1 Corinthians 11:17-34

Communion (the Lord’s Supper), instituted by Jesus, is an ordinary means of grace because it is a regular, God-ordained, tangible practice through which Christ spiritually nourishes, strengthens, and assures His people by the power of the Holy Spirit. By participating, our faith is deepened, we are sustained, and our hope in Christ solidifies as we get a foretaste of glory.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26

Communion can easily become a repeated ritual where the Christian shares a small meal of bread and juice, but doesn’t think much more of it. However, Scripture reveals that there is so much more to the Lord’s Supper! Communion is a very real, physical, participatory reminder of the Gospel and the union God desires us to have with Christ and His church.

1 Corinthians 11:17-34

The Lord’s Supper is one of the most widely practiced but least understood aspects of the Christian faith. Too often, it’s treated as a quick ritual before the bread and cup are passed, rather than the profound means of grace God intends. Throughout church history, believers and skeptics alike have debated its significance, practice, and meaning, and even today, many remain confused.

This morning, we’ll open God’s Word to discover the true beauty of the Lord’s Supper. Why do we do this? Why bread and wine (or juice)? Who should partake and when should we abstain? Most importantly, what gift has God placed in our hands through this sacred meal? Join us as we uncover the depth, joy, and grace found at the Lord’s table.
