Communion

This sermon focuses on the profound meaning of Communion and why it remains a vital practice for believers today. Nathalie Graham emphasizes that Communion is more than a tradition; it is a sacred act of remembrance, unity, and renewal in our walk with Christ.

Key Themes:

1. Remembrance of Christ’s Sacrifice
   • Jesus instituted Communion during the Last Supper (Luke 22:14-20) as a way for believers to remember His sacrifice.
   • His death on the cross restored our access to God, removing the need for animal sacrifices.
2. Communion with Christ
   • When we partake in Communion, we are spiritually nourished, receiving the benefits of His sacrifice—grace, mercy, healing, forgiveness, and deliverance.
   • It is a time of self-examination (1 Corinthians 11:27-29) and an opportunity to realign our hearts with God.
3. A Badge of Christian Faith
   • Communion is a public declaration of faith and commitment to Christ.
   • It serves as a reminder to walk in holiness and seek a deeper relationship with God.
4. Unity in the Body of Christ
   • Just as Jesus gathered His disciples for the Last Supper, Communion unites believers worldwide.
   • In an international church setting, it becomes a beautiful expression of shared faith and fellowship.
5. A Call to Reflection and Gratitude
   • Communion is not just about remembering Christ’s death but also celebrating His resurrection and victory.
   • Philippians 4:8 reminds us to focus on what is true, noble, and praiseworthy.

Final Challenge: Are you fitting God into your life, or are you shaping your life around God? Communion is an invitation to refocus, reflect, and renew our commitment to Christ.

Key Scriptures: Luke 22:14-20 | 1 Corinthians 11:27-29 | Philippians 4:8 | Psalm 51:10-12
