Worship is…

 

Gathering with others, praising and enjoying our relationship with God.

Worship is also a time to remember and to consider God’s blessings in our life and to feel God’s presence in a real way.  It is a time to praise God for what we have freely received from Jesus Christ, alongside of others who are on this journey of life with us.

It is something we do each week at 9:00 am on Sundays.

Laity Sunday – Chuck Knows Church

 

Laity Sunday in the United Methodist Church focuses on the celebration of the ministry

of all lay Christians.

 

But there’s so much more to know and Chuck is eager to tell you in this entertaining video.

Here are our recent worship videos

This morning is Laity Sunday in the United Methodist Church.  Today we celebrate the ministry of all Christians and all that you do! 

 

We also take the advice that the Apostle Paul writes to Timothy, the young preacher, to heart in our own lives. 

This is our worship service for Sunday, October 12, 2025.

 

This morning we continue looking at the Apostle Paul’s Second Letter to Timothy – a young preacher in the early church who is dealing with people who are ungodly and causing conflicts.  Paul tells Timothy to focus on what is the foundation of our faith, Jesus, and not engage in battles over words that are not helpful and only serve to destroy.

 

How about us? We can live in a spirit of unity, or in a spirit of divisiveness. 

It’s our choice. 

 

This is our worship service for Sunday, October 5, 2025.

 

This morning we look at the Apostle Paul’s Second Letter to Timothy – a young preacher in the early church.  Paul tells Timothy that he is not ashamed of Jesus and his message, and Paul encourages Timothy to not be ashamed either.

 

How about us? Are you and I bold for Christ?

This is our worship service for Sunday, September 28, 2025.

 

This morning Jesus tells us a parable about a rich man and a poor beggar, who Jesus named Lazarus.  After they both died, one went to Abraham’s side to be comforted, and the other found himself in agony and torment.  And there was a great, impassable crevasse between them.

 

And today we ask, on what side of the great crevasse will you be found?

This is our worship service for Sunday, September 21, 2025.

 

This morning Jesus tells us that a manager who was dishonest was commended by his employer.  What’s that all about?

 

And Jesus uses this parable to tell us how we are to store up for our own heavenly retirement.

This is our worship service for Sunday, September 14, 2025.

 

This morning Jesus tells us that there great joy in heaven when even one person who is lost changes their heart and life and is saved.

 

What does this good news mean for us when we live in a world that seems broken – and there are people who seem to be doing their best to make it worse?

This is our worship service for Sunday, September 7, 2025.

 

This morning Jesus tells us that there is a cost when we follow him, a cost of discipleship.  Just like someone building a tower or a king going to war, we must consider the cost.

 

And we have to decide for ourselves if following Jesus is worth it.  And what the cost is if we don’t commit to following Christ.

This is our worship service for Sunday, August 31, 2025.

 

This morning Jesus tells a parable about where we should sit when we are invited to dinner.  And then Jesus tells those listening who they should invite to their dinners.

 

The question for us is this – who do we need to be inviting – to the Lord’s Table and to worship?

This is our worship service for Sunday, August 24, 2025.

 

This morning we hear the story of Jesus, who heals a woman who has been afflicted for 18 years, which is a good thing.  But this healing was criticized because it took place on the Sabbath.

 

So, we ask, are there things and ministry we need to do that cannot wait until another day?

 

We also celebrate the baptism today of Charlotte Rose Lowry!

This is our worship service for Sunday, August 17, 2025.

 

This morning Jesus, who we usually think of loving and tender, tells us that he has come to cast fire upon the earth and to bring division rather than peace.

 

So, what do we do with this pronouncement by Jesus?  How will it affect our lives?

This is our worship service for Sunday, August 10, 2025.

 

This morning Jesus tells us that we need to be ready for when the Son of Man comes – when Jesus comes again in final victory.

 

So, what do we have to do to be ready for this day of celebration?

This morning we hear a discussion that Jesus has with a man who wants a bigger share of his inheritance.  

 

And in response, Jesus warns us to be on guard and not be greedy.  Instead, we are to be rich toward God.

This morning we hear that the disciples notice that when Jesus prays, he prays in an extra special way.  So they ask him to teach them how to pray.  

 

And we find out that to pray like Jesus is not as complicated as we might have thought.

This morning we hear the familiar story of Mary and Martha, in which Martha asks Jesus to tell Mary to help with the preparations for dinner. 

 

As we consider the contrast of contemplation with Jesus and working and serving Jesus, we contemplate if one is more necessary than the other.

This is our worship service for Sunday, July 13, 2025.

 

This morning we hear the familiar story of the Good Samaritan.  We consider why this Samaritan, considered a foreigner, would help a man who was not part of his ethnic community. 

 

And we are challenged to consider what keeps us from helping others who need our love and acceptance.

This is our worship service for Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025.

 

Today we rejoice in the wonderful world-changing news of the Resurrection of Jesus!

This is our worship service for Sunday, April 13, 2025.

 

Today we hear the story of Jesus entering Jerusalem in triumph among those who are waving palm branches –

 

And we rejoice in the arrival of the Messiah who came to save us.
