DisciplesNet Worship #271, “Rich Enough” (Shaw 10.11.2015)
To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.
Our worship today looks at one of the toughest scriptures in the Bible--Jesus' words to the man with many possessions who came to Jesus seeking eternal life. Rev. Bob Shaw speaks from the Gospel of Mark 10:17-31 in bringing us this message of how things in life can become our possessors rather than our possessions.
Our worship is 30 minutes long, designed for you to join as works for you, in worship, song, prayer, our message, and communion. We hope that you'll be blessed by worshiping with DisciplesNet, finding ways your own faith in God can grow in theses trying times.
As we do every week, our time together includes a time of communion (breaking of the bread) where 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 all 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 are given to 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. (Scroll down for an Order of Worship)
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.
