Scripture in Feet Washing
 JOHN 13:12-15
 12
So after he had washed their feet, and had
taken his garments, and was set down again, he
said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
 13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well;
for so I am.
 14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed
your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
 15 For I have given you an example, that ye
should do as I have done to you.

twelve apostles with him.
15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to
eat this passover with you before I suffer:
16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until
it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take
this, and divide [it] among yourselves:
18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the
vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake [it], and
gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for
you: this do in remembrance of me.
20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup [is]
the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
COMMUNION
 The term Communion is derived from
Latin communio (sharing in common).
 [1] The corresponding term in Greek is
κοινωνία, which is often translated as
"fellowship".
 In Christianity, the basic meaning of the
term communion is an especially close
relationship of Christians, as individuals or
as a Church, with God and with other
Christians.
The word “Commune”
 “Commune” is “to talk to, commune
with, something that you can speak to
and it’ll speak back to you.” That’s
communing. A wafer cannot speak back.
So, really, the real communion is the
Holy Spirit speaking back. When you ask
Him, then He speaks back; that is correct
communion. This is a memorial to take
of His crucifixion and His resurrection
COMMUNION” 62-0204
The Roman Catholics
 Now, Rome does not call it communion.
They call it "mass." It's a holy mass. They
don't take communion; they take a mass. .. takes the
real meaning from communion. A "mass" means,
"hoping." They take a mass, hoping that
in doing this in the mass, that God will
forgive them of their sins, by taking the literal
body of Christ, which the priest turns to the Body
and the Blood of Christ, taking that, hoping that
God will omit their sins by doing so. It's a mass.
(KEY.TO.THE.DOOR_ JEFF.IN V-12 N-6 SUNDAY_ 62-1007)
The Protestants
 The Protestants call it "communion."
"Communion" means "thanksgiving.“
 The Catholic is taking a mass, in the mass hoping
that God forgives them of their evil doing. The
Protestant takes it with thanksgiving for what's
already done with the communion with God:
communing with Him, that it's already done.
 The Catholic is hoping it's done; the Protestant
says it's already done. The Catholic is wondering if
his sins is forgiven; the Protestant is confessing that
they are forgiven, that he is free. (KEY.TO.THE.DOOR_ JEFF.IN
V-12 N-6 SUNDAY_ 62-1007)
Remembering Christ
 In observing Communion we are
remembering Christ and all that He
has done for us in his life, death and
resurrection:
 Luke 22:19 - “ And he took bread, and
gave thanks, and brake [it], and gave unto
them, saying, This is my body which is
given for you: this do in remembrance of
me.”
Proclaiming His Coming
 In observing Communion we are
proclaiming His death until He comes. It
is, a statement of our faith:
1 Corinthians 11:26 - “For
whenever you eat this bread and
drink this cup, you proclaim the
Lord's death until he comes.”
Partaking of each other
 When we observe Communion we show our
participation in the body of Christ. His life
becomes our life and we become members
of each other:
 I CORINTHIANS 10:16-17

16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it
not the communion of the blood of Christ?
The bread which we break, is it not the
communion of the body of Christ?
 17 For we being many are ONE bread, and
ONE body: for we are all partakers of that
one bread.

according to the context, to communion,
sharing or fellowship with:

