Podcasts about supper communion

The Lord's Supper (Communion) is important but just how important? In this lesson we do some teaching on this most sacred duty of ours. As you follow along with your Bible, you will gain a lot of insight into this topic. Prayerfully listen and keep your Bible open because it may just challenge some or much of what you thought you knew! Our base text will be 1 Corinthians 11:23-30.

Fighting the Good Fight of Faith

In the sixth installment of our series "Around the Table," Pastor Lisa Ashton teaches from Luke's account of the Lord's Supper in Luke 22:7-38. She walks us through some of what it may have been like in that upper room and how, as He often does, Jesus did things in a way the disciples were not expecting. We learned about the parallels between the Passover meal and the Lord's Supper (Communion, Eucharist). And then we tried to honor His words to "Do THIS in remembrance of Me" with a communion experience.

Title: The Lord's Supper: Communion With ChristPreacher: Robert RosaSeries:  What is a church?Passage: Matthew 26:26-29

Gary responds to certain Christians concerned with Donald Trump's VP pick, JD Vance. Despite many reasons that make him a good VP candidate, many are pointing to his Catholicism as concerning because he "worships an idol of bread," referring to the Roman Catholic view of the Lord's Supper (Communion). Gary points out that politics, and especially the current state, always involves picking the better candidate, rather than the best one.

Embracing the Lord's Supper as a Joyful and Communal Event Luke 15.23 “Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate.” This is why we come here—to celebrate! Part of that celebration is what we call ‘the Lord's Supper'. Another part is prayer - what can we celebrate in prayer this morning? Let's pray together... Part 2: Let's have a feast and celebrate Hand out capsules at start Introduction Today, we will focus more deeply on the Lord's Supper / Communion. We will take more time over it after some teaching and discussion. QUESTION: What is the Lord's Supper? QUESTION: Why do we do it? What is it for? 1. What Did Jesus Do and Expect His Followers to Do, and Why? Luke 22.19-20 “And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.” ‘do this' - what is the ‘this'? Why - in remembrance of me What remembering? His servant, sacrificial heart. His acceptance. His love. Leads to - fresh inspiration out of gratitude 2. What Did the Early Church Do and Why? They gathered on the first day of the week to break bread Acts 2.46 “Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,”- Acts 20.7 “On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.”. . Proclaimed Christ 1 Corinthians 11.26 “For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.” Demonstrated and strengthened their unity 1 Corinthians 11.27 “So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.” Context - eating together as Lord's Supper while being selfish and mean to one another About not respecting Christ's body by treating one another in a Christ-like way Easy to have a smouldering resentment towards someone at church when taking communion while looking at the back of their head, or in a large church where you can easily avoid them Different when sitting around a table next to them or opposite them. Resurrection day Probably weekly Involved a meal Not restricted to that? 3. Traditions Around the Lord's Supper Traditions and further theological understanding Transubstantiation, the idea that the bread and wine become the actual body and blood of Christ, based on one scripture. Preserving mysticism developed into a kind of magical-ism Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli, had different interpretations. One cup or many? One prayer or several? Silence, music, prayer.... Wine or not? Who can serve it? Priests? New Testament tells us that we are all priests 1 Peter 2.9 “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.” Who can take it? Sometimes, children or laypeople were denied the elements, but is that what Jesus intended? 4. Conclusions for Us Here and Now Five key issues It is about Jesus: Remembering Him is the primary purpose. It is a community meal: We gather together as a family of faith. We feast on Christ—together: It strengthens our community unity. ‘Unworthy' is not about sin per se: It's about treating each other with Christ-like love. Strictly speaking, no one is 'worthy'! Not about the elements or the rituals: Focus on Jesus and community. Conclusion We eat together, with Jesus, as sinners Luke 5.29 “Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them.” Luke 14.13 “But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,” Jesus ate with anyone who would eat with him. He would come to your place for dinner - only problem- he would bring all his friends! Last supper: Apostles would desert him, Peter deny him; Judas betrayed him Any questions or brief comments? Discussion with neighbour about anything God revealed to you today Open prayer I pray after 10 minutes Break bread and give out - what difference does it make that I do this? As we conclude, let's take time to pray, reflect, and sing. Let's prepare our hearts before we take the bread and wine, remembering the love and sacrifice of Jesus and the unity we share in Him.

