Communion services are supposed to be the topic of a brief sermon.
● 1Cor 11:26. . . For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you
proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
Below is my favorite communion service homily; perhaps others have a
favorite of their own they'd like to share.

● 1Cor 10:16-17 . . Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks
a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a
participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one loaf, we, who are
many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf.
The bread that the Lord broke on the night of his last supper represented his
crucified body; and whenever I partake of communion's broken bread, it
reminds me that not only did Jesus go to the cross for my sins; but that I
was with him in the act.
● Rom 6:2-4 . . Don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ
Jesus were baptized into his death?
● Gal 2:20 . . I am crucified with Christ
FAQ: What's the point of going to the cross with Christ?
A: Jesus died for the sins of the world; which means that by going to the3
cross with him, I died for the sins of the world too: in particular my world,
i.e. my own little personal share of all those sins.
FAQ: So?
A: Well the thing is: Jesus is never going to die for the sins of the world ever
again because that one time on his cross was sufficient. The same thing with
me: I'm never going to die for my sins ever again either because that one
time with him on his cross was sufficient.
There was a time when I was dead to God, but thanks to Christ and his
crucifixion, that's no longer my status.
● Rom 6:10-11 . .The death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life
he lives, he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin
and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
So the communion service is not only a memorial of his body's near
destruction for the world's sake, but also a personal celebration of my own
body's rescue from certain destruction in the lake of fire depicted at Rev
20:11-15 wherein people dead to God will undergo the loss of their lives in a
manner similar to a foundry worker falling into a kettle of molten iron.
