On Sunday, morning, August 7, 2011, we will have the deep privilege of sharing in communion together. I encourage you to begin preparing for it now by reading and reflecting on 1 Corinthians 11:17-32. Communion-- when we eat and drink in remembrance of our Lord, and we are reminded that Christ and His cross are at the center and that He is the Gospel. Communion-- when we share in it properly, the gospel of Christ is driven deeply into our souls. Communion-- we remember and rejoice because "the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). Communion-- come to the Lord's Table.
I will be preaching from Acts 16:16-40, "Midnight Worship in a Philippian Jail". This is the passage that records the conversion of the jailer in Philippi who had charge of Paul and Silas. I'm wondering, "What was this man like?" How do you imagine him to be?
Please pray for our gathered worship time on Sunday. I need it and so do you and all who come.
Looking forward to it as always. And will be praying for the start up of the singles class, too!
