Hello, Christ's Church Family,
Here are the scripture passages I used in the message from yesterday, Communion - Koinonia. My prayer is that as you mediate on them, the Holy Spirit takes you deeper!
1 Corinthians 10:16-17
16 Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf.
NIV
1 Corinthians 11:23-24
23 For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread 24 and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me." NLT
1 Corinthians 11:25-26
25 In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this to remember me as often as you drink it." 26 For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord's death until he comes again.
NLT.
Acts 2:42
42 All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord's Supper), and to prayer.
NLT

26 For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

Hebrews 13:16
16 And don't forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.
NLT
