Sermon: The Holy Communion

Introduction

The Holy Communion is an act of worship we engage every Sunday. It is also known as the Lord’s supper as well as the Eucharist. A term with its roots in the Greek ‘eucharisto’ which means ‘giving of thanks’.

Though it’s a seemingly simple act where Christians break bread and drink of the cup, holy communion is an important act. Therefore we should seek to understand (especially if you are new to the faith) why we do it because otherwise our participation becomes meaningless, displeasing to God and detrimental to us also. So in today’s sermon I am going to address three important truths that all of us should be aware of.

Introduction

Early Druids in France worshipped Samhain on 1st of November
They believed evil spirits left to harm people in such nights
People thought leaving food for them will neutralise the danger
Later on the Catholics made it a Christian holiday which they called "All Saints' day"
So the night before became the "Hallowed Evening"
Later on it was shortened as "Halloween"

Halloween is not for the Children of God! But why? Let me explain you.

AnSermon notes: Lessons on the attitude of Christ

Introduction

I have been a born again Christian for the last 21 years and in full time ministry since the year 2000, (Almost 13 years.) One of the most surprising discoveries I made after my conversion was that problems do exist in the church too! In fact I learned sometimes you have more problems in the church than it is in the world.

As a pastor I have been an observer of these problems as well as a victim sometimes. Recently I took time to reflect on these situations of the past and I have come to understand man’s desire to be in the limelight is the driving force behind many Church problems.
