SPIRITUAL PREPARATION
Sunday Feb 7th @ 4PM!
Have the physical elements – but more than that… prepare spiritually—which includes heart-searching, repentance, confession, reconciliation, and unity of faith. (Ephesians 4:3, 4)—this is required before we can participate in the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper (1 Cor 11:18-20; 27-29).
This does not mean that we earn our salvation through this practice but rather because we have been saved – we get to enjoy fellowship dinner with Jesus in this meaningful and deep way. By partaking of the bread and wine, we show our repentance of sin and acceptance of Christ as our personal Saviour. The communion supper commemorates the suffering and death of Jesus and strengthens the church as a body, preserving her in meekness, love, and unity.
