ETS ACADEMY · LESSON 4

Devoted to Communion

Teaching points

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

Read in Scripture

  • Acts 2:42
  • Luke 22:19-20
  • 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

Reflect

  • What does the table of Jesus reveal about the kind of community he is forming?
  • Where do you need to receive grace rather than perform for acceptance?
  • Who could experience Jesus' welcome through your hospitality?

Put it into practice

  • Receive communion with focused gratitude and confession.
  • Share a meal with someone outside your normal circle.
  • Write a prayer of thanks for Jesus' sacrifice and presence.
