“On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day…”
(Acts 20:7a)
How important was the Lord’s Supper to the first-century church? It was so important that even though an apostle was in town, the church gathered together to remember break the bread of communion, and only then did they have Paul speak.
The Lord’s Supper was the reason for gathering; the preaching of an apostle was the bonus.
The first day of the week memorial is the spiritual meal our souls need every week. Don’t underestimate the value of the Lord’s Supper’s weekly observance. Even if Paul showed up next Sunday to preach, remembering Jesus’ sacrifice would still be more important than the sermon.
