    Many times we end up doing things for the wrong reasons I thought it would be a good time to explain why we take communion every week

Now today, I want us to spend some time reflecting on the second thing that Paul says is God’s will for each of us - v. 17. There are two ways in which this needs to be applied: 1. It must be applied ...read more
