Communion

Pastor Bill Bush · Mar 31, 2019

Drawing from John 16:25–33, Pastor Bill shows that Jesus' final words to His disciples before the crucifixion were not empty encouragement but a genuine offer of peace and joy grounded in three irreducible human longings: love, faith, and hope. Because Jesus has already overcome the world — past tense, permanently — believers are not fighting for victory but from it. The cross is the flag on the hill, the symbol that declares the war is won, and communion is the recurring invitation to lift our eyes to that hill and take heart.

Public worship is not a checklist to appease an angry God, nor a consumer experience tailored to personal preference — it is both for God's glory and for our good. Because Jesus' sacrifice tore the curtain of the Holy of Holies from top to bottom, every believer is now invited into God's presence. When we gather corporately to preach the Word, pray, praise, and take communion together, we are responding to that invitation, testifying to those around us, and being transformed into the worshipers God made us to be.
