True Communion - Evangelizing and Growing Together

By Steve Horne

When you and I partake the Lord’s Supper we are:


  • Revisiting by remembering the work of Christ on the Cross - “in remembrance of me”

  • Partaking of a evangelistic meal - “ye do proclaim the Lord's death till He comes”

  • Partaking a meal by which we practice personal church discipline - “let a man examine himself”.... and so let him eat”

  • Partaking a meal of communion whereby we are practicing progressive sanctification thru self judgment in order to “so let him eat” after personal examination.

  • Partaking of a communion meal whereby we fellowship with each other - tarrying "for one another”

  • PArtaking a meal of potential condemnation. A meal of condemnation to those that partake of the meal unworthily for they “drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord”.
