  3. What Communion Means for You: = For You

  4. What Communion Means for You: • (John 6:53-57) • Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. "Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. "For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. "As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. =

  5. (1 Corinthians 11:28-29) But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. (NKJV)

  6. (1 Corinthians 14:15) What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding. (NKJV)

  7. Communion: Remembering Christ Died For Us (1 Peter 2:24) who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness--by whose stripes you were healed. (NKJV)

  8. Following = Dying to Self (Mark 8:34) When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. (NKJV)

  10. An Important Issue (Romans 6:2) Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? (NKJV) (Romans 6:10) For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. (NKJV)

  11. Fruit of the Vine – BloodBlood is For Living (Leviticus 17:11) 'For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.' (NKJV)
