Communion Sunday (1st service) - Pastor Brad Neuschwander (September 6, 2026) | Life Bible Church

Welcome to the Life Bible Church podcast. We

want to thank you for joining us today, and we

hope you find today's sermon impacting as you

listen to it wherever you are in your daily walk.

To find service times and watch messages online,

see our website at lifebiblechurch .org. Now,

enjoy this week's message. All right. This morning,

we have our... communion service, getting ready

to schedule. And I was debating on this Labor

Day weekend, Lord, do I stay with the communion

message, the full message that you want me to

do? I've got a couple other things. So I kept

firing James things all weekend. Thursday, I

sent him something. Friday, I sent him something.

Saturday, I sent him something. And he's like,

ah, you're not going to have time to do only

one of these. And so I said, well, I'll hopefully

know Sunday morning at about 9 .40 a .m. what

I'm supposed to do. And I think we're supposed

to just stay with the communion message. bring

us back to where we left off, if I could, kind

of just talking about communion. I know we've

been dealing with Passover to Pentecost. And

last time we shared communion, I shared with

you out of 1 Corinthians 11. So if you could

turn in your Bible to 1 Corinthians 11, we're

gonna kind of take a unique look again at 1 Corinthians

11. It is a intense passage. last time we kind

of spent time allowing the Lord in communion

to dig out of us any area. We set with about

three, four or five points of just letting the

Spirit of God move through us as we kind of prepared

ourselves and allowed the Word of God and the

Spirit of God to literally reveal to us if there

was anything that was outside his will, his character,

his nature that we were operating in so that

we could what? Be clean at his table. This morning,

I'm going to come at this passage a little bit

different. It doesn't mean it changes the passage.

It means that there's probably something, at

least I think there is, there's something deep

in this passage that isn't just a dreaded piece

of scripture of always coming to the Lord's table

as, ugh, I gotta allow the searchlight to come

on. I get that, there is that principle of it,

but there is something else in this passage that

I believe that the church often, well, fact is,

I don't know if I have ever heard this preached

about what I'm ready to preach. And now that

scares me. Pastor Frank, Dr. Damasio always used

to tell me, if you think you've heard something

that nobody else has heard, you better double

check it, triple check it, and then call me.

That was kind of his advice to me as a young

preacher. And so as I'm looking at this truth,

I realize that God is, there's, thank you, sir.

God has got some things. I've asked Rob to kind

of get behind me here a little bit because we're

going to kind of move this into a little bit

of a different way to look at this passage. I

don't want it to be somber. I want it to actually

be something that's actually celebratory. Because

when you read this, Paul shifts gears a little

bit. See, the traditional passage when you read

this is that you kind of move into a somber,

oh God, I'm messed up. Now you can turn to your

neighbor right now and just confess that if you'd

like. But often we stay, we stay in that place

of I'm messed up. We stay in that place of I'm

not deserving. And instead of coming to the communion

table, there's two things that should begin to

take place at the communion table. One, it's

a recognition that who we were and who we used

to be and the mindsets that have carried in us

and maybe still in us need to still keep getting

out so that we can, what, hear God, experience

God, allow not only his love to come and invade

us, but actually have fellowship and be strong

enough in our relationship of knowing what he's

done for us in his invitation that we could hear

him talk to us. The problem is, most of the time,

I'm saying most of the time, right? Most of the

time, we don't get to the point to actually hear

him. We just get to the point of cleaning things

up. 1 Corinthians 11, 23. Now you can turn those

monitors just a little bit up for me on that

organ. That way I know what he's doing. All right.

For I received from the Lord, let me just read

this. I received from the Lord what I delivered

to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when

he was betrayed, he took bread and when he'd

given thanks, when he'd given thanks, he broke

it. And he said, this is my body, which is for

you. Do this in remembrance of me. In the same

way, he took the cup after supper saying, this

cup is the new covenant in my blood. I want you

to get this. This cup is the new covenant in

my blood. Do this as often as you drink it in

remembrance of me. I'm gonna read. 26 is where

we're going to kind of get to the crux of the

matter. But you need to understand the majority

of our communion messages that we preach or that

we've been a part of, if you've been a Christian

for any length of time, And you've listened to

communion messages or the short renditions of

them, which is more popular now. It's an add

-on thing. It's kind of like a bacon on your

cheeseburger at a restaurant. You know, that

communion isn't actually highlighted. It's just

kind of a side dish thrown onto the meal. If

you've heard it, everything in remembrance is

usually done with a somber reflecting, almost

like a memorial service. Are you there? Who told

you that remembrance is supposed to be a memorial?

