Communion's Forgotten Story

Reclaiming What We Lost

We take the bread. We drink the cup. We remember Jesus. But for many of us, that's where understanding stops. Communion's Forgotten Story traces the Lord's Supper from its roots in Eden, through Passover and the upper room, into the early church and into your hands today. Discover how Jesus wasn't inventing a new ritual — He was fulfilling a story woven from the very beginning.

Sincerely Mistaken
Newest Investigation Church History & Scripture

Sincerely Mistaken

The Sabbath-Sunday Question

For most believers, Sunday worship was simply received through tradition. Until one pastor, after forty-five years of ministry, sat down with Scripture intending to defend what he had always believed. Sincerely Mistaken traces an honest journey through Scripture and two millennia of church history, asking a question rarely examined: where, exactly, does Scripture authorize the change?

Written with deep pastoral humility & grace

2,000 years of church history documented

A Small Group Companion

Rather than defending predetermined conclusions, each session offers an accessible format—icebreaker, Scripture reading, discussion questions, personal reflection, and closing prayer—structured for approximately 60 minutes.

About Rev. Mark L. Moody

“Writing from within the historic Protestant tradition, convinced that sincere Christians should never fear examining long-held assumptions in the light of Scripture.”

With over forty-five years in full-time pastoral ministry, Rev. Mark L. Moody brings both a shepherd's warmth and a scholar's rigor to every subject he touches. Originally from Washington State, he spent much of his active ministry in British Columbia, Canada — serving as a youth pastor, directing Teen Challenge for a decade, and pastoring local congregations for more than thirty years.

He currently assists in pastoral leadership at a desert community church in California. Mark and his wife are the blessed parents of four children and fifteen grandchildren.
