communion

Summary

Routines can be helpful. I have a morning routine: I get up, shave, wash my face, brush my teeth, get dressed, and then go downstairs to make my oatmeal in the microwave (btw– I am not a fan of oatmeal, but I eat because Ollie tells me it’s good for my health!). But the downside of routines is that we can go through them without thinking about them. I remember when I was on staff at VCG, I was in such a habit of driving to the church that it felt like I was on autopilot. In fact, one day I was running errands in a different direction, only to find I myself headed to the church. I made the correction but a few minutes later, I find myself driving again to the church! Unfortunately, when it comes to celebrating the Lord’s Supper, we can do the same thing. We can go through communion on autopilot without really thinking about why we do it. So why do we celebrate communion? And how should we approach this God-ordained practice? Let talk about it this Saturday afternoon as we hear Part 13 in our series on I Corinthians!