Who told you that remembrance is supposed to

be a memorial? You see, when I come to communion,

I am not celebrating only that there is Death

is supposed to be the appetizer that I understand

what he did for me. The remembrance is supposed

to be the meal where I recognize and celebrate

in victory what has come from death is now living

and full of life. When Jesus is taking this cup

and taking this meal, he's saying what? Do this

in remembrance of me. Listen, it was not. Please

get to me and listen to what I'm saying on this

point right here. The table in the upper room

was not a somber place. It only became somber

because of betrayal. The very foundation of the

upper room communion was what? I have desired.

To eat this meal with you. They didn't understand.

Folks you please hear the scripture. They did

not understand. What was about to happen to Jesus.

In just 24 hours. God kept it veiled from them.

Even coming down from the mount of transfiguration.

The son of man will be delivered. Into the hands

of the Romans. He will be crucified. And in three

days he will die. But he will raise. They did

not understand this. So everything that they

came to the table was in the joy of the old covenant

that God had covered them with his blood and

the death angel had passed over and they were

coming to a place to celebrate that God covenants

with man. It was not a place of... Oh, this is

a place where we remember that we're sinful.

No, the very essence of Passover that started

the communion was a very beginning platform,

was a place of joy and of celebration and of

life and preservation from God himself. That

God had selected them to be spared and to walk

with them as they were his people. That is the

foundation. of what we deal with when we deal

with communion. For as often as you eat this

bread and you drink this cup, you proclaim the

Lord's death until he comes. Now we read that

and we want to think cross, suffering, crucifixion,

pain, despair. My God, my God, why has thou forsaken

me? All of that is true and all of it should

be thought about and all of it should be understood.

But that's not the context of this verse. The

context of this verse was at death, your life

in Christ began. Every time you eat this bread,

Every time you drink this cup, you remember the

Lord's death. What was it? It was your birth.

It was your beginning. It was your start. form

of holding on to now experiencing eternal life

was the fact that at death, it was transferred.

What was in you where you had no hope, what was

in you that was lost, because of that, grace

came. Because of death, faith came. Because of

that, the joy came. Because of that, the Holy

Spirit came. Because of that, you've been brought

into something because death in Christ actually

birthed life in you. So when we come to the table,

we're not looking at it as what is in me that

I am just a puke. Man, I want to go somewhere,

but I'm not. I'm going to stay locked on here.

See, it's easy to look at ourselves and say,

I'm just a worm. I'm just a worm. I'm feeling

so low. Every time I take communion, I just say,

oh my God, just let me go. See, it's almost like,

you know, you're playing Ray Charles constantly.

I'm broke. I'm busted. I'm done. I can't seem

to overcome sin. I've never won. You know what

I mean? That seems to be where we immediately

go, but that's not what he's saying. He's saying

what? He's saying every time you take the cup

and you take the bread, You are remembering that

life is yours. It's not a poor me. It's not a,

I'm not making it. It's I'm a, I look at myself

and wish I was, I need to do better. No, it's

grace came. Righteousness came. Hope came. Joy

came. And I have. got something because of that

death. You see, what the Israelites got at the

Passover lamb, which was what? No death right

then and there because of the plagues. What we

got is no death forever. They got no death. in

the moment and liberation in their natural life,

but they were, come on, waiting for the promised

Messiah to be able to move from the holding tank

of not being totally, listen, if you were a natural

born Jew and were in Abraham, what that means

is you were according to. to the principles of

God's word. And in Moses, the scripture's clear.

You did not go to heaven. You went to the righteous

place of Sheol called Abraham's bosom. Jesus

taught on this and you waited for the Messiah.

Come on. They didn't have the privilege of walking

in paradise like you and I have when we go to

be with the Lord. See now, that's why Paul teaches

now, those who are absent from the body are what?

Immediately present with the Lord. They didn't

have that then. When it says, and they slept

with the fathers, that's exactly what it meant.

It meant they waited in a place. It wasn't painful.

