DisciplesNet Worship #453: Epiphany 6 (Grogan 02.10.2019)

to watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Jesus chose us to be the representatives of God's realm here on earth. What does it mean to accept that call? Pastor Amy teaches from Mark 1:14-20 about the privilege and opportunity of being a part of God's work.
The worship service is 30 minutes long and includes a time of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, preaching as well as 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 #452: Epiphany 5 (Shaw 02.03.2019)

to watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Jesus did not choose the best, the brightest, the obvious leaders when he chose his 12 disciples. Just as then, Jesus chooses unlikely people, like us, to be his messengers and representatives in this world. Pastor Bob uses Luke 5:1-11 and shows us how it is Jesus' choice that makes us right for the job and not what we might imagine the qualifications to be.
The worship service is just over 25 minutes long and includes a time of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, preaching as well as 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.

to watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Sometimes we fail to appreciate others because of their differences. Sometimes we only tolerate others because of their differences. In his message, drawn from 1 Corinthians 12:1-13, Pastor Bob encourages us to love others because of their differences and the unique gifts and perspectives they bring to our lives together.
The worship service is 29 minutes long and includes a time of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, preaching as well as communion.

DisciplesNet Worship #446: Christmas Day (Smith12.25.2018)

to watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

As we celebrate the coming of Christ, the carols we sing often refer to Jesus as "the Prince of Peace." Yet we see in our world that peace is rare and fleeting. What does it mean that Jesus came as Prince of Peace and what kinds of peace does he bring? Pastor Russ uses Isaiah 9:2-7 to talk about the four ways that Jesus makes peace for us.
This Christmas service continues the theme of our Advent worship using the hymn "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel".
The theme for Christmas Day is taken from the seventh verse:
O come, desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease
and be thyself our King of peace
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
The theme is "Jesus is the bringer of peace to the world". Jesus brings us together in one family.
Our worship today is 30 minutes long and includes a time of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, preaching as well as communion. You may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me."

DisciplesNet Worship #444: Advent 4 (Grogan 12.23.2018)

to watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

We Christians celebrate the coming of Jesus once every year, but Jesus also comes to be in our hearts. For that reason, we can celebrate Jesus coming every day of our lives. Pastor Amy speaks from Ephesians 1:15-23 about seeing Christ in us every day, giving us new insights and wisdom.
Our observance of Advent continues in the service. Advent is a time of remembering Jesus' coming to us. We observe Advent each year to remind us that, although Jesus has already come, what will fully come in God's time has not yet arrived. We still must wait and anticipate the fullness of God's rule and realm.
This year, our Advent theme uses the hymn "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel".
Each Sunday and Advent and on Christmas Day, we will have one verse from that hymn as the theme for the day.
The theme for today is taken from the sixth verse:
O come, Thou Wisdom from on high
and order all things, far and nigh
To us the path of knowledge show
and cause us in her ways to go
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
The theme is "Jesus is the giver of wisdom". Jesus brings us knowledge of what is good and right and helps us to follow it.
Our worship today is 25 minutes long and includes a time of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, preaching as well as 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.

DisciplesNet Worship #445: Blue Christmas (Grogan12.24.2018)

to watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

There are many times in our lives that we struggle to believe that we belong. Jesus himself lived his life as an outsider and recognizing and welcoming those who were often left out and forgotten was a large part of his ministry. Pastor Amy speaks about those aspects of Jesus' life and shows us that, no matter how we feel and no matter who may have rejected us, God is still welcoming us.
The special Blue Christmas worship is 34 minutes long and includes a time of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, preaching as well as communion. You may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me."

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. Even the smallest of gifts, like the mustard seed, has a way of growing in amazing ways to share God's word and the love of Jesus Christ. We have a giving page on our website, disciplesnet.org, and email address: giving@disciplesnet.org

God bless you, and thank you for joining us!
