Book Synopsis This Holy Mystery by : Gayle Carlton Felton
Download or read book This Holy Mystery written by Gayle Carlton Felton and published by Upper Room Books. This book was released on 2005-04-01 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the body of Christ. This is the blood of Christ." It's Communion Sunday. The service is a little longer, and the sacrament is observed with gravity. You know it's important, but the wonder is lost. What does it all mean, really? According to the results of a survey, you're not alone. United Methodists have a strong sense of the importance of Holy Communion, but they also lack a meaningful understanding of the theology behind it. Reclaim a richer sacramental life in your congregation through a group study of This Holy Mystery. In 2004, the General Conference of The United Methodist Church adopted an official interpretative document on Holy Communion. For the first time in our history, the denomination has an official, comprehensive statement of the practice and theology of the Lord's Supper. Now, it's time for congregations to help members understand the observance. "We believe that study of this document will yield increased appreciation for the sacrament in the worship experience and enable United Methodist people to draw nourishment and strength for their ongoing journeys of faith," writes Felton. This Holy Mystery: A United Methodist Understanding of Holy Communion is a study guide of the General Conference–approved document. An all-in-one resource, this book is for both participants and leaders. It's divided into 7 sessions, providing commentary on the history, practice, and principles of Holy Communion in United Methodist congregations. It also points to implications of the sacrament for ministry and mission. We come to the Table of the Lord, seeking to have our spiritual needs met. The benefits include forgiveness, nourishment, healing, transformation, ministry and mission, and eternal life. Renew your appreciation for the divine grace made available through this sacrament.

Book Synopsis Sacraments & Discipleship by : Mark Wesley Stamm
Download or read book Sacraments & Discipleship written by Mark Wesley Stamm and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-08-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary task of the Christian life is to respond to God's gracious initiative by loving God and our neighbor, that is, the people God puts in our path. The sacraments help us do that. They hold up a vision of new life, and they make that life possible. This book discusses how such sacramental grace comes to us and how we might open ourselves to it in a more complete way. It emphasizes the work of God's grace, yet insists that there is a human side of the covenant, the work of receiving grace. Dr. Stamm helps us discover once again that to talk about the sacraments is to talk about the entirety of human life and Christian discipleship.

Book Synopsis Let Every Soul be Jesus' Guest by : Mark Wesley Stamm
Download or read book Let Every Soul be Jesus' Guest written by Mark Wesley Stamm and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historical and theological defense of the practice of open communion in The United Methodist Church and elsewhere. This Holy Mystery: A United Methodist Understanding of Holy Communion, adopted by the 2004 General Conference, made two commitments: first, to the historic norm of reserving Communion to the baptized and, second, to the insistence that United Methodists will turn no one away from the Table. The church made a wise choice, claims Mark Stamm, but one that raises questions and requires further reflection. Stamm engages in that reflection around the category of liturgical exception: a decision to affirm the ancient practice of the church while also choosing to set it aside for prophetic and pastoral reasons. The result is a book that will help United Methodists and others fulfill their calling to practice Holy Communion both as an expression of costly discipleship and as an invitation to relationship with the Risen One.
