I'm thinking about our upcoming communion service Sept 6.  How often we take these poignant moments for granted.  It is so easy to approach this sacred time as mere rote.  I'm reflecting on what can be done in a service to make this time meaningful and rewarding for the participants. 

SOMETHING TO PONDER
Communion is supported by 3 legs: past - present and future.   As we share in communion we look back to the incredible sacrifice Christ paid for each of us.  We think about our life now.   In our teaching, Sept 6,  I will focus on the "now" aspect of communion.  I believe the "now" aspect is the call to WALK WORTHY OF THE LORD.  (See 1 Thess 2:12)  Then there is a future component.  We are to observe communion until Jesus returns. 

Christ said something interesting in Matthew 26.  Here is a quote.  You've read this many times.  Do you know what Jesus is talking about?  Think about it and post your response.

Blessings,
Pastor Rob

MATTHEW 26:29

• I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom."

Why would Jesus say this?
