Sermon: Every Meal a Celebration

“Rethink Church, Reboot Church Every Meal a Celebration”

(October 4, 2009) We continue the sermon series examining the practices of the early church in Acts 2:42-47, using their example as a starting point for ways we might not only rethink church but “reboot” it by going back to the beginning. This week, we find that the first Christians regularly ate together, celebrating as they did so the presence and blessing of God. On this World Communion Sunday, how do we give thanks and celebrate God not only at the communion table, but every time we gather for a meal?  (Acts 2:42-47, 1 Corinthians 11:17-26, Luke 24:13-35)
