The Sermon Reel: Table Manners
Sermons from Andrew Lay
Communion is not about us. It’s about God. In fact, the founder of Methodism, John Wesley, believed that taking communion can act as a conversion experience where you encounter Christ right here at the table. It is a gift. That’s why we don’t grab it. When you come to the table, you come with your hands out – like you are ready to accept a gift.
And it’s not something that we do on our own. We do it as a community. We do it as a church. Jesus wants us to do this together, with other people, with everyone else. Because we need each other. And it’s together, as the church, that we live out our faith.
