DisciplesNet Worship #776 Lent 2 – (Cobb 03.16.2025)

When Jesus decided to go to Jerusalem, he knew very much what to expect, so when some of the Pharisees came to him to warn him that Herod wanted to kill him, he not only faced the likelihood, but even told them to tell Herod when to expect him.
This was not bravado. It was a deliberate choice on Jesus' part to confront the powers of his day.
Pastor Anita speaks to us from Luke 13:31-35 and helps us to recognize our own call to follow God into difficult and threatening circumstances.
Join us for 30 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a number of 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.

INVITATION TO GIVING:
DisciplesNet Church is a not-for-profit church that exists to cross barriers and boundaries to share the Good News of God's redeeming love. We rely on the gifts of our online viewers as we continue to grow and extend our nets around the world.
We also extend the invitation for you to be part of the DisciplesNet ministry by giving a one-time gift, or ongoing, including a tithe.
