The Lord’s Supper
The Lord’s Supper was instituted by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The purpose being remembrance of the sacrifice made for us by Jesus Christ, which cleanses our sins (St Matthew 26:26-27; St Mark 14:22-25; St Luke 22:19-20; I Corinthians 11:25). The conduct of Lord’s Supper is laid down for us in the scripture using bread and wine. The bread represents the Body of Jesus Christ, and the wine represents his blood (St Matthew 26:26). In order for the Lord’s Supper to be administered correctly the wine must be served through one cup (St Matthew 26:27; I Corinthians 11:25; Mark 14:23) symbolizing the unity of the church and reflecting the oneness of the Godhead. The bread is served first then followed by the wine (I Corinthians 11:23-25).
 

Feet Washing

Lord’s Supper is not fully complete without the washing of feet. We learn that washing of feet follows after the Lord’s Supper bread and wine (St John 13:2 “And Supper being ended…..”) Jesus Christ teaches us that without the washing of feet we are not following him (St John 13:8). This was instituted by Jesus Christ (St John 13:4-5), who told us that he was leading by example and we should wash each other’s feet as he did (St John 13:14).
 

Government

All magistrates are ordained of God for peace, safety and the general welfare of all people: Romans 13:1-10. Therefore, it is our duty to be in obedience to all requirements of the laws of the land that do not contradict biblical principles. It is our duty to honor them and show respect in all lawful requirements of the Government.
 

Marriage and Divorce

Anyone who divorces his or her wife or husband, and remarries someone else, with his or her first spouse still alive has committed adultery. At the same time whosoever marries a divorcee is committing adultery (Luke 16:18; Romans 7:1-3; I Corinthians 7:39; St Mark 10:11-12). Circumstances and opinions don’t come into it, the Word of God tells us plainly right from wrong.
