Joy Ministries communion notes

Here are my communion notes i talked on at the 12th june Joy Ministries service


Communion Sermon.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26

What is communion ?
communion is also called “The Lord’s Supper” because of the fact that Jesus started it.

Why do we take communion ?
  1. Because Jesus commanded us to, He told us to.
  2. So we can remember what Jesus did for us.
  • Who knows what Jesus did for us ?
  • Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for our sin
  • It is embarrassing when someone knows you by name but you can’t remember his or her name. We need reminders.
  1. c

God, Who created us, knows that we don’t have the greatest memories.
• Throughout the entire Bible we see that God was always setting up memorials for His people.
• Whenever a significant event would happen, the patriarchs would build an altar.
• When the people of Israel crossed the Jordan River they set 12 stones by the river bank to serve as a memorial to that event.
• Whenever their children walked by and saw the stones the parents would tell them about God’s miraculous entrance for them into the Promise Land.

Every time we communion
  • We do it together to help remind each other what Jesus did.
  • Jesus left us with a picture so we would never forget.
