Rv Bible

Does the church you attend partake the Lord's Supper (Communion) on the first day (Sunday) of each week?

I am a member of the church of Christ. We partake in the Lord's Supper every Sunday.

In Acts 20:7, it says, “On the first day of the week the disciples gathered together to break bread…”

Every week has a first day (Sunday). This verse indicates that the Lord’s Supper was one of the primary reasons the early Christians met on Sunday.

1 Corinthians 16:1-2 also uses this phrase (“on the first day of the week”) in the command to take up a collection on the first day of the week. The NASB translates this as “on the first day of every week”. It is recognized by those translators that this command was a pattern for every week. (Very few churches have a problem taking up a collection every week.)

This language is very similar to the command in the Old Testament to remember the the seventh day as the Sabbath. Those under the Law of Moses realized that EVERY WEEK had a seventh day, so they remembered the Sabbath EVERY Saturday!

Some say that if you partake of the Lord’s Supper that often, it becomes too commonplace and routine. If an item of worship looses its meaning, it is not because we practice it too often.

Should we pray less often so it is not routine? Should we only worship once or twice a year so that it does not become too routine? Should we not sing as often?

If we love God, we will want to remember Christ often! This is the purpose of the Lord’s Supper; a reminder of Christ! If we have the proper reverence for Christ, this will be something we look forward to every week and it will not loose its meaning!

Yes, where I attend worship services, on the first day of the week we gather together to break bread and drink of the cup to worship, honor, and remember Christ! This follows the example given in Acts 20:7.
