Lord’s Supper for Jail Ministry

Thanks for letting me come today.

For Christians, there are two important ceremonies.

Baptism and The Lords Supper.

Both represent the thing that we hold most dear,

Jesus Christ dying for our sins.

Do gospel presentation:

God, Man, Sin, Jesus, Response

Want to read today from a passage in Corinthians

Two parts

A. our hearts

1 Corinthians 11:27–29 ESV

27 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. 28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

B. our actions

1 Corinthians 11:23–26 ESV

23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

Take the elements.

(May not use)

In the gospel stories, we see that they sang a hymn after the lords supper.
