Communion:
Next week Sunday, during our Morning Worship Service, we will celebrate
the Sacrament of The Lord’s Supper. We
are called to examine ourselves before we partake (I Corinthians
11:27&28). Do you really acknowledge
the depth of your sins, look to the sinlessness of
Christ and His sacrifice alone for your peace with God, and finally seek to
love God and live a life of love toward your neighbors? Use the half-sheet included with your
bulletin this week to help you answer these questions. The Elders welcome to the table all such
members who have professed their faith in their Lord Jesus Christ publicly
before the church. In addition, if you
will be visiting you are welcome to participate if you successfully answer the
above questions and are a member in good standing of a Christian church, having
publicly professed Jesus Christ as your Lord there. The Supper is an encouragement for our faith,
hope, and love, and a foretaste of our Lord’s return to feast with us in the
kingdom come.
Preparing
for The Lord's Supper
(2-7-2010)
Next Sunday our congregation will be
celebrating The Lord's Supper. There are
three questions that are important to answer as we ask the question:
Am I ready to take the Lord's Supper in
faith?
1. Do I
recognize the reality and depth of my sin?
2. Have I confessed my sin and do I trust Jesus
as the
only one who can
save me from it?
3. Am I eager to
obey Jesus and let him be my Lord?
Below are some
Scriptures for you to reflect on personally or as a family that may help you
get ready to celebrate communion. These
verses have been called the “
Romans 3:23
Romans 6:23
Romans 5:8
Romans 10:9,13
Romans 5:1; 8:1,38-39
Romans 12:1-2
Questions to ask:
What strikes you about the passage?
What don't you understand about the
passage?
What is the main lesson?
What did you learn about God?
How will you apply this lesson to your
life?
