What is the right heart posture for communion? We come not by our own merit but through Christ’s sacrifice. Examining ourselves and walking in the light keeps our fellowship with Him and others unhindered.
Why did Jesus command us to take, eat, and drink? Communion deepens our love for Him, unites His body, and keeps our eyes on His return. It is a joyful invitation to remember, abide, and hope in Him. Join Nate and Gabe as they explore Christ’s command to “Take, Eat, and Drink.”
Gabe Cleator loves Jesus and desires to help others to cultivate an intimate relationship with Him. His years of ministry to young men through the Journey to the Heart program as well as serving with Family Conferences have all been fueled by his desire to see people embrace Christ as the All-Sufficient One. He holds a bachelor's degree in Biblical Ministries and currently serves as the director of the Home Discipleship Network under the ministry of IBLP. His vision as the director is dynamic and focused. He says, “My heart burns to see God's people turn back to a vibrant, living Christianity that has Christ at the center and the Word as the foundation.” In 2021, Gabe released his first book, Always and in Everything, calling God’s people to discover the power of giving thanks in all things. Gabe and his wife, Sara, live in East Texas where they enjoy serving the Lord together. Gabe loves spending time in the great outdoors, especially when it involves taking fishing trips or visiting National Parks. From mountains and canyons, to waterfalls and wildlife, he takes great joy in the fact that his Heavenly Father made all these things!
