At Big Creek Church we celebrate communion weekly, you can read the theological and practical reasons are from this series of posts on the Lord's Supper, part 1; part 2; part 3.
1Peter 4:11 (NIV) If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking
the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength
God provides, so thatin all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.
To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Lord, I crawled across the bareness to you with my empty cup, uncertain in
asking any small drop of refreshment. If only I had known you better. I'd
have come running with a bucket.
Nancy Spiegelberg, "Bibles and Buckets," Our Daily Bread (7-10-99)
1Corinthians 12:28 (NIV) And in the church God has appointed first of all
apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also
those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts
of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues. There
are too many needful things to be done to wait around for someone to feel
gifted.
Kent Hughes
Ephesians 4:11 (NIV) It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be
prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers.
Someone can be a good third baseman, but not a good pitcher. If I'm called
to play third base, I'm going to be the best third baseman I can be. It was
a liberating moment when I realized I didn't have to be great at everything.
