The Body And Blood Of Christ; Corpus Christi; The Lord's Supper

Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 17, 2023

In one and the same act, Judas hands Christ over to be sent to death, and Christ hands himself over in his self-giving in the Eucharist to us.

St. Thomas Aquinas says we often remember unusual things better than familiar things because things with a weird twist make a greater impression on the mind, which is also validated by the modern neuroscience of memory. So, here are some unusual truths about the Eucharist: The customary or valid ...read more

Three things the Apostles did while they were waiting between ascension day and pentecost

“Waiting for Pentecost” 5/20/12 Acts 1:1-14; 2:1-13 I don’t think it was easy to be one of the twelve disciples. We see being around Jesus and taking part in miracles and the sensationalism of being a follower as getting the ‘Easy Button’ in religion. We forget ...read more

What Does It Take To Be A Church? Series

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jul 11, 2004

The early Christians devoted themselves to: 1. The Apostle’s teaching - learning. 2. The Fellowship - worship. 3. Breaking Bread - friendship. 4. Prayer

This description of the early church is truly amazing. Something had happened to these otherwise ordinary people. The people who were a part of this church no longer thought of themselves — their own rights and possessions — their whole identity was a group identity. They found their meaning ...read more
