God's Word in Our Lives
Words are a big deal. In an understood word, my thoughts become your thoughts! And this happens almost instantly. Then you speak, I listen, and your thoughts become mine! Remarkable.
That the God who created all things, sustains all things, and fills all things would communicate with us is nothing short of beautiful. God speaks. We listen. Then we speak. God listens. Join us to hear what God has to say every week!
God's Word in Our Lives is a weekly dive into God's Word with Pastor Pete Zaferos.

Rethinking Religion: What Does Lord's Supper Mean To You?
Can you imagine what it was like to be the Israelites on the night of that first Passover? These instructions had been given. They did exactly what God had told them to do. On the 14th day of the month, in the evening, they sacrificed the lamb, collected its blood, and with a bunch of hyssop they painted the blood onto the door frame of their home. Then they eat, and while they eat, they wait. They eat with their cloak tucked into their belt, their sandals on their feet, and their staff in their hand. They eat in haste, ready to go, but while they eat, they wait. What were they waiting for? They were waiting for the LORD to pass through the land. And while they waited, what confidence did they have that they would be spared and soon leaving the land of Egypt? They had the promise of God. They had the promise that the LORD would see the blood and pass over them. They had the promise that the LORD would see the blood and not allow the destroyer to enter their house. They held onto that promise, and then they waited. They waited for the LORD to keep his promise!
Tonight, we rethink what the promises made to us, by our God, in the sacrament of Holy Communion really mean for us.
