Getting the Lord's Supper Right
Luke 22:14-23 · September 18, 2022
This message explores how Communion keeps believers centered on the cross—as a remembrance of Jesus’ sacrifice, a sign of the new covenant, and a proclamation of His death until He returns. It also considers the importance of self-examination and taking Communion in a way that reflects our relationship with Christ and one another.
