Communion - Together As One

Contributed by Gerald Du Preez on Mar 24, 2023

Tracing the communion service from the Passover through the Last Supper and the Eucharist.

Passover Death was in the air. The young boy stood outside with his father, watching him splash blood onto the doorposts of their humble home. “Why, dad, why?” Comes the plaintive question from the lips of a terrified youngster. “This is to keep you alive, son. Let’s go inside to share our last ...read more

Remembrance

Contributed by Larry Grant on Apr 1, 2023

Of all the ordinances we uphold in the church, the remembrance of Communion should hold the most meaning for us. It should cause us to be humbled by the message behind the service and encouraged by it's revelation.

Communion And St. Patrick's Day Sermon

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Mar 11, 2020

This is a Communion message that I've attempted to tie in with St. Patrick's Day. It is focused on The Lord's Supper, but ties in how the missionary to Ireland was Christ focused, and how we should be as well.

Communion March 2020 / St. Pats Day Text: 1 Corinthians 11:23-30 As you can tell by this table that’s been set here, we are taking communion this morning, but I want, if I’m able, to try and tie it in with St. Patrick’s Day… Because I think that sometimes there can be some confusion about both of ...read more

Pandemics, Politics, And The Judgment Of God

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 7, 2020

It is commonly believed that God 'judges' people today, and He does that by causing good things to happen to people doing good things and causing bad things to happen to people doing bad things.

This belief is nothing new and seen in Job, the oldest book of the Bible. Every use of the word 'judgment' referring specifically to God in the New Testament is regarding salvation and His eternal punishment for those who reject Jesus as Lord and Savior. Receiving Him is the only way to ...read more

A ministry mindset in marriage means serving your spouse.

If you’re married, are you in the crazy cycle right now? Actually, this can be more like a selfishness spiral where unmet needs turn into unbridled nastiness. Many can relate to comedian George Burns who said, “I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.” Rodney Dangerfield, who ...read more

In Memoriam Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 29, 2021

Is the Lord's Supper an act performed by rote, or do we worship the Lord through this act? The Meal is designed to actively bring to mind the sacrifice of our Saviour, bring us to the point of worship.

“I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, ‘This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, ...read more

The Fringe Is To Remember...

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on May 29, 2021

What Is The Lord's Supper?

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021

The Lord’s Supper is so significant that when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin because the first people in history to walk on the Moon, Aldrin celebrated the auspicious occasion by taking the Lord’s Supper.

Jesus never asked His disciples to remember His birth. But He did instruct them to remember His death and resurrection. He gave the church two visible symbols (called “ordinances”) as reminders of His death. These two ordinances are: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. The Lord’s Supper is an object ...read more

Whatever Were You Thinking? Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 4, 2021

If we dishonour Christ by treating the Lord's Table with disdain, we can anticipate His discipline.

“Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord.” [1] “Whatever was he thinking?” That is the question that was no doubt on the minds of many Canadians when they first read of the fall of Colin ...read more

God, Gender, And Pornography Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Pornography is killing our men. The 2016 Republican Party platform calls pornography a “public-health crisis that is destroying the lives of millions.” And even the liberal New York Times ran an article with the headline: “It’s O.K., Liberal Parents, You Can Freak Out About Porn” on July 16, 2016.

Thank you for joining for this important topic: God, Gender, and Pornography. In an interesting twist of God’s rich providence, our teens are looking at this subject with a guest upstairs this evening. The Problem of Pornography is real.

How To Look At The Lord's Supper

Contributed by Scott Nichols on Jan 18, 2019

Paul, in I Corinthians 10:23-34, reminds us that if we would eat and drink this Supper to our benefit, we must be looking in four directions. In communion, we must be looking back, looking ahead, looking within and looking around.

Something special is about to happen this morning. Something miraculous. Paul in chapter 10 of this same letter calls it a "participation in the body and blood of Jesus Christ." We know it as communion. As we take a piece of bread and cup of juice, we will be participating in a mystery. ...read more
