About

Communion Table Talks

Features
Read full description

For the brother who's been asked to lead the Lord's Supper. Communion Table Talks gives you original, scripture-rooted devotionals you can confidently share before the bread and the cup. Whether you have two minutes or ten, whether you've led the table a hundred times or this is your first Sunday, you'll find solid material that helps the congregation focus on Christ's sacrifice — without spending your Saturday evening writing from scratch. A growing library, written for this purpose. Every devotional is original and grounded in scripture. Browse the full library by length (brief, medium, or substantive), by passage, or by theme — and find the right talk for this Sunday in under a minute. Plan ahead, present with confidence. Schedule a presentation for an upcoming Sunday so it's waiting when you open the app. Use Presenter View to read smoothly from your phone or tablet at the table, with the scripture and key points right where you need them. Built around the Lord's Supper, not generic devotional content. This isn't repurposed sermon material. Every reading is written specifically to be shared in the moments before the congregation partakes — focused, reverent, and rooted in passages like 1 Corinthians 11, Isaiah 53, and the Gospel accounts of the Last Supper and crucifixion. What you get: • Original Lord's Supper devotionals — short, medium, and long • Search and filter by passage, topic, length, or keyword • Schedule presentations for upcoming Sundays • Curated collections by theme (Sacrifice & Atonement, In Remembrance, Seasonal, and more) • Presenter View — large, readable, easy to navigate at the table • Free tier with a sample of presentations; subscribe for full library access About the developer. Communion Table Talks is created and maintained by Michael Jones, a brother who has served at the table many times over the past 40 years or so. The app provides solid material, ready to use, written with reverence for what the Lord's Supper means. Subscription details: Monthly and yearly subscription options available. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID account settings.
