Episode Synopsis

06.19 [Sermon] The Things That Shape Us: Part One - Communion - I don't know if you’ve ever noticed, but as you read through the New Testament Jesus is always eating. Every time you turn the page he’s eating. He eats with the Pharisees, he eats with tax collectors, he eats with prostitutes and sinners. He eats with his disciples. He feeds the five thousand with the loaves and fish. He's always eating. And if he’s not eating he’s talking about eating. When Jesus wants to picture the future kingdom he talks about a great wedding feast, a great banquet where the reconciled are invited. And, it’s in this light that we view the fundamental practice of communion and begin to understand how we might begin to reflect the full resolution of Christ and find ourselves shaped by His commitment to the reconciliation of all people and all things.
