SERMON NOTES

Communion

Stephen DeFur - June 14, 2026

When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.” —Luke 22:14-16

Communion teaches us:

Don’t assume life will always go the way you want.

Following Jesus does not insulate us from suffering and pain.

Don’t allow your circumstances to define you.

God is big enough to handle my future.

Communion should unite the community. (1 Corinthians 11:27)

Communion is a moment to remember. (1 Corinthians 10:16-21)
