True Communion

Contributed by Greg Allen on Apr 16, 2006

I honestly don’t know if Jesus is glorified through crackers and grape juice. And I wonder what he must think when we come together, go through our little religious ritual and leave with the same me-first mentality that we came in with.

Today I want to look at the different viewpoints of the last supper from the 4 gospels. Traditionally only 3 of the gospels are credited with recognizing the last supper, Matthew, Mark and Luke. Let’s look at those: Matthew 26:20-30 20When it was evening, Jesus sat down at the table with the ...read more

A brief outline of a sermon given before taking the Lord’s Supper. The core of the supper is remembering our Savior, all of us need to revisit the cross and examine our lives and hearts.

It is vitally important that the things we do as a church never become empty ritual.

When praying for God’s will and kingdom to come, we are actually asking God to use us. We submit to his authority.
