Belgic Confession, Article 35: The Lord’s Supper

Matthew 26:26–29; John 6:53–58; 1 Corinthians 11:23–29

Description:

In this teaching on Article 35 of the Belgic Confession, Samuel Oyeyinka unpacks the profound mystery and meaning of the Lord’s Supper. More than a symbolic ritual, the Supper is a spiritual feast where believers are nourished by Christ Himself.

This sermon emphasizes:

The true spiritual presence of Christ in the Supper, not just a memorial act

The Supper as a means of grace where believers receive Christ by faith

The necessity of self-examination before partaking, guarding against unworthy participation (1 Cor. 11)

The Supper as a sign and seal of our union with Christ and one another in the church

The contrast between Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice and the Roman Catholic Mass

Listeners are reminded that the Lord’s Table is where heaven meets earth—where Christ feeds His people and strengthens them for the journey of faith
