00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:10.060
 Turn to Luke chapter 22, Luke chapter 22, Brian said that I got out of a solo, what

00:00:10.060 --> 00:00:16.879
 he didn't tell you was they picked the lousiest part of the song to give to me, had an octave

00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:22.280
 change, it was too high for me, it was, so I got disgusted and went home, but anyway,

00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.019
 so he'll set you up like that.

00:00:26.019 --> 00:00:33.320
 I want to have a table talk, even though we don't have a table, COVID's changed some

00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:43.439
 ways about how we do the Lord's Supper temporarily, but the Lord's Supper, as we know it, is not

00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:49.179
 the way they did it in scripture, just to be honest, I'm not talking about the prepackaged

00:00:49.179 --> 00:00:54.659
 cups, I'm talking about the whole process of how we do it, Christ established the Lord's

00:00:54.659 --> 00:00:57.039
 Supper in the upper room, around a meal.

00:00:58.239 --> 00:01:05.959
 He gave thanks, he broke the bread, that was their version of passing the biscuits, and

00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:07.500
 they had a meal together.

00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:13.120
 And at the conclusion of that meal, then he took the cup in the same way.

00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:23.620
 And the way we do it today is an adaptation, but the way we've done it for years is an adaptation

00:01:23.620 --> 00:01:32.020
 as well, and the first century church had the Lord's Supper and celebrated it around a meal.

00:01:33.140 --> 00:01:38.380
 They'd get together quite often in homes, and they'd meet together, and they'd have a meal,

00:01:38.379 --> 00:01:40.679
 and around that meal, they would remember why they came.

00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:45.879
 As they gave thanks for that meal, they broke the bread, and they thanked God for the body

00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.739
 of Christ that he gave for us.

00:01:50.699 --> 00:01:56.419
 At the end of that meal, they'd close that meal out by taking the cup and saying that they

00:01:56.419 --> 00:01:58.959
 were thankful for the blood of Christ.

00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:09.019
 It is these events that Christ, it was in those events that Christ, that they followed,

00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.439
 was based upon what Christ did in the upper room.

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:18.699
 In the upper room, before they were to go to the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus had a special

00:02:18.699 --> 00:02:25.359
 meal in that upper room with those disciples and established the fact that until he comes

00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.480
 back, we ought to remember what he does for us on the cross.

00:02:30.580 --> 00:02:36.740
 When he instituted that, we carry that out today in obedience to him.

00:02:37.220 --> 00:02:41.740
 In Luke chapter 22, verse 14 through 20, it gives us the occasion of that.

00:02:41.820 --> 00:02:42.060
 It says,

00:02:42.060 --> 00:02:48.740
 When the hour came, he reclined at table and the apostles with him.

00:02:48.740 --> 00:02:56.280
 And he said to them, I earnestly desire to eat this Passover with you that I'll suffer.

00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:02.180
 For I tell you, I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:09.280
 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, take this and divide it among yourselves.

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:17.500
 For I tell you that from now on, I will drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.

00:03:17.500 --> 00:03:21.560
 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying,

00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.479
 This is my body which is given for you.

00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:26.780
 Do this in remembrance of me.

00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.620
 And likewise, the cup after they had eaten, saying,

00:03:30.780 --> 00:03:36.020
 This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.659
 It is a very significant event.

00:03:39.659 --> 00:03:48.500
 He gives very significant instructions, not only for them, but it passes on to us as well.

00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:59.479
 Paul tells us that the New Testament church, tells the New Testament church how we are to respond to Christ's instructions when he said,

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.740
 Do this in remembrance of me.

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:06.439
 He gives specific instructions in 1 Corinthians 11.

00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:13.520
 And in the previous passages, he fusses at that church because they had been so selfish.

00:04:14.300 --> 00:04:17.360
 That when they got together, they did not wait on each other.

00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.060
 And there was division in the church.

00:04:20.860 --> 00:04:25.500
 And so because there was division within the church, they didn't bother to watch out for each other.

00:04:25.579 --> 00:04:27.779
 They just did what they wanted to do.

00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:29.879
 They didn't have a meal for fellowship.

00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.839
 They ate because they were hungry.

00:04:33.899 --> 00:04:35.719
 And they acted like they were hungry.

00:04:37.779 --> 00:04:40.199
 It reminds me kind of a family reunion.

00:04:41.719 --> 00:04:42.740
 Haven't been to many.

00:04:43.300 --> 00:04:44.500
 I don't have many cousins.

00:04:44.719 --> 00:04:47.560
 And the ones I do have always lived far from me.

