The Body and Blood of Christ

Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14-16 I Corinthians 10:16-17 John 6:51-58 SLIDE – If everything were taken away from us, would the Body and Blood of Christ be enough to sustain us in faith?

In Exodus 19, Moses goes up Mt. Sinai to be with God. In chapter 31, God gives Moses strict orders on how he wants to be worshipped.
