Proverbs 2 and shows us how real dominion is done with gentleness and wisdom following God's example.
This worship service is just under 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."

DisciplesNet

6-Nov-22 (Luke 20:27-38)

In our gospel reading for today, Jesus talks about marriage and says that when God's Realm comes fully into being, it will no longer be necessary. In a broader sense, Jesus is warning us that a lot of what we consider to be important aspects of our life here and now will be exchanged for other things in the Realm of God.… Read the rest “Table Meditation (Gospel) for Proper C27 – 6-Nov-22”

DisciplesNet Worship #651: Proper 26C All Saints (Shaw 10.30.2022)

As we seek to live the life of faith, it is often helpful to consider those who have made that effort before us. Those "saints" who faced the same struggles and knew many of the same joys that we do can help us stand firm in our faith. Pastor Bob speaks to us from Luke 19:1-10 and helps us remember those who have gone before us.
