You and I Are One
By G.W. North01CO 10:16G.W. North emphasizes the profound truth of unity with Christ, explaining that all believers are part of His spiritual body, as He is the Seed of all seeds chosen by God. He highlights the significance of communion, where partaking in the body and blood of Christ allows believers to remember and exhibit His death, which is central to their faith. North reflects on the paradox of how Christ's death provides the means for spiritual nourishment and unity, underscoring the importance of recognizing that 'You and I are one' in Him. This unity is a demonstration of the triumph and achievement of Christ's sacrifice on the cross.

By G.W. North0GEN 14:18EXO 12:8PSA 24:1MAT 26:26LUK 22:19JHN 6:35ROM 8:171CO 11:23HEB 7:1REV 1:6G.W. North emphasizes the significance of the simple elements of bread and wine in the context of God's royal invitation to His feast, contrasting the Corinthians' misunderstanding of Jesus' lordship.

North urges the congregation to recognize the importance of these symbols, which have deep roots in biblical history, connecting them to figures like Melchisedec and Abraham. The sermon calls for a deeper appreciation of the simplicity and richness of God's provision, reminding believers of their royal heritage as children of God.
