RCCG APRIL 5th 2020 PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE SPECIAL SERVICE

PRAYER POINT: Father, help me to dine with you here on earth and in eternity.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE: Leaders should ask members why tithing is a must and not optional.

MEMORY VERSE: “24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.” – 1 Corinthians 11:24-25.

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.

LESSON INTRODUCTION:

Holy Communion is a symbolic service for every baptized member of the body of Christ called the church. The symbolic materials used are, the bread which, represents the body or flesh of Christ and the wine which represents the blood of Jesus Christ. The Bible did not specify how many of this symbolic service should be held within the month, week or days but verse 25 “….as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me”. This scripture suggests it should be done regularly and the essence of it is to Remember Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ particularly His sacrifice and victory.

This special service was instructed by Jesus Christ Himself as we read from our text above. The body and blood of Jesus are worth remembering because of what these two component parts of Jesus’ life mean to Christians. So, whenever we serve Holy Communion, we do remember Jesus Christ.

TEXT REVIEW: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

i Holy Communion is significant as a remembrance of our Lord Jesus.
ii Holy Communion helps to proclaim the death of our Lord Jesus.
iii Holy Communion is a must for every believer.

LESSON OUTLINES:

REASONS WHY WE SHOULD REMEMBER HIM

1 Because He received 39 strokes of the cane on our behalf to take away all our bodily afflictions.

2 The bread taken reminds us of His promises to take away our afflictions.

3 The wine also reminds us of the promises to take away our sins.

4 Holy is also a place and time to reconcile and renew our commitment and vows with Christ’s Kingdom and receive all the promises of God that came through Christ.

5 The body and the blood of Jesus are major sources of miracles. The sacred and holy service of Holy Communion encourages many to ask for grace to always experience the presence of God through Christ and to prevent the evil of the son of perdition.

SUMMARY:
Holy Communion helps in proclaiming the Death and Resurrection of our Lord to the world and His remembrance in the heart of every believer.

CONCLUSION:
The remembrance of Our Lord Jesus Christ through Holy Communion is no longer an option for Christians but it is a command from the captain of the host of Heaven, and if He has commanded, there are various things He wants to use the encounter to do which He may not do in other services.