Join us as we study what Jesus taught and what the Bible says about The Lord's Supper and Communion, and some of the beliefs from different denominations. We will also discuss the importance of preparing to participate in The Lord's Supper.

An explanation of the the Lord's Supper (Communion) as an ordinance of the church and its importance to the Christian. Also instructions on how to be prepared in your heart.

One of the hardest places to be angry with a person is at the supper table. It's nearly impossible to share a meal with someone with whom you are at odds with. Either you won't enjoy the food you are eating or you will be forced to leave the table and eat somewhere else. The flip side of this is when you are in a healthy relationship with another, sharing a meal is the best place to be; the conversation flows freely, the laughter is effortless and even the food tastes better! Here's the truth: To share a meal with someone you are at odds with requires reconciliation. For the Christian, we often describe our connection with God as a relationship. When we pledge our allegiance to God through baptism, we enter into a covenant relationship. There are moments when the relationship is amazing and transformative. Unfortunately there are times when the relationship is at odds and not because of God, but because of mine and your rebellious nature. Here's the problem, when we are at odds with God what are we to do? The guilt can be overwhelming, the shame paralyzing and the embarrassment distancing. We wonder if God will take us back? We blame ourselves for repeating the same offense again and again. We become convinced that this time, God's patience with us has finally run out. Here's what you need to know: Jesus knew this would happen. He knew that we would break our covenant relationship with him, and that we would need a way to reconcile the relationship. Ironically, he invites us to a meal table, a spiritual meal table designed specifically to bring about restoration and reconciliation. We call that meal, The Lord's Supper. "While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it. “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them. “Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” ~ Mark 14:22-25 Unfortunately, for many Christians, The Lord's Supper (Communion) has simply become a memorial service, much like how we celebrate Memorial Day or Independence Day. The reality is that Jesus instituted this meal to be so much more then remembering. It's about participating in the work of the cross, it's about confessing our sin, and allowing Jesus to restore our relationship. Simply put, The Lord's Supper is multifaceted in what it does in our lives and in our church family.  To learn more about how The Lord's Supper is so transformative in our lives as disciples of Jesus, make sure and listen to part ten of Come, Follow, Me...where you will be invited to have a seat at the table. Maybe it's been a while for you. Maybe you're feeling disconnected from God. The best place to start is to accept Jesus' invitation and take a seat at the table.

Let's LOOK: L - John 6:32-40 & 47-51 O - Bread - back then it was more nourishing. Think of the artisan and whole grain breads today. Interesting to note that many cultures have a bread type food as a main staple of their culture: bread, tortillas, pasta, fry bread… It is needed for life. He gave his life for us. Acts 2:38 tells us: 38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. We remember each Sunday by eating the Lord's Supper - Communion. Throughout the OT we see God giving the people celebrations to help them remember. The same is true for the Lord's Supper. We need help remembering.  O - Prayer…. K - Spend time with Jesus today. Don't let Satan trick you into thinking you're too busy to spend time with Jesus. You're too busy NOT to spend time with him.

Pastor Josh Cardwell

Jesus is the sacrificial Lamb of God who came to redeem us from the bondage of sin and establish a new covenant with us based on His grace. Through this passage we'll seek to understand why we celebrate the Lord's Supper (Communion) as a church. We'll examine the depth and power of the gospel that has redeemed us, is redeeming us, and will one day redeem us.

Time:EveningMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Luke 221 Corinthians 10:16–171 Corinthians 11Heidelberg Catechism: Lord's Day 28Series:Covenant Theology

As Christians, we need a firm foundation of what we believe and why.  We need to always "be ready always to answer anyone who asks us to explain the hope we have in us."  (1 Peter 3:15)

As an introduction to the observance of The Lord's Supper (Communion), Pastor Josh Hall shares instructions from the Apostle Paul's letter to the Corinthians. As we observe this ordinance of the church, we... 1. REMEMBER - vv. 23 - 26 "Do this in remembrance of me." (24, 26) 2. REFLECT - vv. 27 - 30 1. On One's Self (2 Corinthians 13:5; Philippians 2:12) 2. On the Church (29) 3. PROCLAIM - v. 26 "...proclaim the Lord's death..." 4. ANTICIPATE - v. 26 "...until He comes."

