DisciplesNet Worship #604: Advent 3 (Cobb 12.12.2021)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Things have not been easy for us, especially in recent times. Yet we can choose to respond, in spite of our circumstances, with the joy that God gives us. Pastor Anita speaks to us from Zephaniah 3:14-18a to show us that we have joy that transcends our circumstances.
This worship service is just over 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. 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.

DisciplesNet Worship #603: Advent 2 (Webb 12.05.2021)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Through the words of the prophet Malachi, God's people hear God's intention to send refine them "as silver and gold are refined". Silver and gold are refined in a super-heated fire that melts them and allows impurities to rise to the surface where they can be removed. This does not sound like a pleasant process, yet Rev. Charles Webb Jr speaks to us from Malachi 2:17-3:4 and helps us to see that we need not fear that refining fire.
This worship service is just over 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.
