Sermon Devotions
Inspiring weekly devotions that motivate us to remain steadfast in our faith in Jesus Christ!
Week of November 30th
Devotion 1: REMEMBER – His Body Given for You
Scripture:
1 Corinthians 11:24 — and when He had given thanks, He broke [the bread] and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
Isaiah 53:5 — But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being feel upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed.
Reflection:
Before the bread ever enters our hands, the Lord calls our hearts to remember.
Jesus did not save us from afar — He took on a real human body, stepped into our suffering, and willingly endured beating, mocking, nails, and death itself. The cross is not an abstract symbol. It is the cost of our salvation. When we pause to remember His body broken, we anchor our faith not in our feelings but in the historic, sacrificial love of Christ.
The Lord’s Supper invites us to slow down, to let gratitude rise, and to truly behold the One who gave Himself for you.
Prayer:
Thank the Lord for giving His body to save you. Ask Him to stir daily gratitude in your heart for His sacrifice. Pray that He would help you fix your thoughts on His love, not on your distractions.
Action:
Take five minutes today to reflect intentionally on the physical suffering of Jesus.
Write down one sentence of thanksgiving to Him for His sacrifice.
Devotion 2: REMEMBER – His Blood Shed for You
Scripture:
1 Corinthians 11:25 — In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
Ephesians 1:7 — “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.”
Reflection:
The blood of Jesus is not simply a theological idea; it is the breathtaking center of our redemption story. His blood means you are forgiven, redeemed, covered, and made new.
Just as the blood on the doorposts sheltered Israel from judgment during Passover, Christ’s blood stands over your life as an eternal declaration: “You belong to Me.” No guilt is stronger than His grace. No stain is deeper than His cleansing.
The Lord’s Supper calls us to remember that our hope is not in our performance but in His poured-out blood.
Prayer:
Thank out Father that Jesus’s blood covers all your sins. Ask that He would help you rest in His forgiveness instead of revisiting old guilt. Pray that He would make you mindful of the grace that saves and sustains you.
Action:
Identify a sin or regret you’ve been carrying. Speak aloud: “In Christ, I am forgiven.” Let the truth of His blood silence every accusing voice.
Devotion 3: REPENT – Examine Your Heart Before the Lord
Scripture:
1 Corinthians 11:28 — “But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.”
1 John 1:9 — “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Reflection:
The Lord’s Supper is an invitation to come close — but not casually. God wants us to take sin seriously and acknowledge its destruction in our lives and the lives of others.
Sinful conduct and sinful complacency can dull our love for Christ. The Holy Spirit gently exposes, not to shame us but to free us from sin’s bondage.
Repentance prepares the heart to worship.
Repentance restores fellowship.
Repentance renews our delight in Jesus.
Self-examination is not about self-condemnation; it is about honest communion with God. God disciplines us so we will not be condemned with the world. God disciplines us because He loves us that much.
Prayer:
Ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart and reveal what displeases Him. Confess the sins you’ve excused or ignored and ask God to forgive you. Pray that the Lord would create in you a clean heart and renew a right spirit within you.
Action:
Set aside a quiet moment today. Ask the Lord to show you one area of conduct or complacency that needs surrender. Confess it and receive His cleansing with confidence.
Devotion 4: RENEW – Commitment & Confidence in Christ
Scripture:
1 Corinthians 11:26 — For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.
1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 — The Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout . . . Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.
Reflection:
The Lord’s Supper looks back to the cross, but it also looks forward to the King’s return. To eat and drink is to proclaim: “Jesus is coming again.”
It is a moment to renew your commitment: to endure, to trust, to follow, and to remain steadfast even through seasons of difficulty.
It is also a moment to renew your confidence: the grave does not win, sorrow does not win, the world does not win — Christ wins.
And all who belong to Him will share in His victory.
Prayer:
Ask the Lord to renew your devotion to Him today. Pray that the Holy Spirit would strengthen you to endure faithfully in every season and would fill you with confidence in His promise to return and make all things new.
Action:
Choose one practical way to renew your commitment today — spending extra time in Scripture, serving someone in need, restoring a relationship, or recommitting to a spiritual discipline.
