It puzzles me that pastors who've been in the ministry or worship leaders for 10, 20, 30 years, don't recite more scripture at key points where it would be so powerful.

So the worship, the communion table is right here.

And I usually stand here, or now Kenny does, I did for, or Dan, whoever's leading.

You know, if you're preaching after or before the communion service, this is just a brief moment

where you're setting the table, trying to gather the people's hearts and minds to the significance

of this moment.

You don't need a book.

You don't need any notes there. Not if you've been in the ministry five years, you don't need a book. You don't need any notes there.

Not if you've been in the ministry five years, you don't.

I delivered to you what I received from the Lord, how on the night in which he was betrayed,

he took bread, and after you had given thanks, he broke it, and said, this is my body, which

is for you, do this in remembrance of me in the same way, also after you had given thanks, he broke it and said, this is my body, which is for you,

do this in remembrance of me.

In the same way, also after supper, he took the cup, saying, this cup is the new covenant

in my blood, do this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me, for as often as you eat

this bread and drink this cup, you declare the Lord's death until he comes.

You know that? Well, you don't need to read that.

Now, it's not wrong to read the Bible.

But it says so much to your people.

He knows this.

He loves this.

He loves this.
