This sermon focuses on the concept of "communion of saints" from Acts 2:42-47 and Question 55 of the Heidelberg Catechism. The pastor explains that the communion of saints is a precious gift from God that believers should both receive from and contribute to. He compares it to children eagerly wanting all their birthday gifts, suggesting Christians should similarly value this communion rather than seeing it as an unwanted extra. The sermon emphasizes that this communion has two sides: believers receive Christ's treasures and gifts through their fellowship with other believers, and they have a duty to share their own gifts to enrich others. The pastor warns against treating church like a buffet where one only comes to receive without giving, and encourages the congregation to contribute their unique talents and spiritual gifts to strengthen the community. Throughout, he stresses that while the communion of saints isn't perfect because it consists of imperfect people, it remains an invaluable gift from God that should be appreciated and actively participated in.
