“Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body...
Years ago when I was hospitalized, the pastor of the church (LCMS) I was a member of at that time brought communion to me there (he had a little "kit").
Recently, and for the unforeseen future, I am housebound due to illness. I desperately want to have the Lord's Supper, is this something I can...
I've come across a question that carries with it present significance during the coronavirus pandemic: 1 Corinthians 10:17 says, "Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread" (NASB). Is this "one body" the universal church (all Christians...
How often does your church offer the Lord's Supper? On which days of the week? A.M. or P.M? Did they switch the name from Lord's Supper to 'communion?'
Have you ever known anyone who showed up just for that due to Jesus' command 'this do in remembrance of me?' Was Jesus directing his words to...

If the Law is done away with, why are there cathedrals, sanctuaries, and other church edifices wherein religious ceremonies are enacted after the pattern of the old priesthood, or even, pagan rites? Doesn't the book of Acts establish a whole new way of being followers of Messiah?
Hello, everyone. Today I'll be arguing through early christian sources that the early Christians (c.100-325AD) believed in the Real Presence. I'm not a Catholic (or any denomination for that matter) so I've got no vested interest in defending this doctrine but I'm pointing out that the early...
Do you ever get tired of saying the Lord's Prayer, one of the Creeds (Apostolic/Nicene), singing the Gloria (in some churches this occurs after reciting a creed), singing the Doxology (usually after the offering has been passed), "passing the peace", reciting a corporate confession of sin...
This Sunday at Church, listening to my Pastor's sermon, I began taking notes as I was absorbed in the message. I noticed others weren't that interested, and my wife later said she had trouble staying awake. Some sermons are just more interesting to certain people. Being Communion Sunday (We...