Drawing inspiration from the Corinthian church, this sermon highlights the importance of remembering Jesus' sacrifice, unity within the church, and selfless service. By examining the Corinthians' forgetfulness and division, we are reminded to prioritize communion with reverence and gratitude, breaking down barriers and embracing the calling to love and serve like Jesus. Through a deeper understanding of the significance of communion, we are urged to reject selfishness and strive for unity, ensuring that we do not forget our purpose as followers of Christ.

The origin and basis of Holy Communion is the Passover Meal, for in it we remember Christ our Passover Lamb, who was sacrificed for us. He fulfilled the prophetic picture of Passover, for by His Blood He released us from slavery to sin and from the dominion of the kingdom of darkness, and sets us free to live a new life with Him. Derek describes the original Passover in Exodus 12. The Passover Lamb provided 2 things: (1) the BLOOD, when applied, provided forgiveness for sin and protection from judgment, and (2) the FLESH, when eaten, provided physical healing for their bodies (Psalm 105:37). The type of Passover was fulfilled by Jesus who died as our Passover Lamb (1Cor 5:7). (1) He gave His BLOOD for us, to establish a New Covenant with God, providing forgiveness from sin and deliverance from Divine Judgment, and (2) He gave His FLESH to us, providing strength, health and life. In Communion, the WINE and the BREAD represents His BLOOD and His BODY (flesh) given for us. As there was healing in the Passover, so there is healing in Communion, which is the New Testament equivalent to the Passover Meal, for Jesus instituted Communion at a Passover Meal. At the Last Supper, Christ instituted the Lord's Supper (Communion) as the Memorial Feast of the New Covenant in His Blood by saying: “DO THIS in REMEMBRANCE of Me” (Luke 22:19, 1Cor 11:23-26). He transformed the Passover Meal into its New Covenant fulfilment, showing how all its details were prophetic pictures of how He would fulfil the Passover through His death and resurrection. Pastor Derek describes and demonstrates the detailed Order of Service for the Passover Meal, and relates it to Jesus' words and actions at the Last Supper. In particular he shows how the Afikomen provides a wonderful picture of the Gospel. The AFIKOMEN (representing the Son of God) is brought forth from the MATZA TOSH (the Godhead). Only the MIDDLE PIECE of the 3 pieces of bread (the Trinity) comes into manifestation (the AFIKOMEN), which represents CHRIST, the SON, coming forth out of God and revealed in human form, while the Father and Spirit remained invisible. The AFIKOMEN is a picture of Jesus: (1) UNLEAVENED BREAD (He is the SINLESS bread of life), (2) STRIPED, and (3) PIERCED. The AFIKOMEN was (1) BROKEN, signifying Jesus broken for us on the Cross – His DEATH (Luke 22:19a), and then it was (2) WRAPPED in a cloth, and hidden from sight (signifying His BURIAL). Later, the AFIKOMEN was brought forth from its hiding (burial) place. This symbolised Jesus appearing again, having been resurrected on the third day. Luke 22:19: “Jesus took BREAD (the AFIKOMEN = the resurrected Christ), gave THANKS, BLESSED it and BROKE it, and GAVE it to the disciples and said: “TAKE, EAT; this (AFIKOMEN) is My BODY, which is GIVEN for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” The Afikomen is eaten after its death, burial and resurrection, so in Communion the bread that we eat represents the risen Christ, who was blessed with every blessing on our behalf. Thus we partake of His blessed resurrection life. The Communion Bread is the Afikomen, representing the resurrection life of Christ, given to us. Jesus interpreted the Afikomen as Himself, risen from the dead and giving Himself to us to eat. When Jesus divided up (broke) the bread and gave it to the believers, this represented the resurrected Christ dividing, distributing and giving Himself to us to eat, saying: “I am the BREAD of LIFE” (John 6:35,48). Then came the 3rd CUP of SALVATION: “He took the CUP, after supper saying: “This CUP is the New Covenant in My Blood, which is shed for you...Then He gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying: “Drink from it, all of you. For this is My Blood of the New Covenant which is shed for many for the remission of sins” (Luke 22:20, Matthew 26:27,28). This is the CUP of BLESSING that we drink at Communion (1Cor 10:16,17). Christ has GIVEN HIMSELF to us through His BLOOD and His RESURRECTION LIFE, and now it's up to us to EAT of His LIFE, and DRINK DEEPLY from His CUP of SALVATION and BLESSING.

