Lord's Supper Sunday (carter)

Lord’s Supper - Come to the table.

1. Bring it all to the table

Luke 21:1-4 “Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.””

Luke 21:18-30 Rich Young Ruler

What must I do to inherit eternal life.

Jesus - “ You know the commandment”

RYR - “ I have keep them all “

Jesus - “ One thing you lack - sell all you own give to the poor and you will have treasures in heaven, come and follow me “

RYR - left sad.

Jesus - leave it all for God. Follow Him .

2. Come Humbly to the table.

Luke 18:9-14 “He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.””

Nothing you have will be impressive at the Lord’s table but Christ.

Matthew 5:23-24 “So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.”

1 Corinthians 11:27-29 “Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.”

Christens

examine your heart -

Do I accept that the Word of God was made flesh, dwelt among us, and suffered in human form?

Do I believe that the shed blood of Jesus was to remove the stain of sin and make an atonement to God?

Do I have unconfessed sin in my life that I need to repent of

Do you holding anger or hatred towards another brother or Sister.

1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

2. Children - that don’t understand yet.

Luke 18:16 “But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.”

Kids - when you are older and have given your life to Jesus we will celebrate with you when you get to take the Lord’s Supper, but for now watch and if you have questions about it. After church on the way to lunch ask you mom, dad, or who brought you.

Parents - If your child has not made a decision please do not let them take the Lord’s Supper, but use it as an opportunity to talk about what it mean to be a christen with them.

3. The Lost in the Room.

You have never surrendered your life to christ.

Maybe you have and have never told anyone.
