Communion Sept. 2019

1 Corinthians 11:23–32 (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,

weak and ill, and some have died. 31 But if we judged

ourselves truly, we would not be judged. 32 But when

we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that

we may not be condemned along with the world.

Hebrews 4:14 (ESV): Since then we have a great high

priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the

Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
