Lord’s Supper Reflections

Nearly 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ instituted the world’s greatest memorial—the Lord’s Supper. Each first day of the week, we remember, proclaim, and give thanks. It’s a special time in the best day of the week for us to reflect together on Jesus’ sacrifice for us, what was accomplished for our good through his death, and the living hope his resurrection continues to provide.

We encourage those men who lead our minds in this observance to focus our attention and their comments on a specific passage of Scripture each week.
