The Wedding Model Of Communion

Contributed by Dale London on Jun 1, 2022

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus keeps returning to the model of marriage to describe our relationship with God. We often miss is the significance of our covenant of betrothal to Christ as solemnised in the Lord's Supper.

Many of you will have noted how I keep coming back to the subject of covenant when we come together for communion; that when we share the cup – even figuratively – we are reaffirming an agreement we have with God. The agreement is that we accept the gift of Christ’s death on the cross as atonement ...read more

Ancient Paths Are Ripped Up And Crooked Ways Prevail Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 13, 2024

The Perfect Mate Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 10, 2002

More important than finding the "perfect mate" is "being the perfect mate."