00:04:48.420 --> 00:04:50.800
 But I've been to a few.

00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:53.839
 I married in and went to a few of those.

00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:59.099
 But there always seems that family reunions always seem to be three groups.

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.139
 One is there's family.

00:05:02.159 --> 00:05:06.919
 That's the people that you are dying to see and you can't wait to get back together.

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:11.439
 And they organize the event and you watch those reunions.

00:05:11.659 --> 00:05:13.799
 And when you see them, it is precious.

00:05:14.039 --> 00:05:14.959
 It is tear-jerking.

00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:15.759
 It is wonderful.

00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:16.539
 They're family.

00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:19.359
 Then there's the relatives.

00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.500
 You don't really know who they are.

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:26.600
 And yeah, they're connected to somebody.

00:05:26.740 --> 00:05:28.000
 But you really don't care.

00:05:28.139 --> 00:05:29.259
 I mean, you don't tell them that.

00:05:29.420 --> 00:05:32.800
 But those folks came to eat.

00:05:33.660 --> 00:05:35.060
 They don't care who you are.

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:37.220
 They don't wait on the prayer.

00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:41.920
 They just dig in like a bunch of dogs and push their way through the line.

00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:43.860
 And don't you worry.

00:05:44.699 --> 00:05:48.139
 Because they'll be back like a stampede to get seconds, you know.

00:05:48.139 --> 00:05:49.360
 Wanting a refill.

00:05:49.500 --> 00:05:58.240
 As you're fellowshipping with family, enjoying, the table once again is destroyed by the relatives that come through.

00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.979
 You don't even know if they're part of the family.

00:06:01.579 --> 00:06:03.219
 They might have just come in off the street.

00:06:03.300 --> 00:06:05.199
 You don't have a clue where they even belong.

00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:07.919
 But yet, they are relatives.

00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:09.699
 And then there's the tag-alongs.

00:06:10.899 --> 00:06:11.860
 They're not family.

00:06:11.939 --> 00:06:12.740
 They married in.

00:06:12.740 --> 00:06:18.439
 And all they want to do is be on their best behavior, get a good meal, and leave as soon as they possibly can.

00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:23.340
 And you just want everybody happy and to be at home as soon as possible.

00:06:23.339 --> 00:06:34.839
 But apparently, in the church in Corinth, there were a lot of those pushy dogs in the church fellowships.

00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:44.699
 As I began to prepare for our time together around the Lord's table and studying this passage and studying the context of the passage in 1 Corinthians 11,

00:06:45.419 --> 00:06:49.399
 I thought it would be a great time for us to have a fellowship meal, you know, next week.

00:06:49.739 --> 00:06:51.939
 Just to see how everybody acts, you know.

00:06:52.159 --> 00:06:56.559
 Just to watch and see who's family and who's relatives and who's just tagging along, you know.

00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.739
 Don't elbow people in the mouth when you're at a church fellowship.

00:06:59.919 --> 00:07:01.879
 Just don't build camaraderie.

00:07:02.059 --> 00:07:03.299
 Just don't do it.

00:07:03.300 --> 00:07:08.079
 Listen to what Paul said to them in 1 Corinthians 11, verse 22 and following.

00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:08.900
 He said, what?

00:07:10.060 --> 00:07:12.340
 Do you not have houses to eat and drink in?

00:07:13.400 --> 00:07:17.720
 Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing?

00:07:18.420 --> 00:07:19.800
 What shall I say to you?

00:07:20.379 --> 00:07:22.019
 Shall I commend you in this?

00:07:22.500 --> 00:07:23.759
 No, I will not.

00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:28.400
 And the point is, it was not to be just a meal.

00:07:28.400 --> 00:07:30.360
 It was to be a fellowship.

00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:37.800
 And that fellowship and that relationship was around what Christ did for all of us on the cross.

00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:39.020
 And it's still about that.

00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:41.639
 And therefore, it needs to be done properly.

00:07:41.780 --> 00:07:45.280
 It needs to be done often and it needs to be done right.

00:07:45.460 --> 00:07:53.860
 And it needs to lead us to look into three responsibilities that we have when we take part in the Lord's Supper.

00:07:53.860 --> 00:07:57.780
 The first responsibility we have is to remember.

00:07:58.699 --> 00:08:00.259
 Jesus was very clear about that.

00:08:00.819 --> 00:08:02.379
 We need to remember the cross.

00:08:03.080 --> 00:08:07.100
 It is easy for us to celebrate the salvation from the cross.