It had peace. But they didn't get to go to where

you and I get to go. Why? Because there was a

chasm. That had not had a bridge. Jesus became

the bridge to now take us with eternal blood

from the place of just being waiting for a final

offering. See, that's where they were at. That's

what the Old Testament system was. Every year,

the atonement. Every year, they had to keep sacrificing

something. So guess what happened when they passed

from death to life? They had to wait. Until what?

In the fullness. of time, my goodness, in the

fullness of time, they waited, they waited, they

waited, not seeing heaven, not being in Zion,

not having any of it until what? The promised

Messiah would come. And that's why you read in

one of the gospels, when Jesus Christ was crucified,

it says the rock split, the graves were open

and 500 people that they knew walked around in

Jerusalem that they knew were dead. they saw

as they went their way to paradise so when he's

talking about first corinthians 11 he's talking

about when you take the cup and when you take

the bread you proclaim the lord's death what

you're saying is death does not have a hold on

me i don't go anywhere to purgatory i don't go

anywhere which is a lie i don't go anywhere to

the place of the fathers of the bosom of abraham

i go right into the place where the tree of life

is, where Jesus is, where the gates of heaven

are open. I pass from life to life. Every time

I take this cup, every time I take this bread,

I am talking and eating and drinking life. Are

you there? Now, That was my introduction. Whoever,

who? Whoever, whoever therefore eats this bread

and drinks this cup in an unworthy manner will

be guilty, the ESV says it this way, will be

guilty of profaning the body and the blood of

the Lord. Whoever eats this bread and drinks

this cup in an unworthy manner will be guilty

of profaning. Profaning means what? Defiling,

doesn't it? Profaning means taking something

that should be right and true and holy and bringing

a disdain or a tint or an evil to it. Right?

If you profane something, you're taking something

that you don't like and you're, in essence, you're

not necessarily cursing it, but you are bringing

it to a less than state on purpose. Verse 28.

Therefore, let a person examine themselves so

to eat the bread and drink the cup. If anyone

eats, this is our theme verse today. Aren't you

lucky? Here we go. Our theme verse. If anyone

eats or drinks without discerning the body, they

eat and drink judgment on themselves. See, that's

why it tends to just kind of move us into this.

I better be careful to touch the bread and the

cup because these are like the powers of God

to like, right? That's what it almost makes you

feel is like you're holding on to a live couple

of cords that if you touch it wrong, it's just

going to shock the, I'm eating and drinking judgment

to myself. Now, there are some realities to that,

but I want you to think something different here.

It says here, this is why many of you are weak

and ill and some have died. But if we judged

ourselves truly, we would not be judged. But

when we're judged by the Lord, we are disciplined

so that we may not be condemned along with the

world. All right. That's the whole passage. Let's

look at this verse, 1129. 1 Corinthians 1129.

For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning

the body eats and drinks judgment to himself.

Let's take a look at the Greek here just a bit.

This word discerning is the Greek word dakarino.

It actually, discernment actually means, you

see it, dia and krino. Krino means a type of

judgment. Literally, it means this word discerning.

The better word for this, we don't like this

word, but I'm going to use it. The best word

to describe this is discrimination. The best

English word to say, if anyone does not discriminate,

understanding, and I will just add to it, understanding

how to discriminate. you'll eat and drink judgment

on yourself. We've been so indoctrinated. Now,

the Bible's gonna talk to us a little bit about

discrimination. I'm gonna try to actually get

through this with the verses. But we have been

so conditioned on this word to discriminate as

it is completely evil. Now, We're going to give

caveats in certain applications of this word.

It is evil. But discrimination itself, if it's

pointed in the right path, is not evil. This

is what made me, once I was looking through the

Greek on this, I thought, oh, I can't wait to

preach this, Ron. I was just thinking, I thought,

man, if there's anything I like to do, my spiritual

gift is to provoke people. And I have a verse

for that. It says, stir one another up and provoke

one another all the more as you see the day approaching.

So I just received that spiritual gift. The reality

of discrimination, what does that mean? It means

to separate thoroughly. To withdraw from or to

oppose, to discriminate by making a judgment.

The root word here is krino. It actually means

to make a decision, to actually bring a judgment

that has final. That's why the Bible says, the

word krino, you'll understand it when I say this

verse. Do not be judged lest you yourself be

judged. That word in the Greek means do not make

a final decision on someone lest others make

final decisions on you. That's what the Greek

word means. But here, it's saying you're to do

what? Make a judgment on yourself. Make a discrimination

within yourself. Now, it's not like you think.