precious promises: that by these ye might be

The Materials in Communion
“Now, I do not believe that
kosher bread should be
substituted for a cracker. I
believe that it should be a holy
unleavened bread, the type of
the unleavened bread that was
made in Egypt.”
(WMB, QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.title JEFF.IN COD 59-0628E)
The materials in Communion
 And I believe that the Blood should
not be
grape juice, but it should be wine. Grape
juice sours and spoils as it gets old. But wine gets
better and stronger as it gets old; it never loses its
strength. And the Blood of Christ doesn’t sour and
spoil; as it gets older, it gets stronger and better as
the days goes by to the believer. And it is a literal
wine and bread. Communion bread should be
made by people who’s dedicated themselves and
consecrated themselves to God. (WMB,
QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.title JEFF.IN COD 59-0628E)
Open Communion
 “Now, It is not a closed communion.
It is absolutely for every Christian
believer. God don’t have the line
drawed between Baptist, and
Methodist, and so forth. We are all
by one Spirit baptized into one
Body, and we’re fellow citizens of
the Kingdom of God.”
Communion mustn’t be a Tradition
 You don’t take the Lord’s supper by a
tradition. You take it because it’s the love
of God in your heart, in keeping the
commandments of God. See? That’s what you
take it for. So if you don’t take it in sincerity, just it’s a
tradition,
 “Well, our church observes communion once every
Sunday, or once every month, or twice a year,” and you go
up, say, “Well, it’s my time,” and—and then take the
communion, why, it’s a stink to God. See? That’s just a
tradition. (COMMUNION.title TUCSON.AZ V-8 N-4 65-1212)
Communion mustn’t be a Tradition
 You’ve got to be sincere. God wants the depths
of your heart. You remember, the very God that
brought you here on earth is the One you’re serving. See?
You’re doing this because He said so, because it’s His
order.
 Then we want to come up with deepness and sincerity,
knowing that by God’s grace that we have been saved.
And we love Him and we feel His Presence, and we see It
change our lives. Our whole being is changed. We ’re
different people. We don’t live like we used to; we don’t
think like we used to. (COMMUNION.title TUCSON.AZ V-8 N-4 65-1212)
Communion is a Christian Requirement
 Every Christian should take Communion. It’s your
duty. It’s a showdown. See? Jesus said, “If you don’t
take it, you have no part with Me.” See? “
 ”But he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eats and
drinks damnation to himself.” That is, if you’re still
out with the world and doing things of the world,
and people see you taking Communion, you’re
doing wrong. You’re only bringing disgrace to you,
 and it’ll only harm you. It isn’t that—that it’ll
harm God; it’ll harm you. And so a person
 should examine theirselves. (WHAT.DOES.THOU.HERE.title
JEFF.IN 59-0301E)
Who’s not allowed to take Communion
 But, when it comes to a person like that, a immoral
person trying to make love to our wives, or--or
insult our daughters, or, you know, something
another like that, or do something immorally around
her, or taking our little boys out and making
perverts out of them, or something, those things
should be taken up, and then that fellow should be
excommunicated from the fellowship and not
permitted to take communion with it, because
we're not supposed to do that. We're not. "If any
eats unworthily, is guilty of the Blood and body of
the Lord," on that person.”
QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS_ JEFF.IN COD THURSDAY_ 61-0112)
Examine Yourselves
When observing Communion we
take time to examine ourselves:
1 Corinthians 11:28 - “A man ought
to examine himself before he
eats of the bread and drinks of
the cup.”
Examine Yourselves
 “But he that eateth and drinketh unworthily
eats and drinks damnation to himself, not
discerning the Lord's body. ” (1 Cor 11:29)
 That is, if you’re still out with the world and
doing things of the world, and people see you
taking Communion, you’re doing wrong.
You’re only bringing disgrace to you, and it’ll
only harm you. It isn’t that it’ll harm God; it’ll
harm you. And so a person should examine
theirselves. (WHAT.DOES.THOU.HERE.title JEFF.IN 59-0301E)
Repentance Before Communion
 Before we approach this sacred moment, you
ask God to search your life.
 And if You’ve done anything that’s not right,
say “Lord, forgive me for it. I don’t mean to do
it. I’ll make it right if You reveal it to me”.
 Said, “When you come together, tarry one for
another.” Let’s wait on one another and pray
for one another. We want to take this
Communion. And if we don’t do it, we have no
part with Him. (KEY.TO.THE.DOOR 62-1007)
Tarry for one another
 Now, it said, "When you come together, tarry one with
the other. "Tarry" means "to wait," wait on each other.
And let's do that now. I'll pray for you. If you know
anything that you've done wrong, say, "God, forgive
me. I didn't mean that. And if You'll help me from this
night on, I won't do it again. I mean it, Lord, I won't do
it again if You'll just forgive me. And upon my
confession 'I believe You have forgiven me,' I go to
take the body of Christ, feeling in my heart that You
forgive me for all my sin."
 I pray then for your secret sin; you pray for mine, that
maybe something we don't know about, that we won't
come together condemned with the world.”

