False information
“Are We Still Waiting For Life?The Hidden Truth About Communion”. Many people believe that Jesus asked us to take communion to remember and proclaim His death until He comes again. But Jesus has already risen from the dead, so when we continue taking communion as if He hasn't, it’s like we’re waiting for life that’s already been given to us. Instead of commemorating His death repeatedly, we should celebrate His resurrection and the life He now lives in us. Romans 6:4 says, “We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death…in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead, we too may live a new life.” We aren’t supposed to keep looking back to His death but live in the reality of His resurrection every day. When Jesus said in Matthew 26:26-28, "Take, eat; this is my body… Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins," He was referring to what was about to happen on the cross and it was for his disciples. He also said, “I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it New with you in my Father’s kingdom” (Matthew 26:29). This statement refers to the new covenant we are now in-the covenant of grace. Jesus was pointing to the future reality that, after His resurrection, we would live in this new way, no longer bound by the old rituals but by faith in His grace and resurrection life. 1 Corinthians 11:24-26 repeats this, with Paul saying, "Do this in remembrance of me," but that advice was given before Jesus died. Now that He has risen, should we still proclaim His death as though we’re waiting for Him to bring life? No! He has already come back, risen from the dead, and given us His life through the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17). Communion is not the way to experience His life-we already have it by faith. Jesus Himself explained this in John 6:48-49: "I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, yet they Died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die." When Jesus spoke of eating His flesh and drinking His blood, He was talking about faith in Him, not a literal ritual. The Jews misunderstood Him, asking in John 6:52, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat?" But Jesus was speaking of a spiritual truth: those who believe in Him are united with Him by faith, not through repeated rituals. Continuing to take communion as if it’s necessary for life overlooks the fact that we already have His life. It’s not by Works or rituals but by faith that we live (1 Corinthians 2:12-16). Otherwise we don’t believe in his resurrection when we are still commemorating his death by taking communion. Paul, in 1 Corinthians 11:24-29, was correcting the Corinthians because they misunderstood communion,they were not examining themselves and they were taking it literally, not by Faith,even getting drunk on the wine, thinking it would bring them more of Jesus. Once Jesus rose from the dead and after his Last Day on earth, He send us the Holy Spirit, then the focus shifted from His death to our New life we now have in Him. Paul never carried a bag full of bread or a jug of wine with him to share with believers as if it were necessary for life. He preached and teaches Grace by faith in the risen Christ. His mission was to share the Good News that Jesus is alive and living in us, not to perform rituals in order to receive him. 1 Corinthians 10:16 speaks of the cup and bread as SYMBOLS of our participation in Christ’s sacrifice, but this participation is spiritual, through faith, not physical. Jesus’ life is already in us, and taking communion as if we’re still waiting for Him to bring us life is misunderstanding what He accomplished. Galatians 2:20 reminds us, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” In some gatherings they teach that if you don’t take communion, you don’t have life in you. But this teaching is false and puts fear confusion and condemnation in people. When you believe in Jesus' finished work on the cross and are sealed with the Holy Spirit, you already have life (Ephesians 1:13-14). Taking Communion doesn’t give you more life-Jesus already did that when He rose from the dead. remember that life comes through faith in Him, not through any physical act. To think that we still need to take communion to receive life suggests that we are waiting for something that has already been given. Romans 8:11 says, "If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who lives in you." We already have the life of Christ within us! Continuing to take communion as if we don’t have it yet overlooks the POWER of the resurrection. Let’s not forget, The life we now have in Him is a result of His resurrection, and we should live in that truth every day. Paul didn’t go around giving people bread and wine as if that was how they would have (Life)-Jesus in them. He preached faith in the living Christ. Let’s celebrate the life He gave us and not act as though we’re still waiting for Him to come and give us life-we already have it by faith!!🙌🥹😍🎉
Its fine with me if people believe this, but it isn't Christianity. Its something else.

Once again David makes sense out of conflicting thoughts for what should be our guide lines.
'We put love first"? You should be putting GOD first!! The UMC is "free from many obstacles of the past" The biggest thing you're now free of is adherence to the scriptures!
