If you or I were to win one person to Christ, and then each of us won one person to Christ every year, and those folks won one a year, the number of believers would ...read more

    Why do we have "Holy Communion?" This is a sermon in the Reformed tradition that answers that in three ways -- Obedience, Remembrance and Enlightenment (or nurture).

    In a little while we will participate in the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. Holy Communion. The Eucharist. On one level, this meal might seem like a reminder of some of the snacks we’ve had elsewhere -- like the cookie and juice we were given by our first grade teacher and like the bag of ...read more
