Another phrase in my youth culture - "So and so has left the building" - presence so momentous… leave a void…
Well what is your status in the house of the Lord, rebuilt tabernacle of David, the body of Christ?
How are you?
a most profound question, not small talk at all.
How are you - you really want to know?
Interesting to read of MLJ - vestry - desk - receive inquirers after each service… How is it it with you and Christ,m and you and His people?
Are you in session with Lord and His People this morning?
Closed with Jesus based on his finished work, but joined now in His ongoing work, with the gift of the Holy Spirit …
Book of Acts vital question:
1:14-15 All these with one accord were devoting themselves = giving themselves in loyaty to a person, occupying themselves diligently , same word here - to be continually into somehthing.
And that constitiued something = special Greek word…120 company of persons -.
What are you into?
Is Christainity just a one of many bags, a Sunday service hour or two each week - or are you into Christ?
= giving themselves in loyaty to a person, occupying themselves diligently , same word here - to be continually into something.
And that constitiued something = special Greek word…120 company of persons -.
What are you into?
Is Christainity just a one of many bags, a Sunday service hour or two each week - or are you into Christ?
2:1 day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place = more than geogrpahic location, heart location.
Saw that two weeks ago in how growth described - company of 120, the number, added to their number 3,00, by acts 4 30,000., -as come to the table can we count you in - are you as we sing, and are you abiding, remaining “May we now remain in union, with each other and the Lord.”
Perculiar phrase in
In LXX when they are enrolled in the community.
Technical sense, the MP is in the House, House of Commons.
Used same way in the Qumran community - enrolled in the special fellowship.
Used by paul in coming to the table of Lord:
To be together in the NT is not just together in small group, to come to this table - is to count yourself participant a gathered with complete church - I am in!
Key Truth: The Lord’s Supper is Christ confirming that he wants to live in you and you in him;
and you pledging that you will participate in his body and blood,
just as members of the body participate in the head, which directs and controls them.
Willb e expressed in 4 ways - 3 are so expected: looked at the last one already - Prayer; Looked at the first one - apostolic teaching - unique role - need to replace Judas - expect devote to teaching of what Jesus jus did and oing from OT Scritpure… but with signs and wonders declaring - heart of the matter forgiveness of Sins, remember - lame beggar - what did he offer him?
Are we a community committed to learning
Why it was a big deal in the early church, did as often as they ate and drank together, tied initially to potluck meal - needed to gather for encouragement, for teaching, and like any club pledging - live for each other - God pledging live for and with and in them!
You know what happens when family doesn’t gather together, or only in bad circumstances- why have speciall dinners, holidays, vacations - well that is what the Lord’s Supper is like for the Christains and why the long to be there with bro/sisters!
A. Breaking Bread is Part of Expressing Authentic Christianity

i. Looked at the first one a little- apostolic teaching - unique role - need to replace Judas - expect devote to teaching of what Jesus jus did and oing from OT Scritpure… but with signs and wonders declaring - heart of the matter forgiveness of Sins, remember - lame beggar - what did he offer him?
Are we a community committed to learning?
Why important - message of repentance, transformation new life - only in that gospel Word!
Anyone here - know the new creation, new huamnity, newness of life - heart set free from guilt, sin, when filled with Spirit - lnng for teaching of Apostles on Grace of Jeuss = God's doing a new thing!
iii.fellowship
The third one is also expected and closely connected to fourth - but expect devoted to the brother and sisterhood - teens and young adults -do you know how it gives us so much hope to see you wanting to hang out with each other - to learn word together - to develop true friendship… show up for each other… ; informally a rel strenghtof this church, but you know what someon fringe - assume strong \walk with Lord whole life - but new here -

Culture longing for this - Bruxie Cavey - Meeting House, KW Koinonia - not syaing have to get charismatic, or small home groups … do have to sign up and show up and put out for the fellowship - saves you, saves youas individual \but not for life with an indivudal savlation…social, body life compontent JI Packer…
This church of jesus Christ is the embassy of heaven to a lost world!
Some said don't need embassies any more… have one in NYC - only puprpose stand in line … but think quite otherwise if in land with civil war… battle going on …caught in cross fire..onlyhope is get to embassy - show the passport - safety…even evacuation … lifesaving station= church in this world … life-saving society - ie.
Red Cross - spritiual red cross - all certified to know and share Jesus Christ!
Remarkable oganization and ogranism = church is where divine soverieghnty reign of Christ in world and human agency intertwine in faithfilled actions that bring mena dn women girls and boys to jesus and cause the church to grow here and around the world!
Koinonia = common and fellowship… = in gratitude for God's gift, confidence in his care, and compassion for their spriitual brothers and sisters - believers liquidated excess possessions to meet the needs of others…
Would you?
Extra groceries one week… extra vacation… some monthly expense so for 30-40 bucks a month through compassion… extra land - liquidated not communism, as need - allowed church later to move out … Not communism, even Menno Simmons of the radical reformation - unique to this time, - butthefellowshiop - isn’t, the Carryin g each other’s burdens isn’t
So it is in this context, as you stand up and say authentic Christian - participate in Prayer, Word, Fellowship, that the last distinctive of an authentic Christian comes and that is: they devoted themselves to the breaking of bread!
B. The Breaking of Bread is Christ Confirming Communion (First of all)
By noun or by verb Luke speaks five times in Acts of “the breaking of bread”: and 46, as part of a description of the life of the Jerusalem church directly after the outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost; and 11, in the narrative of Paul’s visit to the assembly at Troas; , in telling how Paul encouraged the ship’s company to take food when in danger of shipwreck.

In Jewish practice, bread was broken when God was blessed at the start of a meal.
In early Christianity, the breaking of bread bore the special imprint it had acquired from its significant usage by Jesus.
In the Gospel of Luke (in whose light Acts has particularly to be read), Jesus broke the loaves when he fed the five thousand (); the Savior broke the bread when he gave it to his disciples at the Last Supper, saying,
(); and the risen Lord broke the bread at Emmaus () and was known to his two companions “in the breaking of the bread” ().
Around those highly significant occasions cluster then all the multiple words and deeds of Jesus involving food and drink that also give weight and texture to the observance which the church of Acts called by metonymy “the breaking of bread.”

Jesus had pictured God’s coming reign as a feast: “People will come from east and west, and from north and south, and sit at table in the kingdom of God” ().
Apart from the messianic act of already feeding the multitudes in anticipation of the kingdom, Jesus had been notorious also for eating and drinking with publicans and sinners (; ; see DJG, Table Fellowship); he thereby invited them to repentance (), for the mere eating and drinking in his presence was no guarantee of salvation ().
At the Last Supper he spoke of himself as being among his disciples “as one who serves” (), yet he was also able to promise them a place at his table in the kingdom which his Father had given him ().
After his resurrection, his appearance at Emmaus was not the only one in which he shared in a meal with his followers: he ate with the others in Jerusalem (), and in Luke gives Peter the summary statement that

Whatever the connection withthe agape feast, potluck for encouragmenet and worship, while still meeting for teaching in temple courts, possibly for prayers.