Thank you, Pastor David!!
Thank you!
Wonderful sermon and much needed to be heard by me today. I have been persecuted the past few months by people who don't want change in an HOA.
Bravo bells! 🔔 And thank you for the powerful sermon David Felten. We love being a part of this compassionate church!!
A great sermon to get to some understanding of todays world at war.
Nicely done DeDe.
Amen 🙏 ❤❤
Haters of God... 1Co 1:21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 1Co 1:22 For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom;
It says in GENESIS...only Noah was pure on his generations...gene rations...genes. The rest were not human. They had been corrupted so their nefesh could not commune with GODS nefesh.
Lies.
Yes. The Bible is 💯 truth and not only that, it has creative power to transform a soul deceived by Satan, blinded by evil scales on their eyes into a washed and sanctified child of God. Every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.
Garbage man needs to take out his own garbage
Dude, stop talking, blasphemer.
Lame
This man is a liar. The flood has been shown to be factual. But in a world that hates God as this man does. It doesn't get the air time it should.
Didn’t scientist prove that there was a great flood? Lmao
Wow! This guy probably has no theological, archaeological, or scientific background. He’s just making it up as he goes along. There are so many cultures outside of ancient Judaism (Old Testament) that have Flood history. Im Native American from New Mexico and even my people (Pueblo) have a flood story. Josephus (Jewish Antiquities) doesnt write about the flood like it was pretend, but as a factual event. Other writers of Antiquity who document The “Deluge” history are: Mochus: Chaldean Antiquities Manethos: Egyptian Antiquities Heironymus: Phoenician Antiquities As well as Hellanicus, Hesiod, and Nicolaus. All great historians of their time and culture. Dont take this guy at face value, there isnt much there that’s valuable.
There are fossilized fishes and crustaceous on top of mountains proofing the flood existed
The same imbeciles that wants to believe a big vacuum created life
I pray that Jesus removes the vail that Satan has put over your eyes. In Jesus might name
And they laughed at Noah for hundreds of years and the ark arrested on a high mountain top error at. How did it get there? Yes God destroyed the Earth with flood one time because of the cinnamon kind evil and he regretted. He felt sorry that he created me he didn’t destroy man, there was only eight people that were forgiven start to populate the earth again, and he never would do that again is rainbow in the cloud, the true rainbow, the only rainbow the covenant of the Lord the promise Jesus Christ is the only way John 14 six for God, sol of the world John 316 salvation comes all the Old Testament is pointing to Jesus Christ The New Testament is pointed Jesus Christ is your sign right there and we have the Bible an account historical account fax yes inspired by the Holy Spirit over 40 authors books Genesis to revelation. If you want to believe in it you can you can believe in the Lord, if you don’t, nobody’s going to high-pressure salesman Get on the Bible bus of these days. Things will be completely different and you wish you’ve been there. Salvation comes around once and after that, it’s going to be gone. May the Lord bless and keep you..
But, hold on for a moment. A book, written by near cave men, passed down orally for a couple centuries, translated multiple times across over a hundred generations and being solely the charge of the Catholic church and you really want to tell me it is historically accurate? We have textbooks from 50 years ago that were wrong about some of the biggest historical events of OUR TIME. I believe God the Father with all my heart, but it is the hearts of men I question. His word may not be corruptable but we sure are.
Someone doesn't know old testament from New first off! And we have science backing up a great flood. So yeah.
Well your presenting the claim. What are you factual evidence for you claim that the Bible is not historical events. Does something you consider genocide disprove the existence of God?? Balls in your court. I look forward to your rebuttal
This guy is lying and never once said anything to back up his claim.
Your gonna be shocked when you stand before God when you pass from this life, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, and scientifically studying animals and plants should prove to anyone that what we see was created by a grand designer. There is to much order in the universe for all this to be by accident. It takes more faith to believe in anything else than to believe God created everything.
AMEN….🙏🏼
Amen
Amen
The Bible has AWAYS been proven to be 100 percent correct. This man talking has no knowledge at all. I guess that there is no fixing stupid.
