2nd In Remembrance of Him, We Proclaim Christ Crucified!
This is My Body Broken for You!

This is the Blood of the New Covenant
By His Blood We Are Cleansed! Hebrews 9:13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

By His Blood We Enter In to the Father’s Presence!

3rd We Must Examine Ourselves! Do We Live the Gospel, We
Proclaim?
Examination and Restoration!
Idolatry – Do you love anything or anyone more than God?
Immorality – Have you participated in any immorality?
Pride – Are any of these things true of your life?
Greed
Disobedience
Selfishness
Dishonesty
Family
Self-Discipline
10. The Fruit of the Spirit
Do you show love?
Do you possess joy? Or do you grumble and complain with an embittered spirit?
Do you have peace? Or is there dissension, factions, fighting arguing and irreconcilable differences?
Are you patient? With your family? With your children? With your employer or employees? With your church leaders?
Are you kind in word and in deed?
Do you practices the goodness of God? Or are you mean, grumpy and critical?
Are you faithful? Can you be depended on? Are you a person of your word? Do you finish a job you have started? Do you work in your field as unto the Lord? Are you a self-starter? Are you supportive?
Are You gentle? Or are you harsh?
Do you practice self-control? With your tongue? With your appetites? With your actions?
ARE YOU WALKING BY THE SPIRIT?
