The Sermon on the Mount, Day 7
October 11, 2009 |
Today is our day to practice worship together. Christ Church gathers at 5pm on Sunday evenings, and tonight Matthew 5:1-16 will be our focus. If you’re not part of Christ Church, get together with a group of friends and practice the following exercises:
- Eat together
- Read Matthew 5:1-16 together and share your experiences from your exercises this week
- Receive communion together (choose a reading from John 6:43-58, or 2 Cor 11:23-26, a liturgical book like the Book of Common Prayer)
- Pray for anyone in need

1I just read this quote:
“When we invite friends for a meal, we do much more than offer them food for their bodies. We offer friendship, fellowship, good conversation, intimacy, and closeness. When we say: “Help yourself … take some more … don’t be shy … have another glass,” we offer our guests not only our food and our drink but also ourselves. A spiritual bond grows, and we become food and drink for one another other.
“In the most complete and perfect way, this happens when Jesus gives himself to us in the Eucharist as food and drink. By offering us his Body and Blood, Jesus offers us the most intimate communion possible. It is a divine communion.” – Henri Nouwen
