Practical Practice Series - Communion (September 6, 2026)
In the final sermon of the "Practical Practices" series, Pastor Colby Friday addresses the profound significance of communion and the blood of Jesus Christ. He cautions against treating communion as an empty, hurried ritual, noting that many churches have reduced the practice to a casual and flippant routine. To emphasize the gravity of the sacrament, Friday vividly details the severe physical trauma and extreme blood loss Jesus endured during his crucifixion. He reminds the congregation that they are not saved by religious traditions or empty actions, but solely by the sacrifice of Christ's blood. Referencing biblical warnings against partaking in an unworthy manner, he urges believers to deeply examine their hearts and recognize the immense cost of their salvation before taking the bread and cup. Ultimately, Friday challenges the church to abandon careless habits and approach the communion table with profound reverence, gratitude, and a renewed understanding of Christ's life-giving sacrifice.
