The Lord's Table

The New Testament prescribes two ordinances that the church must consistently practice as an act of worship to God: believer's baptism and communion. These ordinances, or rites or ceremonies, have significant meaning for the Christian in light of the person and work of Jesus Christ. Sadly, many Christians don't fully grasp the richness of what the Bible teaches about the Lord's Table. In fact, the first century church of Corinth needed apostolic intervention because of their abuse of this ordinance. As the apostle Paul corrects their sinfulness, he reveals timeless truths that are applicable to the church today. Join Tom Pennington as he gives an in-depth explanation of Paul's teaching on The Lord's Table.
