Why Communion?

Richland Center Free Methodist Church

Why do we take communion? Is it just another tradition, or is there something deeper that we sometimes take for granted? Too often, we go through the motions without truly stopping to reflect on its meaning. The Lord’s Supper is a reminder of Christ’s sacrifice, a call to unity within the body of Christ, and an invitation to examine our hearts before God.

In 1 Corinthians 11, Paul challenges the church in Corinth, urging them to approach communion with reverence, understanding, and sincerity. When we break the bread and share the cup, we proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes, remembering the price He paid to redeem us.

This week, Pastor Tim unpacks the true purpose of communion, inviting us to move beyond habit and into genuine reflection, gratitude, and renewal. Join us as we rediscover the richness of this sacred practice and what it truly means for our faith.
