Communion: Following Christ in Giving Ourselves Up -- Santosh Poonen -- April 20, 2024
Summary
The speaker contrasts the ritual of communion with the ultimate sacrifice of Calvary, emphasizing that Jesus's giving of himself was an invitation for others to draw from his brokenness. He teaches that receiving Christ's life should compel believers not just to be thankful, but to actively take up their own cross and become giving, mirroring Christ's self-emptying nature. The goal is to move beyond mere gratitude to actively becoming like Christ through a willingness to suffer and give.

Communion: Suffering With Christ — Santosh Poonen — November 16, 2024
Santosh Poonen · Nov 18, 2024
The sermon explores the deep meaning of the Lord's Supper, arguing it is more than just a ritual of forgiveness. The speaker emphasizes that partaking means taking Christ's sacrifice and making it personal, connecting it to the necessity of being filled with the Holy Spirit alongside accepting Christ's suffering. He draws from Colossians 1:24 to illustrate that believers are called to partake in the remaining sufferings of Christ.
