Teaching Points
- 1
The breaking of bread kept the early church centered on Jesus' death, resurrection, presence, and promise.
- 2
The table is both remembrance and participation. We receive grace, practice gratitude, and make room for people who need belonging.
- 3
A devoted church does not treat communion as a private religious moment only; it becomes a community shaped by Jesus' self-giving love.
