Communion is a simple yet powerful way to put Jesus at the centre of our Small Group.
When we come together, we bring our everyday lives with us: work, appointments, relationships, joys, worries and all the thoughts on our minds. Communion helps us slow down, refocus on Jesus and remember what he has done for us.
βThis is my body, given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.β
Luke 22:19
We shift our attention away from whatever is occupying our minds and remember what Jesus has done for us.
Luke 22:19β20
Through Jesus, we can live in forgiveness and grace. Communion reminds us: We don't have to earn God's love.
Matthew 26:28
Communion is more than just remembering. We intentionally turn to Jesus and celebrate our connection with him. (We share in what has been accomplished through the Lord's blood and body.)
1 Corinthians 10:16
The one bread reminds us: Through Jesus, we also belong to one another. This strengthens unity, reconciliation and genuine community.
1 Corinthians 10:17
We remember Jesus' death and resurrection while also looking ahead: Jesus is coming again.
