Kingdom Polemics

Fidelity over Frequency at the Table


Listen Later

In this episode of Kingdom Polemics, we are providing a rebroadcast of a sermon given by Pastor Aldo Leon at Pinelands Presbyterian in Cutler Bay, FL. He delves into the biblical principles surrounding the Lord's Supper, emphasizing the importance of fidelity over frequency in communion. Drawing from Exodus 12, 1 Corinthians 11, and historical Reformed practices, Pastor Leon challenges the common assumption that more frequent communion automatically leads to spiritual benefit. Instead, he argues that preparation, reverence, and faithfulness should shape our approach to the sacrament.

Episode Highlights:

  • The Biblical Model of Preparation – Why Exodus 12's Passover instructions reveal the necessity of self-examination before partaking in the Lord's Supper.
  • Unity and Division at the Table – How the Supper both unites believers in Christ and marks a visible distinction between the Church and the world.
  • Consecration and Anticipation – The call for believers to approach the Table with reverence, personal holiness, and readiness, rather than casual routine.
  • Meditation on Christ and His Work – Encouraging deep reflection on Jesus' atonement, sacrifice, and covenantal promises in communion.
  • The Dangers of Superficial Participation – How improper observance of the Supper can lead to spiritual judgment, as Paul warns in 1 Corinthians 11.
  • Rejecting Revivalism's Emotionalism – Critiquing the modern tendency to replace genuine preparation with hype-driven, momentary experiences.