Sermon Notes Ephesians 3:21 NIV "…to [God] be glory in the church (ekklesia) and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Our Mission: to become more like Jesus. The Global church is made up of every believer of every people group, language, and nation to the ends of the Earth. "We are Christians only, not the only Christians."

They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people." The early gathering of believers stood out for their generosity. Acts‬ ‭2:47b NIV "...and the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." Acts‬ ‭4‬:‭36‬-‭37‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ "Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means 'son of encouragement'), sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet." What would it be like to be such a generous giant that your nickname is son or daughter of encouragement? Here at Kingsway, we desire to leverage our gatherings to their utmost potential in bringing people to Christ, building them up in their faith, and sending them out to make a difference in their world. Through Relentless Pursuit, we will: Invest in outreach to the ends of the earth (10% of the total) Through Relentless Pursuit, we will: Reduce our debt (33% of the total) Ephesians 3:20-21 NIV "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!

By Rev Charlie Lacey  | 1 Corinthians 11: 17-341 Corinthians 11: 17-34 (NIV) Over the last couple of months, we've seen how the first century church in Corinth was divided and wayward. Perversely, that division was most evident when they gathered for the Lord's Supper (Communion). Paul helps them (and us), to understand what Communion is, why it's important and how we should treat it.Rev Charlie's Talk is available to listen to on the Talks section of our website

“The cross was not an isolated event in history that sprang up spontaneously. Rather, the atonement of Christ was the culmination, the climax of centuries of redemptive history. Ages before, God had set certain things in motion that reached their acme with the death of Jesus.” – RC Sproul ATONEMENT & COVENANT Dr. Sproul says; “It is impossible to fully understand the death of Christ apart from an understanding of the whole process of covenant that is worked out in the Old & New Testaments.” Do you agree with him, and why or why not? A covenant is a relationship between the Lord and His servants. In this relationship, the Lord verbally speaks to His servants, defining the covenant relationship. He tells them His name, His laws or stipulations, His blessings & His cursings. There is a verbal giving of the covenant, God tells us to “Obey my Voice” and “keep My covenant” (Exodus 19:5+many others). The covenant is also written: On Stone: - “And He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you to perform, that is, the Ten Commandments, and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.” - Deuteronomy 4:13 In the Bible and on our Heart: – “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” - Jeremiah 31:33 - The Importance of God's Word. This is how God reveals Himself, through the Bible. Without the Bible there would be no covenants, there would be no Gospel, & there would be no salvation. We recognize 2 sacraments; Baptism and the Lord's Supper (Communion). (WCF – 28:1) “Baptism is a sacrament of the New Testament, ordained by Jesus Christ, not only for the solemn admission of the party baptized into the visible Church; but also to be unto him a sign and seal of the covenant of grace, of his ingrafting into Christ, of regeneration, of remission of sins, and of his giving up unto God, through Jesus Christ, to walk in the newness of life. Which sacrament is, by Christ's own appointment, to be continued in His Church until the end of the world.” Jesus made sure to identify with baptism and He made painstaking preparations in preparing PASSOVER. In the upper room, Jesus instituted another New Covenant – Explain how the Old Covenant Passover changes to the New Covenant? COVENANT BLESSINGS & CURSES A covenant has sanctions. Rewards or Penalties. Blessing or Curses. Read Deuteronomy 28:1-6. What is the significance of blessing & cursing to the world today? Explain the parallel between the two. Note the far-ranging extent of the curse of God. It extends over all of life. BLESSED: IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD Most people equate blessing with being happy. You have been preaching the beatitudes, and you gave a excellent explanation of the term blessing. Tell the folks that might be listening; does blessingmean being happy? Dr. Sproul talks about a Hebrew literary device called parallelism. You are a writer, what is parallelism? The curse is the exact opposite of the blessing. For the Jew, to be blessed was to have God draw near. In times of crisis, in times of tumult, and upheaval. It is a frightening time. They found confidence in the assurance the presence of God. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/biblebulldog/message

A new MP3 sermon from Liberty Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Blood Covenant - The Lords Supper - Communion Speaker: Jacob Pollard Broadcaster: Liberty Baptist Church Event: Midweek Service Date: 11/11/2020 Bible: Psalm 42:7; Daniel 2:20-21 Length: 21 min.

