Common Table's October 5, 2025 sermon. Ordinary Time - Exodus 16:1-18 // Bread for the World w/Drew Willson.On this World Communion Sunday, we're mindful of the many gifts and cultures that make up the Body of Christ. In a time of heightened nationalism, border sensitivity, and partisan animosity, we identify with a greater community. Come take your place at the table that breaks down barriers, transforming enemies into neighbors and strangers into friends. We sing together:Blessed are those who, from this table,live their lives in gratitude!Taste and see the grace eternal!Taste and see that God is good!

This Sunday, we celebrated World Communion Sunday remembering that we are part of something so much bigger than ourselves, but also that sometimes, the thing that unites us is a collective crying out to God, "How long, O Lord?"

Habakkuk 1: 1-4 Susan Scott preached on World Communion Sunday and reminded us that regardless of our various religious journeys, national origins, denominations, and worship practices (including the incarcerated who cannot choose their mode of worship), that we are all a part of larger Christian Church family that is striving to follow the teachings of Christ. Susan also reflected on the lamentations of Habakkuk from the lectionary scripture. During these very tense, frustrating and worrisome times we are experiencing, it is easy to reflect negativity and despair back into the world. Lamentations, a form of brutally honest prayer, is one way that we can offload these feelings and transition our frustrations into a posture of waiting to hear from God and also a trust in God's love, goodness, and mercy for us.

This morning, we will celebrate World Communion Sunday, a day when Christians around the globe gather at the Lord's Table. In Luke 24, the disciples' eyes were opened at Emmaus when Jesus blessed and broke bread with them, turning their despair into joy and their confusion into hope. At the Lord's Table, we too encounter Christ's living presence—a presence that binds us together across nations and generations, strengthens us for the journey, and nourishes us for the healing of the world. Sermon on Luke 24:28-35, delivered by the Reverend David J. Powers on October 5th, 2025.

Explore the profound significance of Communion and the transformative journey of the Apostle Paul. Communion, also known as the Lord's Supper, commemorates the Last Supper Jesus shared with His disciples and signifies unity among believers. This practice has evolved over time, with different Christian denominations holding various interpretations, from transubstantiation in the Roman Catholic Church to symbolic remembrance in Protestant traditions. World Communion Sunday emphasizes global Christian unity, reminding us of our shared faith. The Apostle Paul's dramatic transformation from a persecutor of Christians to a devoted apostle highlights the power of faith and redemption. His encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus and subsequent mission to spread the Gospel provide foundational teachings for Christianity. Reflect on how Communion fosters unity and how Paul's story can inspire your faith journey.

"Hope for the World" – Matthew 5:38-48 Part IV of the Sermon Series "Invest in Hope" Sermon by the Rev. Elizabeth N.H. Link from World Communion Sunday, October 6, 2024. "Violence persists in this world, and so what are we, the Body of Christ, to do? "In our passage, Jesus is trying to tell his disciples—Jesus is trying to tell us what to do. We get this piece of wisdom in Matthew 5 about loving our enemies because Jesus cares deeply how we, disciples then and now, practice this thing he calls the 'kingdom of heaven.' This sermon of his is about bending, bending, bending that arc towards justice, all while pointing to a new heaven and a new earth made possible through the hope of Jesus Christ.

In a joint service of The Kingstowne Communion and Franconia UMC on World Communion Sunday, Pastor Michelle and Pastor Melissa are asked questions by youth from churches about the meaning, power, and relevancy of Communion.

Isaiah 11: 1-9 Melissa Florer-Bixler preaches on Isaiah's vision of the lion laying down with the lamb and reminds us, rather appropriately on World Communion Sunday, to consider more deeply in that context how we address the multitude of intractable conflicts occurring throughout the world. Naturally, we cannot rely on willpower alone to overcome the worst "carnivorous" parts of our nature that inflame these conflicts. Rather, it is through the transformative gift of Jesus that we are remade in the image of God and can then work to build real peace. We invite you to listen and join our congregation as we discover how a children's book, Wild Robot, can demonstrate the heart of this transformative process and point us towards practical ideas to implement peace-building.

Through a reading from Colossians, Chapter 4, we explore the profound implications of Paul's message to the church in Colossae.

As we gather at the Lord's table, we are reminded of our shared purpose in Christ and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit within us. Conclude this spiritual journey with a prayer, seeking God's guidance to let Christ govern our lives and inspire our actions, as we become living testimonies of His love and grace in the world.

Communion, also known as the Eucharist or the Lord's Supper, is a central act of Christian worship that commemorates Jesus' sacrifice. Its roots trace back to the Old Testament Passover, which celebrated the Israelites' liberation from Egypt. Jesus redefined this meal during the Last Supper, establishing a new covenant through His body and blood. The early church continued this practice, emphasizing repentance and thanksgiving. Today, World Communion Sunday unites Christians globally, reminding us of our shared faith and the grace of God in Jesus Christ.

Rev. Patrick Hunnicutt preaches on the Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time, which is World Communion Sunday. The Scripture passage is Psalm 24:1-7, 10.

The Hebrew people grow weary of their supposed leader leaving them behind, and - in Moses' absence - they ask for a symbol to represent God? Replace God? Hold them together as a community in a very destabilized time? Unclear, but even as we seek to empathize with a people who long for SOMEthing to keep them together, God and Moses are nonetheless displeased. And set about bickering over whose people they are. In the midst of this squabble, Moses appeals to God's reputation: “What will the Egyptians say about you if you choose destruction?!” Preparing ourselves to participate in another sacred symbol on this World Communion Sunday - bread and cup with all who seek to walk in the Way of Jesus - we wonder how our public actions and presence (or lack thereof) contribute to God's reputation in the world.Sermon begins at minute marker 7:09Exodus 32.1-14 ResourcesBibleWorm podcast: Episode 605 – The Golden Calf, Amy Robertson and Robert Williamson, Jr“End Game,” lyrics by Taylor Swift.Mennonite Action - A movement of Mennonites taking action, explicitly AS MENNONITE-CHRISTIANS, to stop war and end the occupation of Palestine.Song: A Recitation of Psalm 40, in IsiNdebele (a language of Zimbabwe), sung by Bongiwe Ncube.Image: Small statue of the Golden Calf, Louvre museum (Paris, France), Wikimedia Commons.Hymn 717 - Renew Your Church.
