Communion has been part of the church’s experience since shortly after Jesus’ meal with the disciples in the Upper Room. Down through the years there have been different ways to celebrate it:
- There have been arguments and debates over its frequency (weekly, monthly, quarterly, twice a year).
- There have been arguments over who can partake.
- There have been arguments over the elements themselves (wine or grape juice for example). During the pandemic I had one person tell me they had crackers and pop as a substitute.
- There have been different names give to it (Lord’s Supper, Last Supper, Holy Communion, or Eucharist).
If you are looking for a doctrinal treatise from me on those arguments you have come to the wrong place. My focus in this Sunday’s sermon is on the meal itself and why we have been told, “Do this in remembrance of Me.” Long story short: me must not forget to remember.
This Sunday starts a two-month series on To and From the Cross. I’m taking this break from my series on Revelation to focus on the season of the Cross and the Resurrection. I plan to resume the Revelation series the first Sunday of May. Please join us in person or via live stream at 9:00 and 10:45.
