This document discusses the meaning and significance of communion or the Eucharist. It summarizes that communion connects Christians to:
1. The Passover and liberation from oppression for Jews and Christians throughout history.
2. The gospel message of forgiveness of sins and victory over death through Jesus.
3. Personal faith through weekly remembrance of what God has done.
4. Church worship and unity as God's people gather together.
So, when there is so much turmoil, so much fear, so much uncertainty, so much unrest in our world and in our lives, it is easy to ask, “Where is this epiphany, this manifestation of the Lord?” I think the answer lies within two key lines of today’s Gospel. What are those lines? And why should we carry those lines with us each day? Check it out…

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
What Should be the Christian View of Anime?Joe Muraguri
We will learn what Anime is and see what a Christian should consider before watching anime movies? We will also learn a little bit of Shintoism religion and hentai (the craze of internet pornography today).
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. Table,byGwenKerth
“Baskets are vessels to hold,
contain, and carry food…
Human beings are vessels
that hold, carry, and convey
God’s Word.
Christ is the bread of life,
of which we hold in our hearts,
and minds, and we must
convey that spiritual
knowledge to all. Knowing
this, how can we keep anyone
from seeking God’s Word,
and dining at The Table?”
4. This, you see, is what I received from the Lord,
and handed on to you. On the night when the Lord
Jesus was betrayed, He took bread, gave thanks,
broke it, and said, “This is My body; it’s for you!
Do this as a memorial of Me.” He did the same
with the cup after supper, and said, “This cup is
the new covenant in My blood. Whenever you drink it,
do this as a memorial of Me.” For whenever you eat
this bread, and drink this cup, you are announcing
the Lord’s death until He comes…

so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