Song
 Koro:
Panginoon, Narito ang puso kong bukas, Ba't ako
maglilihim sa Iyo, Batid Mo ang lahat sa buhay ko ,
Kaluluwa ko, lagi nang naghahanap sa Iyo, Ang
tanging hangad ng puso ko, ay paglingkuran Ka.
 Aking itataas ang Ngalan Mo Hesus; Pagka't dakila Ka, di
ka nag-iiba; Kaluwalhatian mo, ay sapat sa buhay ko;
Itakwil man ako ng mundong ito (ulitin ang Koro)
 Sa aking pag-iisa, ay naaalala Ka; Ang kalooban Mo, ay
binubulay ko; Magpupuri sa Iyo, di lang sa awit kong ito
 Itakwil man ako ng mundong ito (ulitin ang Koro)
Opening Prayer
 Now, let’s just bow our heads and pray. You pray for me silently while I pray for
you. “Father, as we’ve gathered around the table now to take this representation
of Thy broken body, we pray that if there be sin in our midst, Lord, forgive us.
You said, “When you come together, tarry one for the other.” God, if there’s a
sin in this congregation anywhere, I pray that the Blood of Jesus Christ will
separate that man from his sin, or that woman, boy or girl. And, Father, I pray
for myself, that You will separate me from every doubt, every sin, every
unbelief… We know that unbelief is sin. It’s the only sin there is, “He that
believeth not is condemned already.” And only sin there is, is not to believe the
Word of God. And, Father, if there’s any unbelief in me, forgive me, O God,
which there is much, and I pray that You forgive me. Forgive my congregation
that Thou has given me tonight, and feed them upon the Word. Grant it. And
as we take these little commemorations of the broken body of Him Who is
raised from the dead and alive forevermore among us, may we receive
communion from Him, Lord, the communing of the Holy Spirit. Grant it,
Father; we ask in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Presenting the Bread
 “These little parcels that is kosher bread made
without lard, seasoning, and so forth, which
represents the body of the Lord is not round;
it’s broke in all pieces. It’s because that it means
His broken body that was broken for us. And
may God grant His blessings to everyone that eats
it. Now, it is not the body; it only represents
the body. I have no power, no one else does, to
make it anything but bread. God alone. And
that’s what He told us, to eat this bread and drink
this cup of wine. Now let us bow our head.
Prayer for the Bread
 “Most holy God, Whose servants we are, in the Name of
Jesus Christ sanctify this bread for its intended use to
make us, as we receive it, we remember that our Lord was
crucified; and His body, precious and holy as it was, was
mingled with stripes and thorns and nails, for us, that
through His riven body came forth the Spirit that gives us
Eternal Life. May we, Lord, as we eat this, have journeying
grace, as Israel did forty years in the wilderness, and not a
feeble one among them. Father God, grant this, as we pray
You sanctify this bread, kosher bread, for The Bible said,
“And when he had given thanks, he brake [it], and said,
Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do
in remembrance of me.” [Deacons pass the bread]
SERVING THE BREAD
 MARK 14:22
And as they did eat, Jesus took
bread, and blessed, and brake it,
and gave to them, and said, Take,
eat: this is my body.
Presenting the Wine
 The cup of the New Testament, which is the Blood... REMINDS
us of that song, “Every since by faith I saw that stream Thy
flowing wounds supply, redeeming love has been my theme, and
shall be till I die.” When we the see this blood, grapes, the blood
of grapes, I know it represents the Blood that came forth from
the Lord Jesus’ body. May ever who receives this have Eternal
Life; may sickness depart out of their bodies; may weariness and
feebleness, oppression, may the Devil in every form leave them,
that they might have great strength and health and Eternal Life,
to let their light shine before this wicked and adulterous
generation we live in to glorify God. The Bible said, “After He had
taken and broke the bread, like manner He took the cup, and
when He had supped, saying, ‘This is the cup of the New
Testament in My Blood, which is shed for you.” May the Lord
grant His blessings upon this as we pray.
Prayer for the Wine
 “Heavenly Father, we present to You the fruit of the vine. In the Name
of Jesus Christ sanctify it to represent the Blood of Thy Son Jesus, in it
we remember that Jesus was “Wounded for our transgressions; with His
stripes we were healed. And dear God, it’s to represent that precious
Blood of Jesus that cleanses us, which from there came also the Token
of the Holy Spirit. I thank Thee, Father, for this symbol. You said, “He
that eats and drinks this has Everlasting Life, and I will raise him up
again at the end time.” We pray, Father, that You cleanse our hearts
together, that we will be worthy, knowing that in ourselves we are not
worthy, but by our faith we are accepting perfectly the righteousness of
the Blood of Jesus Christ. Grant, Lord, that Life will come to us, Eternal
Life in great abundance, that we might be able to serve You better. May
You sanctify the wine for its intended purpose. May whosoever drinks
this wine tonight have strength for the journey that lays ahead. Grant
it, Lord. May they be healthy, and strong, and filled with Your Spirit till
Jesus comes. Grant these blessings in Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.”
SERVING THE WINE
 MARK 14:23-24
And he took the cup, and
when he had given thanks, he
gave it to them: and they all
drank of it.
24 And he said unto them, This
is my blood of the new
testament, which is shed for
many.
