DisciplesNet Worship #377 “Disputable Things” (Smith 09.17.2017)
To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.
Paul, writing to the Romans, describes how life within the Church should be. As a sign of our love for each other, we should accept and welcome the fact that all of us have different ways of working out our walk of faith. Paul warns us about being arguing amongst ourselves about things that really are a matter of choice.
We hope that you will join us in our worship, just over 26 minutes of prayer, scripture, song, and inspiring message from Pastor Russ, from Romans 14:1-5.
And 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." We believe that Christ extends the invitation to all, and that we come not because we are wholly righteous, but that we are redeemed.
If you would like to share with us at the table we ask that you prepare a piece of a type of bread for you, 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.
