Instructions in Communion

Pray for EE if you know anyone going out explain a bit about them so the whole group
can pray for them. Pray for boldness and fruit that remains.
Stand and read 1st Corinthians 11:17-34 and pray.
Christ's work on Calvary forever gave us the power and authority so we can stop
anything that enslaves us and so that we can start anything He asks us to do!
First open your Bible to a Scripture that God is using to help you mortify your old life,

Galatians 6:2, bear it with them.
May I again remind you of the two sides of the coin of salvation. We could use Paul's
words from Romans—justification and sanctification. To best understand what Paul is
asking us to do in Colossians let me contrast and explain justification and sanctification.
ƒ At communion we remember our justification, what Christ did for me on the
cross--sanctification is what Christ is doing in me because of the cross.
ƒ At communion we remember our justification that was completely finished in me
the instant I was saved—sanctification is an ongoing process never completed on
earth until I meet Jesus face to face at death or His coming.
ƒ At communion we remember our justification that was activated the moment I
trusted in the Person of Christ Jesus and His finished sacrifice of the cross—
sanctification grows with each obedient choice I make empowered by the Holy
Spirit.
ƒ At communion we remember our justification which is my position declared right
in God's sight—sanctification is my practice made right by becoming more
conformed to s image.
