TOPIC: “Three Keys to Worship Through the Lord’s Supper”
INTRODUCTION:
This morning we come to the observance of one of the two ordinances that the Lord commanded that we keep.
This observance is the Lord’s Supper.
It is a memorial meal.
Although it has no saving grace that it imparts, it is a strong witness in symbol of what the Lord Jesus Christ did for us.
It is an act of worship for the believer.
There are three keys to experiencing true worship in the observance of the Lord’s Supper.
I. EXPLAINATION (VS.24-25).
A. The Bread (v.
24).
1. Represents His broken body.

(4) Betrayal by those who ran (apostles).
(5) Nailed to the cross.
(6) Bones torn from joints.

For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.