How should the Lord's Supper/Communion be taken? Is this merely a meal to be had in church? A fancy ritual to be done in an exact order? When we actually read what Jesus and Paul taught about communion, we see that it isn't a ritual but a proclamation of the good news and an opportunity for the church to love one another in an obvious and powerful way.

This brief message prepares our hearts for observing the Lord's Supper (Communion) at ESBC.

Questions Answered: What is your favorite Bible verse that you live by?  What book has had the greatest impact on your understanding of leadership? I trust God, but I still have this creeping anxiety concerning my family, my job, our town during this time. What are some practical ways we can keep our flesh calm in the storm? Describe your calling to the ministry and why you think you are called? What is your all time favorite worship song? My question is on helping your fellow brethren in this time keep the faith that the Lord will still keep providing? I have people I visit via social media and phone. And regardless of what I say about having faith in the Lord, it's as if what I say is bouncing off them sometimes. I use Daniel as a reference as well. He was in the middle of the Lions and his faith did not waiver. But for some, it's not enough. I trust my God will deliver us from this. As he has from many things. How do I know God is speaking to me?  How often should the Lord’s Supper / Communion be observed?  How do I /can I know God’s will? What is God’s will for our lives?

The sacraments (baptism & communion) are vital to our Christian faith. The Lord's Supper is a time to remember Christ's sacrifice, receive in Christ the satisfaction of our greatest needs, be refreshed in Christ and rejoice that we have been personally invited to eat at the Lord's table. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on September 1, 2019.

The message today teaches us how Jesus' blood speaks redeeming love, forgiveness and God's peace with us.  The blood also gives us a threefold advantage: voice of advocacy, victory of the dominance of sin and vision for the future.

In this lesson we show why we partake of the Lord's Supper and the frequency of partaking. We also examine the significance of the first day of the week and other historical documents outside of the Bible. Slides and audio can be found together at www.cmcoc.org  Sermon by: Brian Birdow 

On the night Jesus was betrayed, shortly before His arrest, trials and execution on the cross, He shares the Passover meal with His disciples. Jews had shared this meal every year for the previous 1500 years, celebrating God’s incredible deliverance from their bondage of slavery under the Egyptians. Yet Jesus flips this meal completely on its head, powerfully demonstrating to His disciples that this meal had always been a foreshadowing of Him. He is the sacrificial Lamb of God who came to redeem us from the bondage of sin and establish a new covenant with us based on His grace. Through this passage we’ll seek to understand why we celebrate the Lord’s Supper (Communion) as a church. We’ll re-examine the depth and power of the gospel that has redeemed us, is redeeming us, and will one day redeem us. This talk is part five of our series 'Mark Pt2' from Sunday 31st March 2019.

Part 9 - The Lord’s Supper An Ordinance properly defined in a Christian context, is a religious ritual i.e. a ceremony or sacred observance. For the Bible believing Christian, there are only two Ordinances which concern us, namely that of the Lord’s Supper (Communion) and Baptism. On the eve of Jesus’ crucifixion, He desired one last time to eat the Passover meal with His disciples. It was at this feast that Jesus instituted what we know and celebrate as the Lord’s Supper; a memorial meal for the purpose of remembering of the events that were to take place on the morrow, namely His crucifixion in which the New Covenant would be established by the shedding of His precious blood. In this teaching part, we explore the meaning of Communion and try to bring clarity surrounding some of the misconceptions held by believers regarding this Holy Ordinance. We particularly focus on the administration of the Lord’s Supper, since it is at this point where many Bible believing Christians part company in their differing customs. Some Churches have Communion every Sunday, others once a month, once a quarter or even once a year! Some choose to major on the specific type of bread and wine that should be used. One Church allows for all in attendance to partake of it (including children) while another forbids anyone from taking it unless they are an active member of their particular Church. We seek in this ninth teaching part to address these issues biblically by bringing them to the light of God’s Word.
