What Is Holy Communion And Why Should You Experience This Important Sacrament

Hebrews 10:23 tells us to have faith unwavering in all instruction, as a means of our personal faith in what God tells us to do. ("Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised)."

In the early church the disciples went house to house daily breaking bread or conducting communion suppers so that believers could hold fast to their identity in Christ.  

Acts 2:46, "And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart." Thereby was their faith kept alive.

This is very important, for by grace are we saved though faith. That verse tells us that communion suppers were conducted in homes. In the early church there was no such thing as church buildings or auditoriums. The church at that time was more intimate with effective ministry meetings in clusters. 

Today there is a return to this concept in the form of "home churches."

The communion supper should be conducted as regular as one would desire either officially in the assembly or unofficially amongst believers at any time. Today, many churches hold communion supper only once a month. This is inadequate. It is done infrequently because in a large central group it is time consuming to set up the emblems needed and for the dispensing.

If you wish to participate in communion during our service, use only unleavened bread (representing the sinless body of Christ) and the fruit of the vine (Passover wine or grape juice [grape juice is recommended] which is a symbol of the shed blood of Christ and our union with Him.)
