• 1 Corinthians 10:16- The cup of blessing
which we bless, is it not the communion of
the blood of Christ? The bread which we
break, is it not the communion of the body
of Christ?

9. Apostles Doctrine
• Acts 2:42 And they continued steadfastly in the
apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of
bread, and in prayers.
• 1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we
God without ceasing, because, when you received
the word of God which you heard of us, you
received it not as the word of men, but as it is in
truth, the word of God, which effectually works also
in you that believe.

1. If you take it every week you lessen the
value of it.
• One week has 168 hours. Typically 15
minutes of that is used for communion?
• What better way to start your week off
than by remembering the sacrifice that
saves our souls?
