Ted asks about what maturity looks like (Hebrews 6:1) after having come to have faith in Jesus Christ, and reads from Ephesians 1:17-23. Rod reads a quote from John Calvin’s Institutes, and speaks about how much we sons of Adam and daughters of eve are drawn to look to our works for assurance and confirmation of salvation, and yet what a good pastor is preparing people for.

Ted asks about what is true about what the Lord’s Supper is and what it does. Rod talks about when Luther went to Marburg to debate with Zwingly, how he made the case for what the Lord’s Supper actually is, what the first Christians considered it to be, the historical discussion about it, and what spiritual benefits it sounds like sinners receive from it.
