Faith@First - May 30, 2025
Every first Sunday, we come—not out of habit, but out of holy hunger. We gather at the Lord’s Table and hear once more the words that echo through eternity: “This is my body, broken for you… This is my blood, poured out for many.” Spoken by Jesus over 2,000 years ago, yet still alive with power today.
Communion isn’t just a ritual—it’s a divine intersection where heaven meets earth. We hold in our hands a piece of bread and a small cup, and yet, in them is a feast of forgiveness, love, and unity.
This meal won’t satisfy our bodies, but it feeds the soul. It reminds us that we are deeply known, deeply loved, and forever redeemed. Through this holy act of remembrance, we are drawn into the heart of the gospel: Jesus, broken for the broken, poured out for the parched.
This week, we’ll dive deeper into why communion is not just central to our worship—but vital to our witness. Because as we’re filled with Christ’s love at the table, we’re also sent from it—called to carry His love into a hungry, hurting world.
As we come to the table may we pray and live this prayer together:
Jesus may I be Your hands,
Your heart,
Your hope
in a world still hungry for You.
Keep the Faith @ First,
Pastor Nicole
P.S. Where and when was your most meaningful experience of Communion? Mine was with members of our church at The Garden Tomb in Jerusalem (pictured above).
