The king lays aside his royal robes and privileges in order to identify with life outside the ...read more

    A Lord’s Supper service that focuses on the relationship of the cup to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb

    One of the things I love most about celebrating the Lord’s Supper together is that it presents so many different aspects of Jesus – past, present, and future. It is certainly appropriate that we use the Lord’s Supper as a reminder of what Jesus did for us when he died on the cross to pay the ...read more
