Welcome to the Crazy Love Podcast.

There is a deep intimacy that takes place when the church comes together in unity at the

Lord's table.

God's desire is to commune with His body, not just a collection of individuals.

When we put aside our differences and join together to receive the bread in the cup, something

special occurs.

In this week's episode, Pastor Francis Chan teaches on the depth of this intimacy and

the importance of coming together to partake in the Lord's Supper.

This message was from the We Are Church Gathering at the Fox Theatre on October 10.

Okay, for those of you who do the Bible reading with us this morning, we were in John

chapter 3, and we all love John 3, I hope.

But it was the end of the chapter where John the Baptist was baptizing people and some

of his disciples are like, hey, Jesus is baptizing and people are going to him rather than you

and almost like expecting John to be bothered by that and John's like, no, this actually

makes my joy complete.

He says, this is what I wanted.

Like this is like, oh no, they're not coming to me, they're going to Jesus.

He goes, you understand, I'm thrilled about this.

This makes my joy complete and that verse just jumped out at me this morning thinking,

wow, I was saying, that's makes my, that makes my joy complete.

See, that is the hope of these three weeks here together and explaining the body and blood

of Jesus.
