Sermons About Eucharist
Peter Gerts One Right
This statement about his body and blood is the turning point in Jesus’ ministry; the place where he went from being just a curiosity or a miracle worker, to becoming a scandal. The Greek word for “a scandalous one” is “scandalon.” In English bibles, it is usually translated “stumbling stone.” When we compare Jesus to a “stumbling stone” what we mean that there is a time when everyone encounters the person of Christ and has to pull up short – the time when there is a choice to be made to believe him or not, to follow him or leave.

Bread of Heaven
By having us ask God the Father bread every day, Jesus gives us a way to remember that God is our provision. We are usually pray this prayer, heads bowed, eyes closed, using 16th century words like “hallowed be thy name.” But maybe it would make more sense for us to pray this petition with our eyes open and our heads thrown back, and our mouths open wide like baby birds demanding their share of the worm.

Welcome to the Table
Communion, the Lord's Supper is one of those things that many Christians participate in but do not necessarily understand. This act of Worship was commanded by Christ and it is important to understand why we are to do this. The Lord's supper is meant to be so much more than just a dry routine. Remember Jesus by understanding and celebrating the Lord's Supper.

Fed and Filled (Jesus meets the crowds)
Is the lesson of the feeding of the 5000 that Jesus can really do a lot with a little? Or is it a message to what kind of followers he would have? Jesus will show us over what kind of kingdom he will preside! Over followers who, when tested, will lift up their eyes and see God at work. Over followers who will even suggest embarrassing options if they know it can serve others. Over followers convinced that Jesus will have enough for them even after serving crowds. Over followers convinced that if they don’t have Jesus, they won’t survive!
