7Worship is GOOD for us

a healthy Christian.
I will extol the Lord at all times his praise
will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in
the Lord (private worship alone with God) let
the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord
with me let us exalt his name together
(corporate worship with other believers.) Psalm
341-2

24A Basic Communion Message 1 Corinthians 1123-32
For I received from the Lord what I also passed
on to you The Lord Jesus, on the night he was
betrayed, took bread, and when he had given
thanks, he broke it and said, This is my body,
which is for you do this in remembrance of me.
25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup,
saying, This cup is the new covenant in my
blood do this, whenever you drink it, in
remembrance of me. For whenever you eat this
bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lords
death until he comes.
