Communion is a meal of faith, not a dead religious ritual. It is a sign of the fullness of God’s grace towards us, of the height and length and depth of his love for us.

Paul uses dramatic but accurate language to describe the amazing change God has made to every Christian: taking those who were spiritually dead and making them eternally alive in Jesus.

The blood of Jesus has won freedom from slavery for everyone who puts their faith in Him.

Whether it's 2,000 years ago, as recorded in the Gospel of Luke, 500 years ago in the days of Martin Luther, or today, what Jesus says about self-righteousness does not change. Nothing you can do will ever make you acceptable to God except receiving his free gift of righteousness. Abandon your self-improvement programme and receive this free gift!

Jesus made claims about himself that are backed up by his actions in life and that demand a response from us.
