Communion Unifies | Behold [Week 4] | Dec. 27, 2020 | Matt Dobson

We can all tend to forget, or move past things quickly and so easily. So as we celebrate the birth of Jesus through the Christmas season, we also should be reminding ourselves of the death and resurrection of Christ. Communion is not something we do only in remembrance as we look back. Communion is something that helps to unify us, focus us, and is a constant reminder of the Gospel we so desperately need.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:17-34

1) Pause and reflect on this past year. What is something that you learned about yourself? What did you learn about God? What did God want you to learn from the events of this past year? As you reflect on this be sure to grab a journal or note pad and write down some of these things

2) Why is unity among the body of Christ so important? How does communion bring us together? 

3) What about reflection is difficult? But why is important? As you reflect on Christ and your life is there anything significant you would be willing to share?

4) When thinking about the Gospel what excites you the most? What are you most thankful for? Take a moment to thank God for this gift! 

5) As we enter into a new year consider creating a new family rhythm of doing communion together… this could be at a meal weekly, or once a month. Consider the joy of reflecting on the gospel together as a family.
