Sermon Tone Analysis

LAST WEEK

We looked at Mary’s act of worship

We concluded that sometimes the praise we give may be looked at as waste

The only defense we have is the Glory given to the Lord.

At the end of the day, our worship and devotion to Jesus is our Defense.

We also saw how the most critical, cynical people

Can be the quickest to betray the God you worship.

THIS WEEK

We are going to look at the institution of Communion

We are going to look at Peter’s Denial

We are going to see a lot of things happening

AFTER CELEBRATING THE PASSOVER

After participating in a dinner that explicitly describes what Jesus was going to live out

JESUS INTRODUCES A PRACTICE THAT IS DESIGNATED FOR THOSE WHO KNOW AND FOLLOW CHIRST

This practice is not for perfect people

It is for people who know they are imperfect and still pursue after Christ and everything He has for them

The only other instructions regarding communion are written by Paul to the Corinthians

JESUS TOOK BREAD, BLESSED AND BROKE IT

GAVE IT TO THE DISCIPLES AND SAID “TAKE, EAT, THIS IS MY BODY”

Some churches or religions believe that the bread and the cup are actually Jesus’ Blood and Body

Some others believe Christ is present in the Sacraments

That it is both Jesus’ Blood and Wine or Jesus’ Body and Bread

We believe that it is a representation of Jesus’ Blood and Body

We use Grape Juice because it is the fruit of the vine

We don’t use alcohol because we know that some of us struggle with

We use unleavened crackers because thats what Jesus used

THEN HE TOOK THE CUP, GAVE THANKS & GAVE IT TO THEM, SAYING

DRINK FROM IT

ALL OF YOU

FOR THIS IS MY BLOOD OF THE NEW COVENANT

This is the shift

This is what Jesus desired from this new community

In the OT the covenant was made in
