06/14/26 - Why Communion?

As we continue our Why Church? series, we explore the question: Why Communion? Looking at 1 Corinthians 11 and other passages throughout Scripture, we discover that communion isn't simply a religious ritual. Jesus gave this practice to His church as a way to remember His sacrifice, proclaim the gospel, celebrate the new covenant, examine our hearts, and demonstrate our unity as believers. Communion points us backward to the cross, inward toward self-examination, outward toward one another, and forward to Christ's return.
