Pastor Chase Riebel gave the Communion Meditation this week over 1 Corinthians 11:23-29. This is the story of the last supper.
By taking communion, we are proclaiming that the body and blood of Jesus are enough to get us to glory; that what he did on the cross was enough to save us.
Jesus had all the power to not be on the cross, and yet he chose to endure it … for us!
Celebrate with joy his sacrifice on the cross, and his resurrection. He lives in and among us, and he works through us.
Pastor Chase’s sermon was titled “True Wisdom Comes From God.”
James 3:13 asks, “Who among you is wise?” (NIV).
Wisdom generally comes from experience, and we need someone with that wisdom that we can trust, to be vulnerable to, to open our hearts to.
We should ask ourselves, are they kind and gentle? Are they patient, considerate, humble? Do they truly listen? Or are they jealous?
Colossians calls us to bear one another’s burdens, to teach and council others with wisdom.
We should not use foul language or tear people down, but rather build others up.
Man often thinks of himself as wise and with no need for God.
The Gospel and the Cross often seem foolish to us, but Jesus is wisdom and we should build our life on Him.
Our world needs more wise people that have a Biblical foundation.
If we walk with the wise, we will become wise. When you associate with fools, it will lead you to trouble.
