Matthew 26:17–19

[17] Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?” [18] He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.’” [19] And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover. (ESV)

Matthew 26:26–29

[26] Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” [27] And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, [28] for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. [29] I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” (ESV)

Call to Worship

Psalm 116:5–7

[5] Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;
our God is merciful.
[6] The LORD preserves the simple;
when I was brought low, he saved me.
[7] Return, O my soul, to your rest;
for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.

Prayer of Repentance

Heavenly Father, we have not loved You as we ought, or honored You as You deserve. Forgive us our sins. Let us never slumber, never lose our assurance, never fail to wear the armor of God. Fit us for every situation and circumstance; Keep our mind focused on You and turn our trials into blessings that they may draw out our gratitude and praise. Holy Spirit, fill our hearts and cleanse our lives in every part. We pray these things in Jesus' name. Amen

Benediction

May the LORD our God be with you as he has been with me. May He never leave you or forsake you. My He incline your heart toward Him and cause you to walk in all His ways. Day and night may your prayers be near to Him. May the LORD maintain your cause and the cause of all of His people so that you and all the people of the Earth may know that the Lord is God, and there is none other. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen!
