When we celebrate communion, is there a connection with anyone or anything? How do we connect? The body of Christ is often spoken as being connected, often like how the human body works. How many times do we go through the motions and not feeling a connection to anything? With Christian communion is much to discover. In the Communion Connection, you will experience from being a friend to Jesus to the completion of your Faith. You will come away with a new perspective on many different avenues of Connecting the Jesus and one another. My point for this book is to keep communion uncomplicated, simple and complete. Communion is about fellowship and connecting with Jesus and one another. The most notable aspect of partaking communion is the premise of this book. The elements of the bread and cup are symbolic, nothing more. Within the chapters are aspects of why and how we partake of this tender and loving celebration. For the Lord Jesus, it was just that. It was an emotional moment with “His friends” as the last day of fellowship prior to the Crucifixion.

Communion with God, or in full, "Of communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost each person distinctly, in love, grace, and consolation; or, the saints' fellowship with the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost unfolded," is John Owen's finest devotional treatise. This work expounds "the most glorious truth that believers may have distinct communion with the three persons Father, Son, and Spirit," and being addressed to the "Christian reader" is simpler than much of Owen's theology. (Unabridged. Includes all footnotes.)

This 40-Week devotional comes at a unique time in modern history. It was written during a government-imposed lockdown designed to limit the spread of Covid-19 in the Czech Republic. The whole world is fighting the same battle.The motivation behind the project was simply to aid our community in serving themselves Communion while we could offer only on-line services. My wife and I arrived in the Czech Republic in the autumn of 1996 to serve in a Czech "church plant" with a vision to minister to the English-speaking community in Prague. We were installed as the lead pastors January 5, 1997, and have been celebrating Communion every Sunday since... at least until the first Covid-19 lockdowns.A fair question is, why is Communion so important to us? To be honest, initially celebrating Communion every time we gathered for a Sunday service was more out of blind obedience than deep conviction. However, the experience of weekly Communion has engrained a spiritual rhythm, to the point that a Sunday without Communion feels incomplete and lacking the spiritual connection discovered in the process.This book is not meant to be a replacement for community worship services. However, at times we are unable to join with our community and we are still hungry for the intimacy found in receiving Communion. This book is intended to facilitate those times via structured Bible readings and teachings on the topic of Communion. The seemingly exhaustible question I address is, why did Jesus command us to "do this to remember [him]?" The title of this devotional is symbolic of the importance of Holy Communion.At the beginning of the evening Passover meal, Jesus directs the disciples, "You ought to wash each other's feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you." Symbolically, we could call this the 11th Commandment. Next Scripture records another directive: On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me." In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant between God and his people-an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this to remember me as often as you drink it." For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord's death until he comes again (1 Cor. 11:23-26). This symbolic "12th Commandment" is followed by another command that Jesus refers to as a "commandment." Jesus tells his disciples after the meal, "So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples" (Jn. 13:34-35). In honor of 1 Corinthians 13, let's refer to this as the "13th Commandment." Please keep in mind that these devotions individually highlight an aspect of what might be behind Jesus' directive. The different weeks might vary from obvious to speculative points. However, the intent is to thoroughly explore the possibilities and get you thinking about a different aspect that might be related to Jesus' thinking. This will help avoid Communion becoming routine or merely a religious exercise.My hope is that you'll read each entry of this book and pray/meditate over the points brought up. The 40-week readings are ideal for those struggling with loneliness, sickness, times of spiritual drought, or times of struggle. Consider taking personal notes in a journal with each chapter. I pray you may find new determination in your struggles, new hope, new breakthroughs and new intimacy in your relationship with Christ. These unprecedented days will require more intimacy with Christ than ever before.

This book innovatively explores the notion of koinonia for understanding the nature and function of the Church. Since the Scriptures assert that the Church is the Church of God, God's communal mode of existence is looked at namely, God who is a communion of three hypostases relating to one another in an interpenetrating koinonia of infinite love as a way of understanding the very being of the church as communion. Such a notion of koinonia, far from having anything to do with socio-political understandings, suggests that it is a foundational gift bestowed from above to the world as the solution par excellence to the impasse of isolationism. More often than not, however, such an ecclesiology of communion has not taken seriously the historical reality of the Church living within the fallen world along with its ceaseless temptations, divisions and even sins in history. In this way, it becomes apparent that a dialectic needs to be acknowledged in the notion of communion as both foundational gift from God, and yet one still to be fully realised. Accordingly, this work shows that the Church is not only as the gift of God's miraculous presence here on earth. The Church is also constantly striving to exist epicletically until such time as it will fully experience the final consummation in Gods eschatological kingdom. An examination of this double dimensionality of the Church is undertaken in order to assess if this is in line with the Scriptural witness of the ekklesia. Having established the gift-goal dialectic in the notion of koinonia in the New Testament Church, the study then traces the trajectory of this dynamic approach to koinonia in the Churchs worship and authoritative structures. This promises to cast both a deeper light on, and a more realistic solution to ecclesiological problems within the life of the Church today, allowing for the Churchs constant renewal.

Written by one of the twentieth-century's foremost modern Trinitarian theologians The Christian Doctrine of God remains a classic ground work for scholars and students alike. In the book Thomas F. Torrance offers a detailed study of the most profound article of the Christian faith - the Holy Trinity. Torrance adopts a holistic approach when examining the inter-relatedness of the three persons - Father, son, and Holy Spirit - and their dynamic Communion with the Being and Nature of God. Combining immense academic range with his characteristically fresh theological perspectives, Torrance builds a significant theological bridge between ancient and modern, as well as between the Roman and Protestant theology; he engages deeply with the Church Fathers and discusses the ontological nature of God. Here Torrance conveys a simple message - the doctrine of the Trinity is the doctrine of God. This Cornerstones edition includes a new introduction written by Professor Paul D. Molnar, in which Molnar sets Torrance's classic work in its modern context and considers how it continues to influence the way we think about the Trinity today.

The Lord's Supper has been the central and characteristic action of the church at worship. But there are still many ways of understanding it and many questions surrounding this meal... Who should participate in the Lord’s Supper? How frequently should we observe it? What does this meal mean? What happens when we eat the bread and drink from the cup? What do Christians disagree about and what do they hold in common? These and other questions are explored in this volume of the fair-minded, informative Counterpoints series. Contributors make a case for one of the following views: Baptist view (memorialism) Reformed view (spiritual presence) Lutheran view (consubstantiation) Roman Catholic view (transubstantiation) All contributors use Scripture to present their views, and each responds to the others' essays. Included are resources for understanding the topic further, such as: A listing of statements on the Lord's Supper from creeds and confessions Quotations from noted Christians A resource listing of books on the Lord's Supper Discussion questions for each chapter to facilitate small group and classroom use The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.

You cannot make it without God’s mercy. Do we just need God’s grace in dark and shameful moments? Are prayers for mercy only for those times when we really mess up? Jonathan Parnell says we need God’s mercy all the time. In fact, contrary to many church cultures, Parnell shows that asking God for mercy should be as regular as asking God for our daily bread. There’s no doubt that David was in a terrible predicament when he first prayed the words of Psalm 51. It was a dark and shameful moment in the Bible, and one so dark and shameful it seldom feels relevant to us today. But David’s most desperate prayer is really a prayer for all of us—and not just for our worst moments, but for our every moment. In these pages, you'll discover: how to pray a daily, memorable prayer derived from Psalm 51 how to practice daily repentance and soul care how to pursue God and experience his joy in the Christian life This is God’s mercy, and it’s Mercy for Today.