00:08:07.100 --> 00:08:14.939
 But we will not firmly grasp all of that until we get and get the whole message until we understand the scene of the cross.

00:08:15.640 --> 00:08:23.080
 Because when Christ hung on the cross, the sky strangely turned black, although it was at noonday.

00:08:24.320 --> 00:08:32.259
 For three hours, the sky was dark as night in the middle of the day until about 3 p.m. when Jesus died.

00:08:32.259 --> 00:08:36.620
 And the moment he died, the earth began to shake.

00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:40.500
 The earthquake was so violent that rocks split.

00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:42.340
 It was not a rumbling.

00:08:43.059 --> 00:08:44.799
 It was more than a typical tremor.

00:08:45.580 --> 00:08:50.360
 It was so violent that it tore the veil of the Holy of Holies in half.

00:08:50.439 --> 00:08:52.299
 It was 60 feet long.

00:08:52.419 --> 00:08:54.080
 It was 30 feet wide.

00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:55.240
 And it tore it in half.

00:08:55.340 --> 00:08:58.960
 And ironically, it tore it from the top to the bottom.

00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:02.600
 Which means it was not actually the earthquake that caused it.

00:09:02.780 --> 00:09:04.180
 It had to be done another way.

00:09:04.680 --> 00:09:07.400
 Honestly, I believe the veil was rent by God.

00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:09.980
 The earth was quaked by God.

00:09:10.420 --> 00:09:12.740
 The darkness came by God.

00:09:12.820 --> 00:09:15.620
 And in the midst of that, Jesus was taunted.

00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:18.280
 He was taunted by the crowd.

00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:25.980
 He was taunted by the thieves that were on the crosses on each side of him until something happened.

00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:31.159
 You remember that exchange of Barabbas?

00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:36.800
 That center cross was really Barabbas, the chief of the thieves.

00:09:38.500 --> 00:09:40.279
 Probably the chief leader of that gang.

00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:42.620
 And therefore, they were going to place him in the center.

00:09:42.800 --> 00:09:46.100
 And when Pilate gave the people the choice, they chose Jesus instead.

00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:52.460
 And he literally took Barabbas' place and hung between the thieves that had accompanied Barabbas along the way.

00:09:52.460 --> 00:09:57.180
 They taunted Jesus on the cross.

00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.080
 Said he was not who he said he was or they wouldn't be hanging there.

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:08.100
 And then all of a sudden, one of those robbers suddenly changed his attitude and thought.

00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.259
 When the other taunted, he corrected him.

00:10:13.780 --> 00:10:16.460
 In Luke chapter 23, verse 40 and 41, it says,

00:10:16.460 --> 00:10:33.519
 That guy amazes me.

00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:36.040
 What changed him?

00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:44.039
 What happened when he was on the cross as he was dying himself and looked over to Christ and all of a sudden something changed?

00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:48.679
 Could have been what he saw.

00:10:49.599 --> 00:10:53.360
 Because I believe for the first time he saw the king hanging there.

00:10:54.379 --> 00:10:58.439
 I believe for the first time it was sinking in that this God-man was real.

00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:04.000
 I believe he also noticed the silence that Jesus did not spar back.

00:11:04.420 --> 00:11:09.140
 He did not waggle his tongue back when folks would run their mouth to him.

00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:16.740
 However, it was he saw Jesus for who Jesus is.

00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:21.100
 And he responded to him and asked for mercy.

00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:27.940
 He said, Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.

00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.140
 And Jesus replied to him,

00:11:32.180 --> 00:11:36.480
 Today, you shall be with me in paradise.

00:11:37.160 --> 00:11:39.460
 And salvation came to that man that day.

00:11:40.880 --> 00:11:43.460
 The whole time the centurion watched that.

00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.720
 And when Jesus died, that centurion, an expert in crucifying people,

00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:51.800
 watching over and making sure everything was done properly.

00:11:52.060 --> 00:11:53.760
 But he was changed that day.

00:11:53.940 --> 00:11:56.240
 And he said, surely this man was innocent.

00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:59.840
 He also said, surely this man was the son of God.

00:11:59.980 --> 00:12:03.279
 He opened his eyes to see the Savior in the midst of guarding him.

00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:11.399
 And in the same way, our eyes ought to be open to the Lord and to his sacrifice when we come to the table.

00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:13.659
 Don't be so quick.

00:12:13.659 --> 00:12:18.839
 To take part without remembering.

00:12:18.839 --> 00:12:22.139
 Where our hope is.

