DisciplesNet Worship #340 Love-Poetry in Motion (Case 01 22 17)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

To say that "God is Love" is to say that loving relationships are at the core of God's being. Rev. Patti Case looks at Psalm 27 as a means of understanding this vital aspect of who God is and who God wants us to be.

Our worship this week is 31 minutes long, with sing-along hymns, prayers, and a special guest preacher, Rev. Patti Case, bringing the word.
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 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.

DisciplesNet Worship #338, “First Sunday after Epiphany” (Smith 01.08.2017)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

In the Sunday following Epiphany, we look at Jesus use of power. God doesn't act in our world through irresistible force, but through gentle persuasive action. Jesus, as God's great example for us, acts as an agent of change, but never through force and especially never through violence. Pastor Russ leads us to God's call for us to use gentle power and so to be Christ's presence in our world in our times and places. Continue reading →

DisciplesNet Worship #316, “Called Christians” (Smith 08.14.2016)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

“Upon this rock, I will build the church, and the gates of hell will not prevail upon it,” Jesus told Peter. Fast forward a couple thousand years later and billions of people across the world are now part of this church. And this church has, and continues to see some of the best and worst that people have to offer. But what does it mean to wear the name Christian? To be called to follow Christ—to be “called Christians”? How can we do better, more like Christ is calling us today? Continue reading →

DisciplesNet Worship #308, “Be Reconciled” (Huber 06.19.2016)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

The Corinthians were having a tough go of getting along with each other. Know anyone like that? When anger, pride, hurt feelings, resentment, sin get between members of a church—one needs the Apostle Paul’s teachings to remind us that we can be reconciled by putting something else between us. That’s our theme today, using the scripture in 2 Corinthians 5:11-21. Minister Daren Huber will be bringing our message. Continue reading →

DisciplesNet Worship #263, “The Gift is You”(Smith 08.16.2015)

Two eyes, two ears. Dandelions and fish. You! Each has a part to play in the world, each an important role. Our worship today looks at gifts in this world and how they all work together, even in unexpected ways. Rev. Russ Smith brings our message, continuing a look at the Letter to the Ephesians, and it's special insights on life together as people of God. Continue reading →

DisciplesNet Worship #225, “The Word in the World” Advent 4 (Dn. Phelps, 12.21.2014)

To watch this worship service in YouTube, click here.

How could Mary know as she was told she would have a son Jesus, what all that would mean? In her day and to the world? We are still pondering that question as we observe the Fourth Sunday in Advent. We are blessed to have guest minister, Rev. Dean Phelps bring our message today about God's Word in the World, and how our choices, no matter how insignificant they seem, truly matter.

DisciplesNet Worship #215, “Be of One Mind” (Shaw 10.12.2014)

DisciplesNet

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Suppose the Apostle Paul could write a letter to our churches today...What might it say? Pastor Bob Shaw looks at this question today, preaching from Philippians 4:1-9. The names might be different, but so much applies to each of us as we work together today, despite our great differences (which if we are not careful, will divide us and the church).… Read the rest “DisciplesNet Worship #215, “Be of One Mind” (Shaw 10.12.2014)”
