First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, Mississippi Morning Service

 “Taking the Lord’s Supper seriously is something that deep down most of us simply do not do.” That’s the way J.I. Packer begins the last chapter of his book, Taking God Seriously. Well we’re in a series this July on the means of God’s grace. These are the ways that God uses to grow us, to mature us, and to persevere us spiritually. We’re talking about taking God seriously. And taking God seriously means that we will read His Word and we will pray and we will observe the sacraments and we will gather together as the church. As Christians, we should be doing these things. And as we rely upon the grace of Jesus Christ and rest in the work of the Holy Spirit, God promises to bless us in these things.