You see, we're going to say, do we discriminate

ourselves because we look at our sin? And no,

no, that's not what this is actually setting

you up to actually understand. It is different.

You see, when we think discriminate, we think

negatively about evil and color and race immediately.

And we should think that way about discriminating

against race and color. But what if the Holy

Spirit is speaking to an aspect of this word

that there is truth in discrimination as it regards

to your understanding of what Jesus did for you?

What if you were to actually use the word discrimination

for your benefit? We're so conditioned to use

discrimination. As evil, we don't want to even

get near it. But what if the Lord is saying,

I need you to begin to get near discrimination

with yourself? Hmm. Let's describe it. Acts 11,

12. Let me tell you how the Bible talks about

it. Acts 11, 12. And the Spirit of God, Peter

talking to... The people that came to knock on

his door when he was upstairs waiting for a meal

and fell into a trance, he's describing it in

Acts 11, 12. He said, and the Spirit told me

to go with them, making no distinction. That

word in the English means, it means making no

discrimination, which is what? Discrimination

gives hesitation or pause. to make a final judgment.

What did the Holy Spirit say? Make no distinction.

Don't hesitate, don't pause, and don't make a

judgment based on who they are, where they're

coming from, or what they're asking to bring

you into. See, there's way more that Peter was

dealing with this understanding in Acts chapter

Acts 11 · chapter mention

11. God wasn't just saying, make no distinction.

It was getting to the root of Peter's fabric.

That's why Peter started, even when he went to

Cornelius, what did he say? You know how unlawful

it is for a Jew like me to even be at a gathering

like this. And he started giving his own prejudices

right from the beginning. That's why the Holy

Spirit had to speak to him when he came to himself

after three times of unclean animals coming down

on a sheet and a vision, had to say, don't you

hesitate? Don't you pause? to think about a decision

of what you think you know or what you think

you believe already. I'm telling you to go with

them. They're going back to Gentiles. Do not

discriminate what I'm bringing you into because

you're going to have to learn to not distinguish

things by your soul and your flesh. You're going

to have to learn to have understanding by the

Spirit. You see, discrimination can either come

out of your soul and your flesh, or it can actually

be a godly thing to come out of your spirit.

Dr. Reno, how about this one? Acts 15, James.

Apostle James now getting an understanding of

everything that happened with Cornelius and the

Gentiles coming in. He said, and God who knows

the heart bore witness to them by giving them

the Holy Spirit. Just as he did to us. Just as

he did to us. He made no distinction. He made

no discrimination. That's the same word, docarino.

He made no discrimination between them and us.

Having cleansed. This is key for you to understand

1 Corinthians 11, 29. Having cleansed their hearts

by faith. Doc Reno, no discrimination. To God,

Gentiles now are no different than Jews. He made

no discrimination. Now the way to approach God

is through Jesus. The door is open. That's why

Paul could say, there's no Jew, there's no Gentile,

there's no slave, there's no free, there's no

male or female in Christ. He removed, and this

is the problem with most people, is they still

discriminate when they read the word of God based

on presets that they don't understand. Acts 10,

20 says this. I love what the Amplified says.

It says, now get up and, talking to Peter, now

get up and go and accompany them without doubt

about its legality in God or any discrimination

or hesitation. The Amplified actually uses it.

For I have sent them. You see here, we're not

to discriminate or hesitate, make a distinction

or discrimination on Jew versus Gentile. or between

race, or between color, right? God is making

it very clear, discrimination that used to be

tied, this is important, discrimination that

used to be tied to the law of Moses is no longer

applied the same way under the new covenant in

Christ's blood. Please hear me say that. Animal

blood, animal sacrifices required discrimination.

Blood of Jesus does not. There's a reason that

Jesus said at the table, when you take this cup,

it is the new covenant in my blood. Why would

he say that? Why? Because discrimination stopped.

You see, please hear me say this. Preachers don't

often preach this, but it's important. The reason

the Jews celebrated Passover, I'm gonna say this

carefully. One of the reasons, there's many reasons,

but one of the reasons they celebrated Passover

is that God made a discrimination in their favor.

