You might wonder why we celebrate the Lord's Supper each week. Indeed, it doesn't seem like much of a "supper" at all. What is the point of eating a miniature square of bread and drinking from a tiny cup anyway? We'll see in this Sunday's passage why, surrounded by betrayal and abandonment, this solemn celebration is essential to our faith.
This month we're in a short sermon series exploring the rhythms of the early church: “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” As we embark on the new year, let’s plan to prioritize and grow in these means of God’s grace together.
This week: One of the most striking activities of the early church was the priority of the Lord’s Supper (“the breaking of bread”) in their gatherings. It’s placed alongside Scripture, fellowship, and prayer as the lifeblood of the first Christians. Why was this so significant for them, and for us today? This week is all about the Lord’s Supper—what it is, why Christians do it, and how we should practice it. Plus, we’ll celebrate it together!
