Grace Family Fellowship
Today, we begin a year of Celebrating the Lord's supper and we will begin to look at what it means for us today as believers.
Luke 22:14-20 NLT
I. An Eager Moment
Why was Jesus eager about sharing this meal with His disciples?
A. Yet "Bitter Sweet"
What was "exchanged" in the meaning of the "Passover Meal" after this encounter?
B. The Kingdom Being Fulfilled!
All that God has provided through His Son Jesus, is still yet to be fully realized, but this supper reminds us to wait and expect.
1 Corinthians 15:49-58 NLT
II. Unworthy
A. We are all unworthy to receive from this table:
Why are we all unworthy?
1 Corinthians 11:23-25, 27-29 NLT
B. Discerning the Body.
There is a right way and a wrong way to approach this meal.
1 Corinthians 11:20-22
C. The Power of the Body
What is: "To Discern the Body"? And the power behind that?
- So let us Examine ourselves.
1. Do we appreciate Christ's eagerness to share this meal? & why?
2. Do we understand that we are all unworthy except by and through the way made by Jesus' Sacrifice?
3. Do we Discern the doorway to wellness and wholeness that are afforded to the BELIEVER who comes to this table with Faith in Christ's ability to heal? Isaiah 53:5 (God’s Word Translation)
Isaiah 53:5 GW
1 Corinthians 11:23-26 NLT
III. Receive Communion
A. He took the bread and He took the cub...
B. He took - break - Gave thanks...
C. Fulfilled at Calvary - Yet some promises to be fulfilled when we see Jesus face to face.
Hebrews 10:5 NLT
