"This is my body. This is my blood." These are familiar words to a Christian. The observance of the Lord's Supper is one of the main reasons we come together as a Church. Over the centuries the church has divided over this observance. Added things to it. One Christian denomination sees the Supper as completely different than another denomination. On the other hand, why did Paul include explaining the practice to the Corinthians? And surprisingly, the cultural backstory to the Lord's Supper addresses, of all things, our current iteration of racial unrest in our culture. How so? Join with the Grace United crew as we discover how to approach the Lord in unity, by understanding a more complete story of the Lord's Supper.

If the Lord Jesus were to suddenly return and visit the local churches in our culture "in cognito" what would he find? What would he say about the way we worship God? Would he say to his people, "Well done?" Or would he say, as he did to his people in the Old Testament, "I don't accept your worship"? What sorts of things do we need to include in our corporate worship services so that he would indeed say to us, "Well done" on the Day of Judgment? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover the absolute necessity that his people worship him with authenticity.

The culture demands that we who live in the culture weigh in on the issues of the day. What are the issues of the day, June 2020? COVID-19. The aftermath of the George Floyd killing. As followers of Jesus, what should we do in the midst of the cultural demands? The signature song of the movie "Frozen" gives us a window, ironically into the truth. In 1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1, we discover that Christians really can "Let it go", to the glory of God. Join the Grace United crew to find out how.

"Preach the Gospel." To every creature under heaven. "Make disciples. Of all nations." "This is my body. This is my blood." Fifth Sundays at Grace United is when we partake of the Lord's Table, also called "Communion." Come with Grace United as we explore again, for the first time, why the Lord left us here instead of taking us home to heaven after He salvaged those who responded to the Gospel: That our God reigns. That salvation is found only in Christ.

What do fathers really need to hear on the day we honor them? The most important thing is to teach our sons and daughters salvation that is found in Christ alone by our words and how we ourselves live His life. "Teaching your children God's salvation is much too important a matter to leave to a pastor." Fathers, grandfathers, what are you teaching your children? How are you living your life in front of them, and the watching world? Come with the Grace United crew, especially if you are a father, and even grandfather, to hear words of challenge from God's word.

Ever thought about what kept the Apostle Paul up at night? What was it that was constantly on Paul's mind--the greatest Christian who ever lived--that gave him such consternation that he would be so very afraid to face the Lord? It was that he would be disqualified from the "race of life." What in Paul's mind consisted of being disqualified? And if Paul was afraid of disqualification, what about you and me? Join the Grace United crew as we learn how to avoid the pronouncement of "disqualified" on the Day of Judgment, when we stand before the judge of the world, the Lord Jesus Christ.
