Episode 321: Together - The Gospel According to Ted Lasso Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

We wrap up this worship series, The Gospel According to Ted Lasso, today. This Sunday, we look at the theme of "Together." In soccer, maybe more than any other sport, the team on the pitch has to win. They have to play together. Jesus makes sure we are never alone too. In Luke 10, he sends out 72 people in pairs to the cities he will be traveling to and to proclaim, "The Kingdom of God has come near." He doesn't ask them to do it alone, but together. We wrestle with this idea as we wrap up this fun series today. Thank you again for worshipping with us. For more information about our congregation, please visit our website at milfordhillsumc.org.

Show notes

We continue to look at prayers in the Bible and what they can teach us about our personal and corporate prayer lives.
