The Lord's Supper : Welcome to the Lord's Table

1 Corinthians 10:15-22 (NKJV)

15I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say. 16The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.

18Observe Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 19What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? 20Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. 21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons. 22Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

Being Built Up in Love for One Another

Ephesians 6:10-18 (NKJV)

10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,15and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— 

Mother's Day Sunday : God's WOW Mom

Proverbs 31:10-31 (NKJV)

10Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.

11The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.

12She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.

13She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.

14She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.

15She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.

16She considers a field and buys it;
From her profits she plants a vineyard.

17She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.

18She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night.

19She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.

20She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.

21She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet.

22She makes tapestry for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.

23Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.

24She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants.

25Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.

26She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.

27She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.

28Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:

29“Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.”

30Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.

31Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.

Life That Is Grounded and Steadfast in the Faith

Colossians 1:18-23 (NKJV)

18And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

19For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

21And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— 23if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.
