1 Corinthians 11

Seize the Moment – Day 197

The Lord’s Supper

1 Corinthians 11

 

Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Wednesday, September 30.

 

This Sunday is the first Sunday of October and we will be sharing in the Lord’s Supper as a church family. Doors open at 8:45 for Sunday School classes that are returning to their normal schedule of meeting from 9-10. Our Worship Service begins at 10:30 and you will pick up your sanitary communion packets on a table as you walk into the Worship Center. This is one of the many steps we are taking to make returning to church easy and safe for you.

 

If you miss being a part of a Bible study class opportunity, in addition to Sunday morning, we have our Wednesday night ministries in full swing with and adult classes that meet starting at 6 pm, along with AWANA for children and our Death-to-Life Youth Ministry.

 

In all that we do, you are personally welcomed, wanted, and invited. I am praying for you!

 

Paul teaches us about the Lord’s Supper in 1 Corinthians 11:23-34. Listen to the words of institution from verses 23-26,

 

For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

 

Seize the moment and prepare your heart for communion this Sunday. It is God’s grace that qualifies us to partake of the elements. If you have not yet been back to church or you have not participated in communion with your church family in a long while then I encourage you to seize the moment.