The discrimination was, I'm choosing you out

of all these other people. I'm choosing you as

a nation, what I chose with the forefathers,

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I'm going to remember

my covenant 400 years later with them. That's

how long it was. And I'm going to allow the nations

of the world that are represented in Egypt and

all the nations that came to Egypt as they were

the power of the land. I'm going to show the

world that I am a discriminating God based on

my selection and choice. When you get to the

new covenant, that's all removed. You gotta hear

this. This is a big deal. That's why Paul is

teaching this way as a professor of the, if you

will, if there was anybody that was educated

in the law, it was Paul, the apostle Paul. He

knew what the law was. He was zealous. He would

have his PhD. squared. He was the elite of the

elite in understanding the minutia of the law.

And when he writes here, he's talking about discrimination,

but how God discriminates and how he wants you

to discriminate is totally different. He broke

the discrimination based on race, based on creed,

based on just choosing one. Nation representing

the whole world must come through that to now

what? That part of discrimination from natural

to spiritual. The natural discrimination is broken

based on natural things. That's why he says,

no male, no female. The natural differences are

broken in Christ. No Jew, no Gentile. Circumcised,

uncircumcised. No, broken. There's gonna be no

more distinguishing on that. There's no more

distinguishing on race or creed. That's done.

At the end of Passover, at the Lord's Supper,

when Jesus picked up the cup and declared what

he was about to do and said, now, this is the

new covenant in the Bible, discrimination on

natural things, natural races, over. Period.

And anybody that preaches anything to try to

tell you to hook back up to something that can

only be natural only even in end times is a liar.

It's a liar because they're perverting the scriptures.

What was he saying though? Is discrimination

over? Only in the flesh. Let me say that to you.

Discrimination by the flesh, by color, by race,

by skin or no skin. By sex, male or female, that's

done. Discrimination, however, changes teams.

It changes from being focused on the natural.

Now it comes over to you, both male and female,

both Jew and Gentile, in Christ, and you now

have the responsibility of employing discrimination.

What? Yeah. You're all to discriminate yourselves.

You don't get to discriminate one another. But

now the truth of discrimination that God used

to keep things holy. See, catch it. Remember

we're talking from Passover to Pentecost. Discrimination

kept things holy according to the covenant. The

old covenant required discrimination of natural

things. The new covenant changes and now you're

told to discriminate yourself about spiritual

things. Why? Because holiness is still the standard.

Hello? Holiness over here had a standard based

in the law. Holiness over here has a standard

based in Christ's righteousness. And therefore,

discrimination cannot be outward. Discrimination

now only applies to that which is inward. Are

you there? And here's the problem. If the church

views discrimination inwardly as evil, we then

don't celebrate the table like it's supposed

to. And what happens is, Paul's saying, because

of that, You do what? Many of you are sick. Many

of you are weak. Many of you fall asleep prematurely.

Why? Because you didn't discriminate the holy

body of Jesus Christ, which you're part of. Your

discrimination that's supposed to happen on the

inside is actually supposed to empower your faith

to actually receive from the new covenant the

principles, the virtues, and the life of Christ

that only can happen if you put faith in it and

discriminate what you used to be versus who you

are in Christ. See over here, yeah, thank you

guys. I'm glad you're coming out. Now you can

maybe get behind me here just a bit. I'm only

in, I have nine pages and we're not even off

the first page here, okay? So we may be hitting

this a few times. Let me just try to nutshell

this for us. Are you tracking okay so far? You

see, in that bread, It's the body of Christ.

In that cup, it's the blood of Christ. Our tendency

is to think about communion as, God, I need your

forgiveness. God, I ask you to forgive me of

my sin. And there's nothing wrong with repentance.

But in that mode, you're not discriminating correctly.

Because that table actually is saying it's already

been done. You see, that's what makes this table

only for a believer. Why was Paul so adamant

about this table being only for a believer? Because

only a believer can have an understanding that

through faith they've already been changed. That

through faith they've already received righteousness.

That through faith, they're actually pulling

on all of the things that Jesus Christ died and

did as it's done already. I've already received

salvation. I've received his life. When I come

to this table, I'm not coming to a place to repent.

Now, if you need to, then do it. But I'm not

coming to memorialize sin. I'm actually coming

to a table that actually becomes a fountain of

life for me and a celebration of when I come,

it was done, and now I'm pulling on all the things

that the new covenant says I can have. The discrimination

is not about how bad I am and how I need a savior.

