The Lord’s Supper

Posted on December 26, 2015 by Doug

“For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.” 1 Corinthians 11:23-26).  Continue reading →

We all start out life looking something like the picture above.

Sincere Love of The Brethren

Posted on December 17, 2015 by Doug

There are many examples of love in the old testament: Ruth’s love for Naomi (book of Ruth); Jacobs love for Rachael (Genesis 29:1-28) and even physical love between King Solomon and His wife (Song of Solomon). Perhaps the greatest example is the love between David and Jonathan (1 Samuel 18:3,4). Their love for each other gives us the perfect example of how we should love our brothers and sisters in the Lord. Continue reading →
