New Year, Same Lord

Homegroups

Celebration of Discipline
2 Peter 1:1-15

Communion
Luke 22:14-30
In KV we normally take Communion in Home Groups, but when we gather to receive it as a larger gathering it's good to remember what happened at the Last Supper, how the tradition of the Lord's Supper was first interpreted and how quickly it was corrupted. This gives us a framework for understanding what we are doing in Communion, and what our frame of mind should be.
