Gather At The Table

Pastor Kevin Rutledge - 9/1/2024 10:00 AM

This week, we delve into the profound significance of communion in our spiritual lives. We're reminded of John Wesley's fervent belief in frequent communion, viewing it as an act of obedience to Christ's command and a means of grace. The Last Supper serves as our central biblical reference, where Jesus instructed His disciples to 'do this in remembrance of me.' Through communion, we not only remember Christ's sacrifice but also experience His presence in a tangible way. It's a beautiful mystery that connects us to the past, grounds us in the present, and gives us a foretaste of the heavenly banquet to come. As we partake in this sacred meal, we're challenged to reflect on who might be missing from our table and how we can extend Christ's invitation to all, regardless of their perceived worthiness. Let's embrace this opportunity to deepen our relationship with God and each other, allowing the transformative power of communion to shape our daily lives beyond the church walls.