This table becomes how I have been. and loved

by God. And now I come to feast of the life of

the King who took it all for me. And I come to

praise and I come to give gratitude and I come,

yes, I'm thankful for the cross, but more than

the cross, I'm thankful for the resurrection

life that I'm pulling from this table. Just like

the Jews that were around the table, Peter, James,

and John and all of the disciples. We're lifting

up the cup of wine, lifting up the bread and

dipping it in the salt. It was a joyful feast.

It became sorrowful that they didn't understand

the end because of betrayal. And then the cross

walking through the Kindred Valley and them all

scattering through fear when they saw the judgment

coming with the 600 soldiers in the olive grove.

Jesus being pressed out like an olive for the

last pressing of oil, saying, God, take this

cup from me. Then three days later, the stone

was rolled away. We don't spend enough time memorializing

and celebrating the rolling away of the stone.

Your stone's been rolled away. Why? Because you

were in Christ. You're now in Christ. You're

hidden in Christ. The life of God resides in

you. When I pull from this bread, I am pulling

from the one who exchanged his body to become

sickness and disease. To become everything of

the curse. Now listen, I can't go into a full,

I'd love to go deep, but I'd have to keep you

here another hour and a half. And so we'll do

this periodically. Pulling from Deuteronomy 28.

What? Rehearsing the curses. Jesus, all the curses

that God declared in Deuteronomy. Every curse.

It was said, you'll be cursed in your bread.

You'll be cursed in your body. You'll be cursed

in the water. All the diseases of the Egyptians

and more. Miscarriage. Every curse was laid on

Jesus at Calvary. When he rose from the dead.

This now, I'm going to take a piece. His new

body. A double piece. And full of gluten. I might

add. His body took all of that naturally and

was raised now in newness of life and has none

of it. Therefore, your faith in receiving his

exchange is that at this table, the revelation

of his kindness, that he was bruised for my transgression,

He bore my infirmity. As I get the revelation

of that, the table of discernment is I don't

have to stay weak. Remember what Paul said? Many

of you are weak and ill and die prematurely in

the bread. As the revelation comes, I can begin

to pull on all that was paid for for me and begin

to receive the transference of his life to mine.

That's why when you don't discriminate. If you

still stay in your linear thinking of who you

are and what's in your body naturally and not

begin to transfer it to the one who has no disease

or sickness and already took it for you, you'll

stay in that place. The same principle is if

you want to try to pay for your own sin and present

yourself as righteous, even though you're surrounded

by the gospel and the truth of his grace. You'll

stay in that. Why? It takes exchange. It takes

what? A pulling down to receive. To do what?

Eat and drink. Folks, I know. I hate Kronos time.

You're not eating and drinking Fran's Wonder

Bread or whatever we serve. You're not eating,

drinking that. You're doing something spiritually.

The Bible says you're eating and drinking of

him. So this is a prop that is connected to faith

and truth and the spirit of God that allows you

to partner with something physically as you're

pulling on something in the realm of faith and

truth. Are you there? That's what this is. Yes,

we saw it. We opened the packages. It wasn't

like it was built in a kosher oven. We didn't

ship it all the way from Israel. And even if

we did, it would just be bread. What are we eating

and drinking? We're eating and drinking the faith

of the truth that it's already been done. And

I'm now pulling in the life of God. Would you

stand with me this morning? Ushers, we're going

to move on this here. Father, I'm asking this

morning, Lord, as we come to this table, Lord,

we're not going to see it as a memorial. of death

exposing our sinful life. Those who take it this

morning, Lord, we're looking at all the other

side as well, which means what? That this is

a table of joy. This is a table of your love

and your expression of accepting us. Though we

used to be something else at the table, we're

called family. We're called beloved. We're called

empowered by the Spirit of God and your life

flows. Through us grabbing onto your truth and

your spirit. And the elements of Jesus coming

into our life. Lord, your life, your character,

your grace, your provision and joy are at this

table. And Lord, we open our hearts to receive

it. And we worship you now for what you've already

done. And we say thank you. We're pulling now

by faith. on your life for the body and for the

blood, for this church body and for the life

of the spirit, because you paid it all in Jesus

name. Amen. Let's take this cup and the bread.

We'll take it together at the end. Come both

sides of the table. Let's worship the Lord. Hallelujah.
