Ive been following you for 6 months i thank you for helping me shift my focus on our lord and savior he has saved me from murder robbery and oppression time and time again
Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you today asking for your blessings as a single mom. I’m raising my children with strength and courage, despite the challenges I face with my sons being autistic. Lord as I struggle to pay my rent every month and as I struggle to buy groceries for my children. I ask that you bless me with your wisdom and guidance, as I navigate parenthood on my own heal my lupus and heart disease and continue to give me strength to keep going so I may watch my sons grow into men.
Thank you pastor David. Definitely taking communion either at church or home should be with repentance of our heart, respect and love for what Jesus did for us in the cross.
In reality Jesus Christ asked us to eat His flesh and drink His blood and where His flesh and Blood are then so is His Spirit. Please read the core relevant passages below of what Jesus Christ, the disbelieving Jews present and St Paul said in the Bible regarding the Lord’s Supper/Holy Communion/Eucharist, then the truth of how the Lord’s Supper can be celebrated as God intended. John 6:51-56 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” 52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; 55 for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. 56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. John 6:60-68 excerpts 60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?” 61 But Jesus, being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, “Does this offend you? …64 But among you there are some who do not believe.”… 64 For Jesus knew from the first who were the ones that did not believe…. 66 Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him. 67 So Jesus asked the twelve, “Do you also wish to go away?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.” Mark 14:22-24 The Institution of the Lord’s Supper 22 While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.” 23 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and all of them drank from it. 24 He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. 1 Corinthians 10:15-16 - St Paul 15 I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ? 1 Corinthians 11:19 -20 & 29 - St Paul 19 Indeed, there have to be factions among you, for only so will it become clear who among you are genuine. 20 When you come together, it is not really to eat the Lord’s supper… 29 For all who eat and drink without discerning the body, eat and drink judgment against themselves. God is the creator of all things visible and invisible and with God all things are possible. Therefore God is perfectly capable of taking bread and wine and changing them into the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Therefore there is absolutely no point for Jesus Christ to have employed a cryptic meaning regarding His request to “eat my flesh and drink my blood” and after blessing the bread “Take; this is my body” and after blessing the wine “This is my blood”. The way to celebrate the Lord’s Supper as our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ intended is to be a member of the Catholic Church (includes Ordinariate) or Orthodox Church. Catholic and Orthodox Priests have received the Sacrament of Holy Orders by a Bishop of apostolic succession and thereby have the faculty to consecrate bread and wine to become the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. There is no other way to obey God’s request to eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus Christ. In the Sacrament of Holy Communion one receives Jesus Christ’s corporeal flesh and blood and His Spirit. Our one true God is most gracious and wise and one should lovingly accept His divine gift because “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you” (Jesus Christ). God bless you

Have you changed your mind on who should take communion since this sermon? I ask because I’m a little confused. In a Q&A, I’d asked about my husband who refused communion not wanting to be condemned. I’d told you although he says he’s a Christian, he has not fully submitted to God. You agreed that he was right not to take communion. What would be the difference in that and the people you mentioned that aren’t Christians, but appreciate what Jesus did on the cross?

Pastor Lance replies - Sorry that I didn't hear David's live reply nor the context of the question. The context of 1 Cor 11 is instruction for Christians. Non-believers are not in view. it doesn't matter if a non-Christian takes the communion elements because they are lost and doomed to hell already. It's just dough and juice to them. It's different for someone who is born again but intentionally walking in fleshly rebellion to God. As a parent, I do not discipline someone else's spoiled brat. But I do discipline mine. Make sense?

It’s funny to me that any pastor would fence the table based on how obedient some are toward himself. Because obedience to a pastor doesn’t make someone a Christian either.

Relationship with YESHUA, is in the bible, different,unique,revealing,and momentous daily,.thru his words ,and what his presence means to me.
Curious what year this was, David’s Voice sounds so different.
I believe this is from the early 2000's, during David Guzik's pastoring oI Calvary Chapel Simi Valley!

In Catholic ritual the remaining host is disposed of in water so as to no longer resemble bread. It isn't burnt.
Praise be to God 🙏🏻❤️✨
Was it ever burnt.

Our one true God is most gracious and wise and one should lovingly accept His divine gift because “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you” (Jesus Christ).
God bless you
Pastor Lance replies - Sorry that I didn't hear David's live reply nor the context of the question.
The context of 1 Cor 11 is instruction for Christians. Non-believers are not in view. it doesn't matter if a non-Christian takes the communion elements because they are lost and doomed to hell already. It's just dough and juice to them. It's different for someone who is born again but intentionally walking in fleshly rebellion to God.
As a parent, I do not discipline someone else's spoiled brat. But I do discipline mine. Make sense?
@@DavidGuzikEnduringWord The way to celebrate the Lord’s Supper as our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ intended is to be a member of the Catholic Church (includes Ordinariate) or Orthodox Church. Catholic and Orthodox Priests have received the Sacrament of Holy Orders by a Bishop of apostolic succession and thereby have the faculty to consecrate bread and wine to become the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.

It’s funny to me that any pastor would fence the table based on how obedient some are toward himself. Because obedience to a pastor doesn’t make someone a Christian either.
To NOT say you are taking Passover is a good start🙄
“They’re not just symbols but they are powerful pictures to partake of”. ….
Whut..
They’re literally symbols.
🙄Praying for you bro, get well soon.
In reality Jesus Christ asked us to eat His flesh and drink His blood and where His flesh and Blood are then so is His Spirit. Please read the core relevant passages below of what Jesus Christ, the disbelieving Jews present and St Paul said in the Bible regarding the Lord’s Supper/Holy Communion/Eucharist, then the truth of how the Lord’s Supper can be celebrated as God intended.
John 6:51-56
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; 55 for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. 56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.
John 6:60-68 excerpts
60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?” 61 But Jesus, being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, “Does this offend you? …64 But among you there are some who do not believe.”… 64 For Jesus knew from the first who were the ones that did not believe…. 66 Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him. 67 So Jesus asked the twelve, “Do you also wish to go away?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.”
Mark 14:22-24 The Institution of the Lord’s Supper
22 While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.”
23 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and all of them drank from it. 24 He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
1 Corinthians 10:15-16 - St Paul
15 I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?
1 Corinthians 11:19 -20 & 29 - St Paul
19 Indeed, there have to be factions among you, for only so will it become clear who among you are genuine. 20 When you come together, it is not really to eat the Lord’s supper… 29 For all who eat and drink without discerning the body, eat and drink judgment against themselves.
God is the creator of all things visible and invisible and with God all things are possible. Therefore God is perfectly capable of taking bread and wine and changing them into the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Therefore there is absolutely no point for Jesus Christ to have employed a cryptic meaning regarding His request to “eat my flesh and drink my blood” and after blessing the bread “Take; this is my body” and after blessing the wine “This is my blood”.
