The Significance of the Lord’s Supper
Scott Maze
1 Corinthians 11:23-32
Today is a special day when we take the Lord’s Supper together. In just a few minutes w,e will take what is known as the Lord’s Supper. You should have picked up the elements on the way in. Find 1 Corinthians 11 with me. I wanted to see what God’s Word says about the instructions in taking the Lord’s Supper.
Two Ordinances
The Lord Jesus told the church to do two things until He comes back: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Baptism is the act of showing everyone you are a follower of Christ. This is the beginning of the Christian life. Baptism is when you are publicly not ashamed of following Christ, and you’re happy to tell everyone that, ‘‘I’m counted as a Christ-followed.’’ If you have not been baptized, please come see one of our pastors in the Encourager’s Room. Please take out the communication card and write down the words, ‘‘I want to be baptized,’’ and give us your contact information.

But if we really understood the Lord’s Table, the Lord’s Supper as it is called in Scripture - it would be a transforming experience in our lives.

Do this in remembrance of me.’’ 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, ‘‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.’’ 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you pro ...