00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:25.659
 Where our salvation lies.

00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:27.360
 Remember.

00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:31.059
 Second thing we ought to do is get clean.

00:12:32.539 --> 00:12:33.759
 Scripture's clear about this.

00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:39.720
 In just a few moments, we'll have a time, meditation and invitation,

00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:45.559
 to give you the opportunity to get matters right before the Lord,

00:12:46.439 --> 00:12:48.299
 before you partake in the Lord's Supper.

00:12:48.299 --> 00:12:52.839
 If there's matters in your life that you don't want to get right with God,

00:12:53.479 --> 00:12:54.219
 don't participate.

00:12:55.620 --> 00:12:57.419
 You need to be clean before the Lord.

00:12:58.599 --> 00:13:04.439
 Because you'll not only hinder your walk when you continue to go in your way pretending that,

00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:08.139
 but you also hinder the body when we take those things lightly.

00:13:08.139 --> 00:13:14.939
 The Apostle Paul told church in Corinth, they need to be careful.

00:13:16.419 --> 00:13:18.759
 In 1 Corinthians 11, 27, he says this,

00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:23.659
 Whoever therefore eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner

00:13:23.659 --> 00:13:27.759
 will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord.

00:13:29.100 --> 00:13:34.419
 Let a person examine himself then and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

00:13:34.419 --> 00:13:43.139
 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:43.939
 Listen to what he says.

00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:50.539
 That's why many of you are weak and ill and some have died.

00:13:50.740 --> 00:13:52.599
 Hello, I think you need to be clean.

00:13:55.179 --> 00:13:57.579
 When we pause in just a few moments,

00:13:59.199 --> 00:14:02.899
 don't be reluctant to get matters right.

00:14:04.419 --> 00:14:10.379
 That might mean to come down to these stairs to the stage and make an altar in your life

00:14:10.379 --> 00:14:13.199
 and lay some matters down before the Lord.

00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:16.139
 It might be to do that where you are.

00:14:17.179 --> 00:14:18.500
 I just want you to be obedient.

00:14:19.319 --> 00:14:25.399
 Be obedient to God and know that at the time you partake in the Lord's Supper,

00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:27.779
 that you are clean before the Lord.

00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:30.799
 We remember what he's done for us.

00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:35.479
 We respond to that by getting clean before the Lord.

00:14:36.259 --> 00:14:38.099
 And the third thing is we serve.

00:14:39.719 --> 00:14:43.939
 Paul shares in verse 33 and 34 that we need to watch out for others.

00:14:44.579 --> 00:14:44.919
 He says,

00:14:45.019 --> 00:14:48.699
 So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

00:14:49.699 --> 00:14:53.639
 If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home so that when you come together,

00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:55.779
 it will not be for judgment.

00:14:57.539 --> 00:14:58.639
 Wait on one another.

00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:07.439
 This is a very specific example to a problem that was very specific in that congregation.

00:15:09.100 --> 00:15:13.620
 But looking out for number one can be a problem in any congregation.

00:15:14.179 --> 00:15:15.960
 If you don't know who number one is.

00:15:17.779 --> 00:15:22.419
 If you think number one is yourself, it will cause a problem in the church of Jesus Christ.

00:15:22.419 --> 00:15:29.819
 But when you think he's one and you place him first and let him be the one that sets the standard in your life,

00:15:29.959 --> 00:15:31.299
 it makes a difference.

00:15:32.299 --> 00:15:38.539
 And one way to help us keep all of that in mind is to serve one another.

00:15:38.539 --> 00:15:44.439
 I'll tell you the part that I miss about these prepackaged cups,

00:15:44.539 --> 00:15:47.000
 although when I open that thing in front of everybody,

00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:49.000
 I hope I don't spill it all over me so you can see it.

00:15:50.500 --> 00:15:52.740
 But the one thing that I hate so much is

00:15:52.740 --> 00:15:58.539
 the service of the table of the Lord among the congregation.

00:16:00.179 --> 00:16:02.219
 It's good for us to serve one another.

00:16:02.220 --> 00:16:04.879
 Deacons serve the church.

00:16:05.420 --> 00:16:06.500
 It's what the word means.

00:16:08.259 --> 00:16:10.519
 I get the opportunity to serve the deacons.

00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:12.840
 They get the opportunity to serve me.

00:16:14.040 --> 00:16:16.759
 Because in the church of Jesus Christ,

00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:21.139
 everyone is a servant and everyone is served.

00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:26.720
 The ground is level at Calvary.

