(BCP) Message: Ecclesia “Communion: A Symbolic Expression of Forgiveness” (1 Cor. 11:23-34)

Communion

We have been engaged in a series titled “Ecclesia: All About the Church.” The series has investigated various attributes of the church including its mission, the people who make up the church, the roles of pastor and deacon, and the ordinance of baptism. Today, Brian Chilton discusses the ordinance of communion and how it relates to one of the most central claims of Christianity: God’s insurmountable forgiveness towards us and the importance we have in forgiving one another. Join us today for the finale of the series “Ecclesia: All About the Church” with the message “Communion: An Expression of Forgiveness.”
