Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin

What if every time you break bread, you’re stepping into the same rescue story that freed Israel from Egypt? Every time we take Communion, we’re invited back into God’s great rescue of His people. This episode unpacks Exodus 12’s Passover—where the lamb’s blood met Pharaoh’s justice with God’s mercy—and shows how Jesus fulfills that story as our final Passover Lamb. See why Communion isn’t just a ritual but a living reminder of our past freedom, a taste of grace for today, and a promise of hope until Christ returns. “Faith is the mouth with which the soul feeds upon Christ. In the Lord’s Supper, Christ is not received into the mouth- that were carnal- but into the heart, and there spiritually and by faith.” — Charles Spurgeon 📣 Episode Mentions: Scripture Passages: 1 Corinthians 10 Song: Psalm 98 (Sing Unto The Lord) - Shane & Shane 📌 Supplemental Sermon Resources: This Week's Story This Week's Sermon In The Arena Sermon Series About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