00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:31.399
 And so I believe when we respond to this,

00:16:31.420 --> 00:16:33.420
 as we leave this place today,

00:16:33.920 --> 00:16:37.639
 one way we do that is to serve.

00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:40.040
 Not just when we're taking the Lord's Supper,

00:16:40.940 --> 00:16:44.460
 but to put the body of Christ before ourselves.

00:16:45.800 --> 00:16:48.420
 To misquote a former president,

00:16:49.100 --> 00:16:51.019
 ask not what your church can do for you,

00:16:51.660 --> 00:16:53.279
 ask what you can do for your church.

00:16:55.139 --> 00:16:56.420
 I'll tell you what you can do.

00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.480
 You can remember the cross.

00:17:00.540 --> 00:17:04.160
 Never get away from the cross.

00:17:05.100 --> 00:17:09.880
 Get clean before God and stay that way.

00:17:11.259 --> 00:17:12.620
 And then serve.

00:17:13.980 --> 00:17:15.860
 Work until Jesus comes.

00:17:17.360 --> 00:17:20.160
 Serve others and not yourself.

00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:23.839
 And if we'll all serve others,

00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:26.579
 all the needs will be met.

00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:30.019
 The church in Acts gives us that example.

00:17:31.339 --> 00:17:34.400
 And God has prepared us properly,

00:17:34.660 --> 00:17:37.660
 given us every resource that we need,

00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:40.259
 as long as we are all told our load,

00:17:41.259 --> 00:17:44.000
 do our responsibility before the Lord.

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:49.299
 With every head bowed and every eye closed today,

00:17:49.299 --> 00:17:52.339
 I want to be clear what this is about.

00:17:52.339 --> 00:18:05.759
 It's a special time for the church of Jesus Christ to come to the Lord's table in remembrance and obedience of what he's asked us to do.

00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:08.140
 And as I've shared with you,

00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:09.640
 you need to be clean before the Lord.

00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:13.500
 You also need to be a professed Christian today,

00:18:13.500 --> 00:18:18.160
 having let that be known publicly through baptism.

00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:21.160
 If you've not done that yet,

00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:22.960
 I encourage you to do that very thing.

00:18:23.620 --> 00:18:25.840
 And I'll receive you for those purposes today.

00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:29.519
 But today is not a day for you to take the Lord's Supper.

00:18:29.659 --> 00:18:29.959
 Children,

00:18:30.099 --> 00:18:34.339
 I want you to understand that if you've never made a decision for the Lord public,

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.480
 your parents will not allow you to protect in this.

00:18:37.639 --> 00:18:40.439
 And I don't want you to question them in these next few moments.

00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:41.859
 Give them the opportunity to worship.

00:18:41.859 --> 00:18:45.799
 But I want to encourage you as you go home to ask about that.

00:18:46.479 --> 00:18:48.059
 Have a conversation, families,

00:18:48.099 --> 00:18:51.959
 around the table about what happened today at the Lord's table.

00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:57.819
 You can see lives change through the opportunities and illustrations that come forth from this.

00:18:59.199 --> 00:19:01.639
 And then all of us, let's be clean before the Lord.

00:19:02.939 --> 00:19:04.759
 Don't worry about what somebody else will think.

00:19:04.939 --> 00:19:06.279
 Let's worry about what God thinks.

00:19:06.979 --> 00:19:10.779
 Let's make it right with the Lord and honor him in all we do.

00:19:10.779 --> 00:19:16.379
 Lord Jesus, I love you and I thank you for what you did for me on Calvary.

00:19:17.339 --> 00:19:24.460
 For the opportunity and the message that you give us to share with everybody that you allow us to cross paths with, Father.

00:19:25.460 --> 00:19:27.539
 And I pray that we'll be obedient in doing that.

00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:31.379
 But I pray for everyone here today, dear God,

00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:35.700
 that you will help us to get our heart and life right before you.

00:19:37.139 --> 00:19:39.160
 Not just to partake in this supper,

00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:41.060
 but to live right before you, dear God.

00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:43.660
 To honor you with all of our lives,

00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:44.860
 in public and in private.

00:19:46.180 --> 00:19:47.600
 Oh God, speak to us today

00:19:47.600 --> 00:19:49.500
 and help us to be obedient to follow you.

00:19:50.740 --> 00:19:52.900
 We love you and thank you for what you're going to do

00:19:52.900 --> 00:19:54.279
 in these next few moments, Father.

00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:56.740
 In Jesus' precious name.

00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:57.960
 Amen.

00:19:57.960 --> 00:19:58.059
