How God Responds to Communion | Dr. Phil Griffin

Communion is not just a tradition. It is one of the most sacred moments in the life of a believer.In this powerful message, Pastor Phil walks through 1 Corinthians 11:23–29 and reminds us that gathering around the Lord’s Table is far more than a routine act. It is a deeply personal and spiritual encounter where God meets with His people.This sermon highlights three important truths about communion:A reminder of our realityWe are reminded of who we were without Christ. Depraved, guilty, and completely dependent on His grace. Communion brings us back to the cross and the price that was paid for our salvation.A responsibility to proclaimEvery time we take communion, we proclaim the death of Jesus until He comes. It is a call to share our story and make known what Christ has done in our lives.A call to examine our heartsScripture challenges us to approach the table with humility, sensitivity to sin, and a willingness to be searched by God. Communion is a moment to confess, be cleansed, and draw near to Him.This message is a powerful reminder to never let communion become routine, but to approach it with reverence, gratitude, and a heart that is fully surrendered.---Sermon Notes:I.
