DisciplesNet Worship #643: Proper 18 (Smith 9.04.2022)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

When we choose to live life as Christians, we should know that it will cost us. Living a life of service to God and others is not easy and it is not without giving things up. How do we prepare to take on that challenge. Can we do it? Pastor Russ speaks to us from Luke 14:25-33 about counting the cost.
This worship service is 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." 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 Christian life is not easy, but we do have the promise that God will never leave us or forsake us. How then, do we live after we've chosen to walk this way? Pastor Daren Huber speaks to us from Hebrews 13:1-8, 15-16 to help us "keep the faith."
This worship service is just over 30 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a few favorite hymns, and communion.

DisciplesNet Worship #641: Proper 16 (Osvorrne 8.21.2022)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

We normally think of Jesus as courageous and powerful, but in our scripture for today, Jesus' love is characterized "like a mother hen, protecting her chicks." Minister Farrell Steven Osvorne of North Middletown Christian Church speaks to us from Luke 13:31-34 about what that image of Jesus tells us about how God loves us.
Steven speaks to us in the historic Cane Ridge, the founding place of the Christian Church movements. If you would like to know more about Cane Ridge and the early Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, follow this link.
This worship service is 30 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.
